Abstract:  We introduce a new quantized enveloping superalgebra U_q(p(n)) that is a quantization of the Lie bisuperalgebra structure on the periplectic Lie superalgebra p(n). We show some of the basic properties of the quantization. We also introduce the periplectic q-Brauer algebra. This is a joint work with D. Grantcharov and N. Guay.
