Abstract: A complete classification is given of all inner actions on the Clifford algebra C(1,3) defined by representations of the quantum group GL_q(2,C), q^m eq 1, which are not reduced to representations of two commuting "q-spinors". As a consequence of this classification it is shown that the space of invariants of every GL_q(2,C)-action of this type, which is not an action of SL_q(2,C), is generated by 1 and the value of the quantum determinant for the given representation.


This paper studies actions and invariants of \(\text{GL}_q(2,\mathbb{C})\) on the Clifford algebra \(C(1,3)\), which is isomorphic to the algebra of 4 by 4 matrices over \(\mathbb{C}\), in the sense that \(C(1,3)\) is a \(\text{GL}_q(2,\mathbb{C})\)-module algebra. First, the authors determine up to equivalence certain representations of quantum 2-space (\(q^3\neq 1\), \(q^4\neq 1\)), which they use to investigate the inner actions defined by representations of the algebraic structure of \(\text{GL}_q(2,\mathbb{C})\). They give a complete classification, when \(q\) is not a root of unity, of all inner actions on \(C(1,3)\) defined by representations of \(\text{GL}_q(2,\mathbb{C})\) with non-zero ``perturbations, i.e., the image of \(x_{11}x_{22}-x_{22}x_{11}=(q-q^{-1})x_{12}x_{21}\) is not zero. As a consequence of this classification, it is shown that the invariants of such an action, which is not an action of \(\text{SL}_q(2,\mathbb{C})\), is generated by 1 and the value of the quantum determinant for the given representation.
