Noncommutative Differential Calculus on the Kappa-Minkowski Space

preprint1994arXivOpen access

Abstract

Following the construction of the κκ-Minkowski space from the bicrossproduct structure of the κκ-Poincare group, we investigate possible differential calculi on this noncommutative space. We discuss then the action of the Lorentz quantum algebra and prove that there are no 4D bicovariant differential calculi, which are Lorentz covariant. We show, however, that there exist a five-dimensional differential calculus, which satisfies both requirements. We study also a toy example of 2D κκ-Minkowski space and and we briefly discuss the main properties of its differential calculi.
