Differential structure on the $\kappa$-Minkowski spacetime from twist

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-02-02 v2

Abstract

We study four dimensional κ\kappa-Minkowski spacetime constructed by the twist deformation of U(igl(4,R))U(igl(4,R)). We demonstrate that the differential structure of such twist-deformed κ\kappa-Minkowski spacetime is closed in four dimensions contrary to the construction of κ\kappa-Poincar\'{e} bicovariant calculus which needs an extra fifth dimension. Our construction holds in arbitrary dimensional spacetimes.
