dc.descriptionThe $q$--deformation $U_q (h_4)$ of the harmonic oscillator algebra is defined and proved to be a Ribbon Hopf algebra.Associated with this Hopf algebra we define an infinite dimensional braid group representation on the Hilbert space of the harmonic oscillator, and an extended Yang--Baxter system in the sense of Turaev. The corresponding link invariant is computed in some particular cases and coincides with the inverse of the Alexander--Conway polynomial. The $R$ matrix of $U_q (h_4)$ can be interpreted as defining a baxterization of the intertwiners for semicyclic representations of $SU(2)_q$ at $q=e^{2 πi/N}$ in the $N \rightarrow \infty$ limit.Finally we define new multicolored braid group representations and study their relation to the multivariable Alexander--Conway polynomial.
