We propose a simple and concise method to construct the inhomogeneous quantum group IGLq(n) and its universal enveloping algebra Uq(igl(n)). Our technique is based on embedding an n-dimensional quantum space in an n+1-dimensional one as the set xn+1=1. This is possible only if one considers the multiparametric quantum space whose parameters are fixed in a specific way. The quantum group IGLq(n) is then the subset of GLq(n+1), which leaves the xn+1=1 subset invariant. For the deformed universal enveloping algebra Uq(igl(n)), we will show that it can also be embedded in Uq(gl(n+1)), provided one uses the multiparametric deformation of U(gl(n+1)) with a specific choice of its parameters. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
