Abstract: We construct canonical strongly bicovariant differential graded algebra structures on all four flavours of cross product Hopf algebras, namely double cross products , double cross coproducts , biproducts and bicrossproducts on the assumption that the factors have strongly bicovariant calculi Omega(A),Omega(H) (or a braided version Omega(B)). We use super versions of each of the constructions. Moreover, the latter three quantum groups all coact canonically on one of their factors and we show that this coaction is differentiable. In the case of the Drinfeld double (where A is dually paired to H), we show that its canonical actions on A,H are differentiable. Examples include are a canonical Omega(BbbCq[GL2ltimesBbbC2]) for the quantum group of affine transformations of the quantum plane and Omega(BbbClambda[mPoinc1,1]) for the bicrossproduct Poincar'e quantum group in 2 dimensions. We also show that Omega(BbbCq[GL2]) itself is uniquely determined by differentiability of the canonical coaction on the quantum plane and of the determinant subalgebra.


As the authors note, ``a modern quantum groups approach to noncommutative geometry starts with differential structures on quantum groups or Hopf algebras and associated comodule algebras, expressed in the form of a differential graded algebra (DGA). Actually, in general there are many such DGA's on a given Hopf algebra. In the paper under review, the authors construct canonical strongly bicovariant differential graded algebra structures on all four flavours of cross product Hopf algebras: a double cross product, a double cross coproduct, bicoproduct and bicrossproduct on the assumption that the factors have strongly bicovariant calculi.
