Arvanitoyeorgos, Andreas; Ellinas, Demosthenes Homogeneous spaces: From the classical to the quantum case. (English) Zbl 0952.16027 Szenthe, J. (ed.), New developments in differential geometry, Budapest 1996. Proceedings of the conference, Budapest, Hungary, July 27-30, 1996. Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers. 39-51 (1999). The authors formulate the classical theory of homogeneous spaces of Lie groups in terms of algebras of functions on manifolds. This formulation is then extended to noncommutative algebras and Hopf algebras to define the notion of a quantum homogeneous space. The construction is illustrated by the quantum group \(\text{SU}_q(2)\) and the full family of quantum spheres of Podleś. The approach and the examples presented coincide with the ones of M. S. Dijkhuizen and T. H. Koornwinder [Geom. Dedicata 52, No. 3, 291-315 (1994; Zbl 0818.17017)] and T. Brzeziński [J. Math. Phys. 37, No. 5, 2388-2399 (1996; Zbl 0878.17011)].For the entire collection see [Zbl 0903.00045].
