Review text

The main concepts and results related to the problem of quantum deformation of the Poincaré algebra \(P_4\) are reviewed. It is noted that the \(\kappa\)-deformed Poincaré algebra \(U_\kappa(P_4)\) with the mass-like deformation parameter \(\kappa\) (\(\kappa\)-Poincaré algebra) was obtained firstly (Lukierski, Nowicki, Ruegg, 1991) via quantum de Sitter contraction of \(U_q(SO(3,2))\). Once the \(\kappa\)-deformation of the representations of the Poincaré algebra was realized, it was used for the description of the momentum wave functions for free particles with various spins in the framework of classical field theory. In the following, three different choices of a basis for the \(\kappa\)-Poincaré algebra were introduced: the standard basis (Lukierski, Nowicki, Ruegg, 1992), the covariant four-momenta basis (Ruegg, Tolstoy, 1993) and the basis with classical Lorentz subalgebra (Majid, Ruegg, 1994). The actions of finite Lorentz transformations, especially for the boosts in the \((0,1)\)-plane when using undeformed and \(\kappa\)-deformed Poincaré algebras are compared. The duality relations between the \(\kappa\)-Poincaré algebra \(U_\kappa(P_4)\) and the quantum Poincaré group \(P_\kappa\) are studied by making use of dual pairs of Hopf algebras and bialgebras. The noncommutative \(\kappa\)-Minkowski space is introduced that transforms in standard way under Poincaré transformations and conserves the additivity for pure translations. Finally, numerous solved and unsolved problems in this area of research are listed. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0856.00018].
