Abstract

We introduce a new quantized enveloping superalgebra $\mathfrak{U}_q\mathfrak{p}_n$ attached to the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{p}_n$ of type P. The superalgebra $\mathfrak{U}_q\mathfrak{p}_n$ is a quantization of a Lie bisuperalgebra structure on $\mathfrak{p}_n$ and we study some of its basic properties. We determine representations of the superalgebra $\mathfrak{U}_q\mathfrak{p}_n$ and derive its Drinfeld-Jimbo relations. We prove the triangular decomposition of $\mathfrak{U}_q\mathfrak{p}_n$ and introduce some preliminary results concerning the highest weight representation of $\mathfrak{U}_q\mathfrak{p}_n$. We also introduce the periplectic q-Brauer algebra and prove that it is the centralizer of the $\mathfrak{U}_q\mathfrak{p}_n$-module structure on $\mathbb{C}(n|n)^{\otimes \ell}$. Finally, we propose a definition for a new periplectic q-Schur superalgebra.
