Quantum Poincar\'e-Weyl group in two dimensional quantum Minkowski space-time is considered and an appriopriate relativistic kinematics is investigated. It is claimed that a consistent approach to the above questions demands a kind of a…
We clarify the relation between the approach to $q$-Minkowski space of Carow-Watamura et al. with an approach based on the idea of $2\times 2$ braided Hermitean matrices. The latter are objects like super-matrices but with Bose-Fermi…
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…
This paper introduces and investigates a class of noncommutative spacetimes that I will call ``T-Minkowski,'' whose quantum Poincar\'e group of isometries exhibits unique and physically motivated characteristics. Notably, the coordinates on…
Attention is focused on quantum spaces of physical importance, i.e. Manin plane, q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions as well as q-deformed Minkowski space. There are algebra isomorphisms that allow to identify quantum…
Quantum Lorentz groups H admitting quantum Minkowski space V are selected. Natural structure of a quantum space G = V x H is introduced, defining a quantum group structure on G only for triangular H (q=1). We show that it defines a braided…
$*$-structures on quantum and braided spaces of the type defined via an R-matrix are studied. These include $q$-Minkowski and $q$-Euclidean spaces as additive braided groups. The duality between the $*$-braided groups of vectors and…
We present a systematic introduction to the geometry of linear braided spaces. These are versions of $\R^n$ in which the coordinates $x_i$ have braid-statistics described by an R-matrix. From this starting point we survey the author's…
We use braided groups to introduce a theory of $*$-structures on general inhomogeneous quantum groups, which we formulate as {\em quasi-$*$} Hopf algebras. This allows the construction of the tensor product of unitary representations up to…
Using the general theory of [10] ( hep-th 9412058 ), quantum Poincar\'e groups (without dilatations) are described and investigated. The description contains a set of numerical parameters which satisfy certain polynomial equations. For most…
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…
This is a systematic introduction for physicists to the theory of algebras and groups with braid statistics, as developed over the last three years by the author. There are braided lines, braided planes, braided matrices and braided groups…
We develop a general theory of `quantum' diffeomorphism groups based on the universal comeasuring quantum group $M(A)$ associated to an algebra $A$ and its various quotients. Explicit formulae are introduced for this construction, as well…
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…
The quest for a quantum gravity phenomenology has inspired a quantum notion of space-time, which motivates us to study the fate of the relativistic symmetries of a particular model of quantum space-time, as well as its intimate connection…
A generalised equivalence principle is put forward according to which space-time symmetries and internal quantum symmetries are indistinguishable before symmetry breaking. Based on this principle, a higher-dimensional extension of Minkowski…
The connection between braided Hopf algebra structure and the quantum group covariance of deformed oscillators is constructed explicitly. In this context we provide deformations of the Hopf algebra of functions on SU(1,1). Quantum subgroups…
In this study, we construct a 1+1-dimensional, relativistic, free, complex scalar Quantum Field Theory on the noncommutative spacetime known as lightlike $\kappa$-Minkowski. The associated $\kappa$-Poincar\'e quantum group of isometries is…
A survey of results on quantum Poincare groups and quantum Minkowski spaces is presented.
A new type of algebras that represent a generalization of both quantum groups and braided groups is defined. These algebras are given by a pair of solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation that satisfy some additional conditions. Several…
