q-Epsilon tensor for quantum and braided spaces

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-28 v2 Quantum Algebra

Abstract

The machinery of braided geometry introduced previously is used now to construct the ϵ\epsilon `totally antisymmetric tensor' on a general braided vector space determined by R-matrices. This includes natural qq-Euclidean and qq-Minkowski spaces. The formalism is completely covariant under the corresponding quantum group such as SOq(4)~\widetilde{SO_q(4)} or SOq(1,3)~\widetilde{SO_q(1,3)}. The Hodge * operator and differentials are also constructed in this approach.
