Book cover: Introduction to Braided Geometry and q-Minkowski SpaceIntroduction to Braided Geometry and q-Minkowski Space
by - arXiv
Systematic introduction to the geometry of linear braided spaces. These are versions of Rn in which the coordinates xi have braid-statistics described by an R-matrix. From this starting point we survey the author's braided-approach to q-deformation.
