Abstract

From the bicovariant first order differential calculus on inhomogeneous Hopf algebra B{\cal B} we construct the set of right-invariant Maurer-Cartan one-forms considered as a right-invariant basis of a bicovariant B{\cal B}-bimodule over which we develop the Woronowicz's general theory of differential calculus on quantum groups. In this formalism, we introduce suitable functionals on B{\cal B} which control the inhomogeneous commutation rules. In particular we find that the homogeneous part of commutation rules between the translations and those between the generators of the homogeneous part of B{\cal B} and translations are controled by different R-matrices satisfying nontrivial characteristic equations.
