Metric on quantum spaces

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We introduce the analogue of the metric tensor in case of q-deformed differential calculus. We analyse the consequences of the existence of such metric, showing that this enforces severe restrictions on the parameters of the theory. We discuss in detail the examples of the Manin plane and the q-deformation of SU(2). Finally we touch the topic of relations with the Connes' approach.


The \(q\)-analogue of the metric tensor in the case of \(q\)-deformed differential calculus is introduced. The Manin plane and the \(q\)-deformed SU(2) are discussed in some detail. The relation with the Connes approach is mentioned.
