Noncommutative geometry on central extension of U(u(2))

In our previous publications we have introduced analogs of partial derivatives on the algebras U(gl(N)). In the present paper we compare two methods of introducing these analogs: via the so-called quantum doubles and by means of a coalgebraic structure. In the case N=2 we extend the quantum partial derivatives from U(u(2)) (the compact form of the algebra U(gl(2))) on a bigger algebra, constructed in two steps. First, we define the derivatives on a central extension of this algebra, then we prolongate them on some elements of the corresponding skew-field by using the Cayley-Hamilton identities for certain matrices with noncommutative entries. Eventual applications of this differential calculus are discussed.
