For a $C^*$-algebra generated by a finite family of isometries $s_j$, $j=1,\dots,d$, satisfying the $q_{ij}$-commutation relations \[ s_j^* s_j = I, \quad s_j^* s_k = q_{ij}s_ks_j^*, \qquad q_{ij} = \bar q_{ji}, |q_{ij}|<1, \ 1\le i \ne j \le d, \] we construct an infinite family of unitarily non-equivalent irreducible representations. These representations are deformations of a corresponding class of representations of the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal O_d$.

Для $C^*$-алгебри, породженої скінченною сім’єю ізометрій $s_j$, $j=1,\dots,d$, що задовольняє $q_{ij}$-комутаційним співвідношенням \[ s_j^* s_j = I, \quad s_j^* s_k = q_{ij}s_ks_j^*, \qquad q_{ij} = \bar q_{ji}, |q_{ij}|<1, \ 1\le i \ne j \le d, \] ми будуємо нескінченну сім'ю унітарно нееквівалентних незвідних представлень. Ці представлення є деформаціями відповідного класу представлень алгебри Кунца $\mathcal O_d$.

For a certain class of finite posets, we prove that all their irreducible orthoscalar representations are finite-dimensional and describe those, for which there exist essential (non-degenerate) irreducible orthoscalar representations.

Irreducible representations of $*$-algebras $A_q$ generated by relations of the form $a_i^*a_i+a_ia_i^*=1$, $i=1,2$, $a_1^*a_2=qa_2a_1^*$, where $q\in (0,1)$ is fixed, are classified up to the unitary equivalence. The case $q=0$ is considered separately. It is shown that the $C^*$-algebras $\mathcal{A}_q^F$ and $\mathcal{A}_0^F$ generated by operators of Fock representations of $A_q$ and $A_0$ are isomorphic for any $q\in (0,1)$. A realisation of the universal $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}_0$ generated by $A_0$ as an algebra of continuous operator-valued functions is given.

We study conditions under which the images of irreducible quadruples of linearly connected projections give rise to all transitive systems of subspaces in a finite dimensional Hilbert space.
