The quantum 2-dimensional Poincare group from quantum group contraction
arXiv:hep-th/9404007 · doi:10.1063/1.531137
Abstract
A new derivation of the quantum deformation of the 2 dimensional Euclidean Poincare group (cf S. Zakrzewski) is proposed. It is based on a contraction of the Hopf algebra Fun(SO_q(3)). The deformation parameter q is sent to one, as in the construction of the -Poincare deformed algebra. The quantum group obtained is dual to that algebra.
