This lecture consists of two sections. In section 1 we consider the simplest version of a q-deformed Heisenberg algebra as an example of a noncommutative structure. We first derive a calculus entirely based on the algebra and then formulate laws of physics based on this calculus. Then we realize that an interpretation of these laws is only possible if we study representations of the algebra and adopt the quantum mechanical scheme. It turns out that observables like position or momentum have…

A q-deformed Lorentz algebra
We derive a q-deformed version of the Lorentz algebra by deforming the algebraSL(2,C). The method is based on linear representations of the algebra on the complex quantum spinor space. We find that…
On the deformability of Heisenberg algebras
Based on the vanishing of the second Hochschild cohomology group of the Weyl algebra it is shown that differential algebras coming from quantum groups do not provide a non-trivial deformation of…
Representations of aq-deformed Heisenberg algebra
We extend the symmetric operators of theq-deformed Heisenberg algebra to essentially self-adjoint operators. On the extended domains the product of the operators is not defined. To represent the…

Abstract. In the present paper we show that the Lorentz algebra $\cal L$ as defined in [5] is isomorphic to an algebra $\hat{\cal U}$ closely related to a q-deformed $SU_q(2) \otimes SU_q(2)$…
