Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the structure of highest weight modules over the quantum queer superalgebra \({U_q(\mathfrak {q}(n))}\). The key ingredients are the triangular decomposition of \({U_q(\mathfrak {q}(n))}\) and the classification of finite dimensional irreducible modules over quantum Clifford superalgebras. The main results we prove are the classical limit theorem and the complete reducibility theorem for \({U_q(\mathfrak {q}(n))}\)-modules in the category \({\mathcal {O}_{q}^{\geq 0}}\).
