Description

A new derivation of the algebra of functions on the two-dimensional Euclidean Poincare group is proposed. It is based on a contraction of the Hopf algebra Fun(SOq(3)), where the deformation parameter q is sent to one. In this geometric construction, the action of Fun(SOq(3)) on the noncommutative Euclidean space is a key ingredient
