On construction of unitary quantum group differential calculus

We develop a construction of the unitary type anti-involution for the quantized differential calculus over $GL_q(n)$ in the case $|q|=1$. To this end, we consider a joint associative algebra of quantized functions, differential forms and Lie derivatives over $GL_q(n)/SL_q(n)$, which is bicovariant with respect to $GL_q(n)/SL_q(n)$ coactions. We define a specific non-central {\em spectral extension} of this algebra by the spectral variables of three matrices of the algebra generators. In the spectrally expended algebra we construct three-parametric family of its inner automorphisms. These automorphisms are used for construction of the unitary anti-involution for the (spectrally extended) calculus over $GL_q(n)$.
