Let $\U_q(\fg)$ be the quantum supergroup of $\gl_{m|n}$ or the modified quantum supergroup of $\osp_{m|2n}$ over the field of rational functions in $q$, and let $V_q$ be the natural module for $\U_q(\fg)$. There exists a unique tensor functor, associated with $V_q$, from the category of ribbon graphs to the category of finite dimensional representations of $\U_q(\fg)$, which preserves ribbon category structures. We show that this functor is full in the cases $\fg=\gl_{m|n}$ or $\osp_{2\ell+1|2n}$. For $\fg=\osp_{2\ell|2n}$, we show that the space $\Hom_{\U_q(\fg)}(V_q^{\otimes r}, V_q^{\otimes s})$ is spanned by images of ribbon graphs if $r+s< 2\ell(2n+1)$. The proofs involve an equivalence of module categories for two versions of the quantisation of $\U(\fg)$.

Some filtrations of the tensor product of a highest weight module and a lowest weight module over quantum group Uq(g)are constructed in[1]and one can use them to define a two-sided ideal of the modified quantized enveloping algebra. It is shown that the quotient algebra inherits a canonical basis from the modified quantized enveloping algebra and is dual to the quantum coordinate algebra defined by Kashiwara for a symmetrizable Kac–Moody algebra g.
