Abstract

We study N 2 - 1 dimensional left-covariant differential calculi on the quantum group S L q ( N ) . In this way we obtain four classes of differential calculi which are algebraically much simpler as the bicovariant calculi. The algebra generated by the left-invariant vector fields has only quadratic-linear relations and posesses a Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt basis. We use the concept of universal (higher order) differential calculus associated with a given left-covariant first order differential calculus. It turns out that the space of left-invariant k-forms has the dimension N 2 - 1 k as in the case of the corresponding classical Lie group SL(N).
