The main theorem of the paper claims non-existence of bicovariant differential calculi on standard quantizations of simple algebraic groups over the field \(k(q)\) where \(k\) is a field of characteristic zero and \(q\) is transcendental over \(k\). This is derived as a consequence of a theorem according to which the only finite-dimensional \(\Delta\)-invariant Ad-submodule \(T\) of \(U_q\mathfrak g\) contained in \(\text{ker} \varepsilon\) is \(T=0\). Apart from this the author studies left covariant differential calculi on a Hopf algebra \(A\) and shows that, under some natural conditions, they extend uniquely to higher-order differential calculi. In the final part of the paper the example of \(A=\text{Fun}(SL_q(2))\) is analyzed and the homologies of \(U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2))\) and the cohomologies of the de Rham complex are computed.
