Hidden Symmetry of the Differential Calculus on the Quantum Matrix Space

The differential calculus on the quantum supergroup GL$_q(1| 1)$ was introduced by Schmidke {\it et al}. (1990 {\it Z. Phys. C} {\bf 48} 249). We construct a differential calculus on the quantum supergroup GL$_q(1| 1)$ in a different way and we obtain its quantum superalgebra. The main structures are derived without an R-matrix. It is seen that the found results can be written with help of a matrix $\hat{R}$

A variety of three-dimensional left-covariant differential calculi on the quantum group $SU_q(2)$ is considered using an approach based on global $ U(1) $ -covariance. Explicit representations of possible $q $-Lie algebras are constructed in terms of differential operators. A gauge covariant differential algebra is uniquely determined. The non-standard Leibnitz rule is obtained for a corresponding $q$-Lie algebra.

There are only two quantum group structures on the space of two by two unimodular matrices, these are the $SL_q(2)$ and the $SL_h(2)$ [9-13] quantum groups. One can not construct a differential geometry on $ SL_q(2)$, which at the same time is bicovariant, has three generators, and satisfies the Liebnitz rule. We show that such a differential geometry exists for the quantum group $SL_h(2)$ and derive all of its properties.

We discuss quantum deformation of the affine transformation group and its Lie algebra. It is shown that the quantum algebra has a non-cocommutative Hopf algebra structure, simple realizations and quantum tensor operators. The deformation of the group is achieved by using the adjoint representation. The elements of quantum matrix form a Hopf algebra. Furthermore, we construct a differential calculus which is covariant with respect to the action of the quantum matrix.

Let A be a cosemisimple Hopf *-algebra with antipode S and let $\Gamma$ be a left-covariant first order differential *-calculus over A such that $\Gamma$ is self-dual and invariant under the Hopf algebra automorphism S^2. A quantum Clifford algebra $\Cl(\Gamma,\sigma,g)$ is introduced which acts on Woronowicz' external algebra $\Gamma^\wedge$. A minimal left ideal of $\Cl(\Gamma,\sigma,g)$ which is an A-bimodule is called a spinor module. Metrics on spinor modules are investi...

In this work, we introduce the ${\mathbb Z}_3$-graded differential algebra, denoted by $\Omega(\widetilde{\rm GL}_q(2))$, treated as the ${\mathbb Z}_3$-graded quantum de Rham complex of ${\mathbb Z}_3$-graded quantum group $\widetilde{\rm GL}_q(2)$. In this sense, we construct left-covariant differential calculi on the ${\mathbb Z}_3$-graded quantum group $\widetilde{\rm GL}_q(2)$.

We propose a definition of a quantised $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-differential algebra and show that the quantised exterior algebra (defined by Berenstein and Zwicknagl) and the quantised Clifford algebra (defined by the authors) of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ are natural examples of such algebras.

For differential calculi over certain right coideal subalgebras of quantum groups the notion of quantum tangent space is introduced. In generalization of a result by Woronowicz a one to one correspondence between quantum tangent spaces and covariant first order differential calculi is established. This result is used to classify differential calculi over quantum Grassmann manifolds. It turns out that up to special cases in low dimensions there exists exactly one such calculus...

We show that the differential complex $\Omega_{B}$ over the braided matrix algebra $BM_{q}(N)$ represents a covariant comodule with respect to the coaction of the Hopf algebra $\Omega_{A}$ which is a differential extension of $GL_{q}(N)$. On the other hand, the algebra $\Omega_{A}$ is a covariant braided comodule with respect to the coaction of the braided Hopf algebra $\Omega_{B}$. Geometrical aspects of these results are discussed.

We show that if $g_\Gamma$ is the quantum tangent space (or quantum Lie algebra in the sense of Woronowicz) of a bicovariant first order differential calculus over a coquasitriangular Hopf algebra $(A,r)$, then a certain extension of it is a braided Lie algebra in the category of $A$-comodules. This is used to show that the Woronowicz quantum universal enveloping algebra $U(g_\Gamma)$ is a bialgebra in the braided category of $A$-comodules. We show that this algebra is quadra...
