Abstract

We construct quantum deformation of Poincar\'e group using as a starting point SU(2,2)SU(2,2) conformal group and twistor-like definition of the Minkowski space. We obtain quantum deformation of SU(2,2)SU(2,2) as a real form of multiparametric GL(4,C)qij,rGL(4,C)_{q_{ij},r}. It is shown that Poincar\'e subgroup exists for special nonstandard one-parametric deformation only, the deformation parameter rr being equal to unity. This leads to commuting affine structure of the corresponding Minkowski space and simple structure of the corresponding Lie algebra, the deformation of the group being non-trivial.
