Universal enveloping algebra and differential calculi on inhomogeneous orthogonal q-groups

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We review the construction of the multiparametric quantum group ISOq,r (N) as a projection from SOq,r(N + 2) and show that it is a bicovariant bimodule over SOq,r(N). The universal enveloping algebra Uq,r(iso(N)), characterized as the Hopf algebra of regular functionals on ISOq,r(N), is found as a Hopf subalgebra of Uq,r(so(N + 2)) and is shown to be a bicovariant bimodule over Uq,r(so(N)). An R-matrix formulation of Uq,r(iso(N)) is given and we prove the pairing Uq,r(so(N)) ↔ ISOq,r(N). We analyze the subspaces of Uq,r(iso(N)) that define bicovariant differential calculi on ISOq,r(N).
