Paragrassmann Analysis and Quantum Groups

Paragrassmann algebras with one and many paragrassmann variables are considered from the algebraic point of view without using the Green ansatz. Operators of differentiation with respect to paragrassmann variables and a covariant para-super-derivative are introduced giving a natural generalization of the Grassmann calculus to a paragrassmann one. Deep relations between paragrassmann algebras and quantum groups with deformation parameters being roots of unity are established.
