Level-One Highest Weight Representations of $U_q[\hat{gl(1|1)}]$ and Associated Vertex Operators

Abstract

We study the level-one irreducible highest weight representations of $U_q[\hat{gl(1|1)}]$ and associated q-vertex operators. We obtain the exchange relations satisfied by the vertex operators. The characters and supercharacters associated with these irreducible representations are calculated.
