In this letter we derive a deformed Dirac equation invariant under the k-Poincare` quantum algebra. A peculiar feature is that the square of the k-Dirac operator is related to the second Casimir (the k-deformed squared Pauli-Lubanski…
The gauging of the q-Poincar\'e algebra of ref. hep-th 9312179 yields a non-commutative generalization of the Einstein-Cartan lagrangian. We prove its invariance under local q-Lorentz rotations and, up to a total derivative, under…

We begin with a deformation of a differential graded algebra by adding time and using a homotopy. It is shown that the standard formulae of It\^o calculus are an example, with four caveats: First, it says nothing about probability. Second,…
