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 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 \({\mathbb {C}}(n|n)^{\otimes l}\). We end by proposing a definition for a new periplectic q-Schur superalgebra.
