A. Ballesteros et al., QUANTUM ALGEBRAS FOR MAXIMAL MOTION GROUPS OF N-DIMENSIONAL FLAT SPACES, letters in mathematical physics, 33(4), 1995, pp. 273-281
An embedding method to get q-deformations for the nonsemisimple algebr
as generating the motion groups of N-dimensional flat spaces is presen
ted. This method gives a global and simultaneous scheme of q-deformati
on for all iso(p,q) algebras and for those obtained from them by some
Inonu-Wigner contractions, such as the N-dimensional Euclidean, Poinca
re, and Galilei algebras.
