Abstract

We analyze bicovariant differential calculus on κ\kappa-Minkowski spacetime. It is shown that corresponding Lorentz generators and noncommutative coordinates compatible with bicovariant calculus cannot be realized in terms of commutative coordinates and momenta. Furthermore, κ\kappa-Minkowski space and NC forms are constructed by twist related to a bicrossproduct basis. It is pointed out that the consistency condition is not satisfied. We present the construction of κ\kappa-deformed coordinates and forms (super-Heisenberg algebra) using extended twist. It is compatible with bicovariant differential calculus with κ\kappa-deformed igl(4)\mathfrak{igl}(4)-Hopf algebra. The extended twist leading to κ\kappa-Poincar\'{e}-Hopf algebra is also discussed.
