Abstract

We describe in detail two-parameter nonstandard quantum deformation of D=4 Lorentz algebra o(3,1), linked with Jordanian deformation of sl (2;C). Using twist quantization technique we obtain the explicit formulae for the deformed coproducts and antipodes. Further extending the considered deformation to the D=4 Poincaré algebra we obtain a new Hopf-algebraic deformation of four-dimensional relativistic symmetries with dimensionless deformation parameter. Finally, we interpret o(3,1) as the D=3 de-Sitter algebra and calculate the contraction limit R∞ (R -- de-Sitter radius) providing explicit Hopf algebra structure for the quantum deformation of the D=3 Poincaré algebra (with masslike deformation parameters), which is the two-parameter light-cone κ-deformation of the D=3 Poincaré symmetry.
