Algebraic Foundations of Non-Commutative Differential Geometry and Quantum Groups ISBN: 9783540478010 Platform/Publisher: SpringerLink / Springer Berlin Heidelberg Digital rights:Users: unlimited; Printing: unlimited; Download: unlimited Subjects: Physics and Astronomy;
Quantum groups and quantum algebras as well as non-commutative differential geometry are important in mathematics and considered to be useful tools for model building in statistical and quantum physics. This book, addressing scientists and postgraduates, contains a detailed and rather complete presentation of the algebraic framework. Introductory chapters deal with background material such as Lie and Hopf superalgebras, Lie super-bialgebras, or formal power series. Great care was taken to present a reliable collection of formulae and to unify the notation, making this volume a useful work of reference for mathematicians and mathematical physicists.
