We propose a contraction of the de Sitter quantum group leading to the quantum Poincare group in any dimensions. The method relies on the coaction of the de Sitter quantum group on a non--commutative space, and the deformation parameter $q$…
We study the quantum matrix algebra $R_{21}x_1x_2=x_2x_1 R$ and for the standard $2\times 2$ case propose it for the co-ordinates of $q$-deformed Euclidean space. The algebra in this simplest case is isomorphic to the usual quantum matrices…
A nonlinear change of basis allows to show that the non-standard quantum deformation of the (3+1) Poincare algebra has a bicrossproduct structure. Quantum universal R-matrix, Pauli-Lubanski and mass operators are presented in the new basis.
The braided approach to q-deformation (due to the author and collaborators) gives natural algebras $R_{21}u_1Ru_2=u_2R_{21}u_1R$ and $R_{21}x_1x_2=x_2x_1R$ for q-Minkowski and q-Euclidean spaces respectively. These algebras are covariant…
We construct quantum deformation of Poincar\'e group using as a starting point $SU(2,2)$ conformal group and twistor-like definition of the Minkowski space. We obtain quantum deformation of $SU(2,2)$ as a real form of multiparametric…

We study a three dimensional non-commutative space emerging in the context of three dimensional Euclidean quantum gravity. Our starting point is the assumption that the isometry group is deformed to the Drinfeld double D(SU(2)). We…
We discuss the quantum Poincar\'e symmetries of the $\varrho$-Minkowski spacetime, a space characterised by an angular form of noncommutativity. We show that it is possible to give them both a bicrossproduct and a Drinfel'd twist structure.…
We show that the $\kappa$-deformed Poincar\'e quantum algebra proposed for elementary particle physics has the structure of a Hopf agebra bicrossproduct $U(so(1,3))\cobicross T$. The algebra is a semidirect product of the classical Lorentz…
A new derivation of the quantum deformation of the 2 dimensional Euclidean Poincare group (cf S. Zakrzewski) is proposed. It is based on a contraction of the Hopf algebra Fun(SO_q(3)). The deformation parameter q is sent to one, as in the…
We investigate a quantum geometric space in the context of what could be considered an emerging effective theory from Quantum Gravity. Specifically we consider a two-parameter class of twisted Poincar\'e algebras, from which Lie-algebraic…
We study irreducible spherical unitary representations of the Drinfeld double of a $q$-deformation of a connected simply connected compact Lie group, which can be considered as a quantum analogue of the complexification of the Lie group. In…
We discuss the bicrossproduct structure of the quantum group $\varrho$-Poincar\'e and of the dual quantum universal enveloping algebra, expanding the construction to general Lie algebra-type deformations of Poincar\'e coming from classical…
We give a detailed description of the adjoint representation of Drinfeld's twist element, as well as of its coproduct, for $su_{q}(2)$. We also discuss, as applications, the computation of the universal R-matrix in this representation and…

We review the construction of the multiparametric inhomogeneous orthogonal quantum group ISO_qr(N) as a projection from SO_qr(N+2), and recall the conjugation that for N=4 leads to the quantum Poincare group. We study the properties of the…
The $q$-Poincar\'e group of \cite{SWW:inh} is shown to have the structure of a semidirect product and coproduct $B\cocross \widetilde{SO_q(1,3)}$ where $B$ is a braided-quantum group structure on the $q$-Minkowski space of 4-momentum with…
We consider the mixed states of the bipartite quantum system with the first party a qubit and the second a qutrit. The group of local unitary transformations of the system, ignoring the overall phase factor, is the direct product G of SU(2)…
