  Abstract:
It is shown that finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the quantum matrix algebra Mq(3) (the coordinate ring of GLq(3)) exist only when q is a root of unity (qp=1). The dimensions of these representations can only be one of the following values: p3, p3/2, p3/4, or p3/8. The topology of the space of states ranges between two extremes, from a three-dimensional torus S1 ×S1 ×S1 (which may be thought of as a generalization of the cyclic representation) to a three-dimensional cube [0,1]×[0,1] ×[0,1].
