Abstract
We construct a right-invariant differential calculus on the quantum supergroupGL q (1/1) and we show that the quantum Lie algebra generators satisfy the undeformed Lie superalgebra. The deformation becomes apparent when one studies the comultiplication for these generators. We bring the algebra into the standard Drinfeld-Jimbo form by performing a suitable change of variables, and we check the consistency of the map with the induced comultiplication.
