Quantisation of U_q[OSP(1/2N)] with Deformed Para-Bose Operators

The observation that $n$ pairs of para-Bose (pB) operators generate the universal enveloping algebra of the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra $osp(1/2n)$ is used in order to define deformed pB operators. It is shown that these operators are an alternative to the Chevalley generators. On this background $U_q[osp(1/2n)]$, its "Cartan-Weyl" generators and their "supercommutation" relations are written down entirely in terms of deformed pB operators. An analog of the Poincare- Birkhoff-Witt theorem is formulated.
