Theory of q-deformed forms. I: q-deformed alternating tensor and q-deformed wedge product (Q1919229)

The authors develop some new aspects from the theory of \(q\)-deformed alternating tensors. They prove the associativity of the \(q\)-deformed wedge product, \(q\)-deformed Stokes theorem and \(q\)-deformed Poincaré lemma. The paper is the first part of a series of three papers which develop the theory of \(q\)-deformed forms and point out some of its applications. [For part II and III see below, Zbl 0854.58002 and Zbl 0854.58003].
