Abstract

We describe four types of inner involutions of the Cartan-Weyl basis providing (for and real) three types of real quantum Lie algebras: (quantum D=4 anti-de-Sitter), (quantum D=4 de-Sitter) and . We give also two types of inner involutions of the Cartan-Chevalley basis of which can not be extended to inner involutions of the Cartan-Weyl basis. We outline twelve contraction schemes for quantum D=4 anti-de-Sitter algebra. All these contractions provide four commuting translation generators, but only two (one for , second for real) lead to the quantum \po algebra with an undeformed space rotations O(3) subalgebra.
