Abstract:
We wish to report here on a recent approach to the non-commutative calculus on qq-Minkowski space which is based on the reflection equations with no spectral parameter. These are considered as the expression of the invariance (under the coaction of the qq-Lorentz group) of the commutation properties which define the different qq-Minkowski algebras. This approach also allows us to discuss the possible ambiguities in the definition of qq-Minkowski space Mq{\cal M}_q and its differential calculus. The commutation relations among the generators of Mq{\cal M}_q (coordinates), Dq{\cal D}_q (derivatives), Λq\Lambda_q (one-forms) and a few invariant (scalar) operators are established and compared with earlier results.
