We define complex Minkowski superspace in 4 dimensions as the big cell inside a complex flag supermanifold. The complex conformal supergroup acts naturally on this super flag, allowing us to interpret it as the conformal compactification of…
We give a quantum deformation of the chiral super Minkowski space in four dimensions as the big cell inside a quantum super Grassmannian. The quantization is performed in such way that the actions of the Poincar\'e and conformal quantum…
The meaning of quantum group transformation properties is discussed in some detail by comparing the (co)actions of the quantum group with those of the corresponding Lie group, both of which have the same algebraic (matrix) form of the…
We explore potential uses of physics formulated in Kleinian (i.e., $2+2$) signature spacetimes as a tool for understanding properties of physics in Lorentzian (i.e., $3+1$) signature. Much as Euclidean (i.e., $4+0$) signature quantities can…
Starting with assumptions both simple and natural from "physical" point of view we present a direct construction of transformations preserving wide class of (anti)commutation relations which describe Euclidean/Minkowski superspace…
Attention is focused on antisymmetrised versions of quantum spaces that are of particular importance in physics, i.e. Manin plane, q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions as well as q-deformed Minkowski space. For each of…
We give a quantum deformation of the chiral Minkowski superspace in 4 dimensions embedded as the big cell into the chiral conformal superspace. Both deformations are realized as quantum homogeneous superspaces: we deform the ring of regular…
We study all four-dimensional simply-connected indecomposable non-semisimple pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces whose metric has signature (2,2). We present models and compute their isometry groups. We solve the problem of the existence or…
We generalise the notions of supersymmetry and superspace by allowing generators and coordinates transforming according to more general Lorentz representations than the spinorial and vectorial ones of standard lore. This yields novel…
We review known real forms of the quantum orthogonal groups SO_q(N). New *-conjugations are then introduced and we contruct all real forms of quantum orthogonal groups. We thus give an RTT formulation of the *-conjugations on SO_q(N) that…
In this paper we give an explicit expression for a star product on the super Minkowski space written in the supertwistor formalism. The big cell of the super Grassmannian Gr(2|0, 4|1) is identified with the chiral, super Minkowki space. The…
Covariant differential calculi and exterior algebras on quantum homogeneous spaces endowed with the action of inhomogeneous quantum groups are classified. In the case of quantum Minkowski spaces they have the same dimensions as in the…
A survey of results on quantum Poincare groups and quantum Minkowski spaces is presented.
We factorize the space-time coordinates of Minkowski space into Weyl spinors with components in a split Clifford algebra. Poisson brackets are defined for spinor-valued canonical variables and applied to the quantization of point particles…
It is shown that algebra of quantum space of the title of the present paper may be realized on usual unphysical Minkowskii one. Equations of field theory and there solutions are discussed. Solution equations of particle motion are obtained…
An algebraic formulation of Riemannian geometry on quantum spaces is presented, where Riemannian metric, distance, Laplacian, connection, and curvature have their counterparts. This description is also extended to complex manifolds.…
We establish duality between real forms of the quantum deformation of the 4-dimensional orthogonal group studied by Fioresi et al. and the classification work made by Borowiec et al.. Classically these real forms are the isometry groups of…
We consider the analytic continuation of $(p+q)$-dimensional Minkowski space (with $p$ and $q$ even) to $(p,q)$-signature, and study the conformal boundary of the resulting "Klein space". Unlike the familiar $(-+++..)$ signature, now the…
We give the superalgebra of $N=2$ chiral (and antichiral) quantum superfields realized as a subalgebra of the quantum supergroup $\mathrm{SL}_q(4|2)$. The multiplication law in the quantum supergroup induces a coaction on the set of chiral…
We show that complex representations of Clifford algebra can always be reduced either to a real or to a quaternionic algebra depending on signature of complex space thus showing that complex spinors are unavoidably either real Majorana…
