Abstract: (arXiv)
We realize the Hopf algebra Uq1(so(N))U_{q^{-1}}(so(N)) as an algebra of differential operators on the quantum Euclidean space RqN{\bf R}_q^N. The generators are suitable q-deformed analogs of the angular momentum components on ordinary RN{\bf R}^N. The algebra Fun(RqN)Fun({\bf R}_q^N) of functions on RqN{\bf R}_q^N splits into a direct sum of irreducible vector representations of Uq1(so(N))U_{q^{-1}}(so(N)); the latter are explicitly constructed as highest weight representations.
