چکیده

We present a systematic introduction to the geometry of linear braided spaces. These are versions of R n in which the coordinates x i have braid-statistics described by an R-matrix. From this starting point we survey the author's braided-approach to q-deformation: braided differentiation, exponentials, Gaussians, integration and forms, i.e. the basic ingredients for q-deformed physics are covered. The braided approach includes natural q-Euclidean and q-Minkowski spaces in R-matrix form.

We show that the differential complex Ω B over the braided matrix algebra BM q (N) represents a covariant comodule with respect to the coaction of the Hopf algebra Ω A which is a differential extension of GL q (N). On the other hand, the algebra Ω A is a covariant braided comodule with respect to the coaction of the braided Hopf algebra Ω B. Geometrical aspects of these results are discussed.

The Future Tube T + n of n-dimensional Minkowski spacetime may be identified with the reduced phase space P , or " space of motions " of a particle moving in (n + 1)-dimensional Anti-de-Sitter Spacetime. Both are isomorphic to a homogeneous bounded domain in C n whose Shilov boundary may be identified with n-dimensional conformally compactified Minkowski spacetime.

We propose the action of d = 4 Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spinning particle with arbitrary fixed quantum numbers. Regardless of the spin value, the configuration space is M4ρ × S 2 where M4ρ is d = 4 AdS space, and two-dimensional sphere S corresponds to spinning degrees of freedom. The model is an AdS counterpart of the massive spinning particle in the Minkowski space proposed earlier. Being AdS-inv...
