  • Abstract
    Following the construction of the κ-Minkowski space from the bicrossproduct structure of the κ-Poincare group, we investigate possible differential calculi on this noncommutative space. We discuss then the action of the Lorentz quantum algebra and prove that there are no 4D bicovariant differential calculi, which are Lorentz covariant. We show, however, that there exist a five-dimensional differential calculus, which satisfies both requirements. We study a toy example of 2D κ-Minkowski space and we briefly discuss the main properties of its differential calculi.
