Abstract

A two-parameter quantum deformation of the affine Lie superalgebra osp(2\2)((2)) is introduced and studied in some detail. This algebra is the first example associated with nonsimply laced and twisted root systems of a quantum current algebra with the structure of a so-called infinite Hopf family of (super)algebras. A representation of this algebra at c = 1 is realized in the product Fock space of two commuting sets of Heisenberg algebras.
