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…
To construct a quantum group gauge theory one needs an algebra which is invariant under gauge transformations. The existence of this invariant algebra is closely related with the existence of a differential algebra $\delta _{{\cal H}}…

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…

An exterior derivative, inner derivation, and Lie derivative are introduced on the quantum group $GL_{q}(N)$. $SL_{q}(N)$ is then found by constructing matrices with determinant unity, and the induced calculus is found.
We consider GLq(N)-covariant quantum algebras with generators satisfying quadratic polynomial relations. We show that, up to some inessential arbitrariness, there are only two kinds of such quantum algebras, namely, the algebras with…
