  Abstract:
After showing that the magnetic translation operators are not the symmetries of the quantum Hall effect () on non-flat surfaces, we show that another set of operators which leads to the quantum group symmetries for some of these surfaces exists. As a first example we show that the su(2) symmetry of the on a sphere leads to suq(2) algebra in the equator. We explain this result by a contraction of su(2). Second, with the help of the symmetry operators of on the Poincar\acutee upper half plane, we will show that the ground-state wavefunctions form a representation of the suq(2) algebra.
