Infinitesimal Modular Group: $q$-Deformed ${\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}_2$ and Witt Algebra

We describe new $q$-deformations of the 3-dimensional Heisenberg algebra, the simple Lie algebra ${\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}_2$ and the Witt algebra. They are constructed through a realization as differential operators. These operators are related to the modular group and $q$-deformed rational numbers defined by Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko and lead to $q$-deformed Möbius transformations acting on the hyperbolic plane.
