dc.descriptionThe structure positive of unitary irreducible representations of the noncompact $u_q(2,1)$ quantum algebra that are related to a positive discrete series is examined. With the aid of projection operators for the $su_q(2)$ subalgebra, a $q$-analog of the Gel'fand--Graev formulas is derived in the basis corresponding to the reduction $u_q(2,1)\to su_q(2)\times u(1)$. Projection operators for the $su_q(1,1)$ subalgebra are employed to study the same representations for the reduction $u_q(2,1)\to u(1)\times su_q(1,1)$. The matrix elements of the generators of the $u_q(2,1)$ algebra are computed in this new basis. A general analytic expression for an element of the transformation bracket $<U|T>_q$ between the bases associated with above two reductions (the elements of this matrix are referred to as $q$-Weyl coefficients) is obtained for a general case where the deformation parameter $q$ is not equal to a root of unity. It is shown explicitly that, apart from a phase, $q$-Weyl coefficients coincide with the $q$-Racah coefficients for the $su_q(2)$ quantum algebra.
