| Jan 7, 2016 at 21:36 | comment | added | Edward Hughes | Just had an enlightening discussion on this topic with Tom Lenahan - seems like the particular commutation relations in (1) can be seen as a consequence of the natural definition of the $2$-dimensional quantum plane $ab = qba$. Apparently there's also a derivation of these relations from a universal enveloping algebra; if anyone has a reference, I'd be more than happy to hear! | |

| Jan 7, 2016 at 16:43 | comment | added | Edward Hughes | @CarloBeenakker - yes I have taken a look, but the intuitive explanation is rather vague, and the examples rather technical. I'm really looking for something in between! | |
