The differential calculus on the quantum supergroup GL$_q(1| 1)$ was introduced by Schmidke {\it et al}. (1990 {\it Z. Phys. C} {\bf 48} 249). We construct a differential calculus on the quantum supergroup GL$_q(1| 1)$ in a different way…
We introduce a construction of the differential calculus on the quantum supergroup GL$_{p,q}(1| 1)$. We obtain two differential calculi, respectively, associated with the left and right Cartan-Maurer one-forms. We also obtain the quantum…
We give a pedagogical introduction to the differential calculus on quantum groups by stressing at all stages the connection with the classical case ($q \rightarrow 1$ limit). The Lie derivative and the contraction operator on forms and…
The non-commutative differential calculus on quantum groups can be extended by introducing, in analogy with the classical case, inner product operators and Lie derivatives. For the case of $\GL$ we show how this extended calculus induces by…
We construct a bicovariant differential calculus on the quantum group $GL_q(3)$, and discuss its restriction to $[SU(3) \otimes U(1)]_q$. The $q$-algebra of Lie derivatives is found, as well as the Cartan-Maurer equations. All the…
A variety of three-dimensional left-covariant differential calculi on the quantum group $SU_q(2)$ is considered using an approach based on global $ U(1) $ -covariance. Explicit representations of possible $q $-Lie algebras are constructed…

We consider the possible covariant external algebra structures for Cartan's 1-forms on GL_q(N) and SL_q(N). We base upon the following natural postulates: 1. the invariant 1-forms realize an adjoint representation of quantum group; 2. all…
A review of recent developments in the quantum differential calculus. The quantum group $GL_q(n)$ is treated by considering it as a particular quantum space. Functions on $SL_q(n)$ are defined as a subclass of functions on $GL_q(n)$. The…
A review of the multiparametric linear quantum group GL_qr(N), its real forms, its dual algebra U(gl_qr(N)) and its bicovariant differential calculus is given in the first part of the paper. We then construct the (multiparametric) linear…
We consider the algebra of N x N matrices as a reduced quantum plane on which a finite-dimensional quantum group H acts. This quantum group is a quotient of U_q(sl(2,C)), q being an N-th root of unity. Most of the time we shall take N=3; in…
There are only two quantum group structures on the space of two by two unimodular matrices, these are the $SL_q(2)$ and the $SL_h(2)$ [9-13] quantum groups. One can not construct a differential geometry on $ SL_q(2)$, which at the same time…
We develop a construction of the unitary type anti-involution for the quantized differential calculus over $GL_q(n)$ in the case $|q|=1$. To this end, we consider a joint associative algebra of quantized functions, differential forms and…
The algebraic formulation of the quantum group covariant noncommutative geometry in the framework of the $R$-matrix approach to the theory of quantum groups is given. We consider structure groups taking values in the quantum groups and…
We develop a $GL_{qp}(2)$ invariant differential calculus on a two-dimensional noncommutative quantum space. Here the co-ordinate space for the exterior quantum plane is spanned by the differentials that are commutative (bosonic) in nature.
We construct a right-invariant differential calculus on the quantum supergroup GL$_h(1| 1)$ and obtain the $h$-deformed superalgebra of GL$_h(1| 1)$.
The inhomogeneous quantum groups $IGL_q(n)$ are obtained by means of a particular projection of $GL_q(n+1)$. The bicovariant differential calculus on $GL_q(n)$ is likewise projected into a consistent bicovariant calculus on $IGL_q(n)$.…
A class of differential calculi is explored which is determined by a set of automorphisms of the underlying associative algebra. Several examples are presented. In particular, differential calculi on the quantum plane, the $h$-deformed…
