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.
