Abstract

We construct realizations of the generators of the κ\kappa-Minkowski space and κ\kappa-Poincar\'{e} algebra as formal power series in the hh-adic extension of the Weyl algebra. The Hopf algebra structure of the κ\kappa-Poincar\'{e} algebra related to different realizations is given. We construct realizations of the exterior derivative and one-forms, and define a differential calculus on κ\kappa-Minkowski space which is compatible with the action of the Lorentz algebra. In contrast to the conventional bicovariant calculus, the space of one-forms has the same dimension as the κ\kappa-Minkowski space.
