On the Geometry of the Quantum Poincare Group

Journal Article · · Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements
We review the construction of the multiparametric inhomogeneousorthogonal quantum group ISO{sub q,r}(N) as a projection from SO{sub q,r}(N+2), and recall the conjugation that for N=4 leads to the quantum Poincare group. We study the properties of the universal enveloping algebra U{sub q,r}(iso(N)), and give an R-matrix formlation. A quantum Lie algebra and a bicovariant differential calculus on twisted ISO(N) are found.
