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 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 two different types of deformations for the linear group $ GL(n)$ which correspond to using of a general diagonal R-matrix. Relations between braided and quantum deformed algebras and their coactions on a quantum plane are…
The q-deformed traces and orbits for the two parametric quantum groups $GL_{qp}(2)$ and $GL_{qp}(1|1)$ are defined. They are subsequently used in the construction of $q$-orbit invariants for these groups. General $qp$-(super)oscillator…
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…
The algebraic formulation of the quantum group gauge models in the framework of the $R$-matrix approach to the theory of quantum groups is given. We consider gauge groups taking values in the quantum groups and noncommutative gauge fields…

The non-commutative differential calculus on the quantum groups $SL_q(N)$ is constructed. The quantum external algebra proposed contains the same number of generators as in the classical case. The exterior derivative defined in 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 construct a deformation of the quantum algebra Fun(T^*G) associated with Lie group G to the case where G is replaced by a quantum group G_q which has a bicovariant calculus. The deformation easily allows for the inclusion of the current…
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…
A bicovariant calculus of differential operators on a quantum group is constructed in a natural way, using invariant maps from \fun\ to \uqg\ , given by elements of the pure braid group. These operators --- the `reflection matrix' $Y \equiv…
We study a possibility to define the (braided) comultiplication for the GLq(N)-covariant differential complexes on some quantum spaces. We discover such `differential bialgebras' (and Hopf algebras) on the bosonic and fermionic 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 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 present a general method to deform the inhomogeneous algebras of the $B_n,C_n,D_n$ type, and find the corresponding bicovariant differential calculus. The method is based on a projection from $B_{n+1}, C_{n+1}, D_{n+1}$. For example we…
For the two-parameter matrix quantum group GLp,q(2) all bicovariant differential calculi (with a four-dimensional space of 1-forms) are known. They form a one-parameter family. Here, we give an improved presentation of previous results by…
We first give a pedagogical introduction to the differential calculus on q-groups and analize the relation between differential calculus and q-Lie algebra. Equivalent definitions of bicovariant differential calculus are studied and their…
