On the tensor product construction for \(q\)-differential algebras (Q1389158)

By a \(q\)-differential algebra is meant an \(\mathbb N\)-graded algebra with a derivative \(d\) such that \(q^N=0\) for some \(N\geq 2\) and \(d(\omega^i\omega^j)=d(\omega^i)\omega^j+q^i \omega^i d(\omega^j)\). The parameter \(q\) is required to be an \(N\)th primitive root of unity. Furthermore, one considers a braided (so called anyonic) tensor product of two graded algebras \(\mathcal A\) and \(\mathcal B\) with the rule \((a_1\otimes b_1)(a_2\otimes b_2)=q^{| b_1| | a_2| }(a_1a_2\otimes b_1b_2)\) (\(| a| =\) the grade of \(a\)). According to the main result, no anyonic tensor product of two \(q\)-differential algebras admits a \(q\)-differential structure.
