We define a natural quantum analog for the Z algebra, and which we refer to as the Zq algebra, by modding out the Heisenberg algebra from the quantum affine algebra Uq(sl(2)■) with level k. We discuss the representation theory of this Zq algebra. In particular, we exhibit its reduction to a group algebra, and to a tensor product of a group algebra with a quantum Clifford algebra when k=1, and k=2, and thus we recover the explicit constructions of Uq(sl(2)■)‐standard modules as achieved by Frenkel–Jing and Bernard, respectively. Moreover, for arbitrary nonzero level k, we show that the explicit basis for the simplest Z‐generalized Verma module as constructed by Lepowsky and Primc is also a basis for its corresponding Zq‐module, i.e., it is invariant under the q‐deformation for generic q. We expect this Zq algebra [associated with Uq(sl(2)■) at level k] to play the role of a dynamical symmetry in the off‐critical Zk statistical models.
