Abstract: A new canonical Hopf algebra called the quantum pseudo-K"ahler plane is introduced. This quantum group can be viewed as a deformation quantization of the complex two-dimensional plane mathbbC2 with a pseudo-K"ahler metric, or as a complexified version of the well-known quantum plane Hopf algebra. A natural class of nicely-behaved representations of the quantum pseudo-K"ahler plane algebra is defined and studied, in the spirit of the previous joint work of the author and I. B. Frenkel. The tensor square of a unique irreducible representation decomposes into the direct integral of the irreducibles, and the unitary decomposition map is expressed by a special function called the modular double compact quantum dilogarithm, used in the recent joint work of the author and C. Scarinci on the quantization of 3d gravity for positive cosmological constant case. Then, from the associativity of the tensor cube, and from the maps between the left and the right duals, we construct unitary operators forming a new representation of Kashaev's group of transformations of dotted ideal triangulations of punctured surfaces, as an analog of Kashaev's quantum Teichm"uller theory. The present work thus inspires one to look for a Kashaev-type quantization of 3d gravity for positive cosmological constant.
