Deformed and extended Galilei group Hopf algebras

Abstract

The $\hatκ$-deformed extended Galilei Hopf group algebra, ${\rm Fun}_{\hatκ}(\tilde G_{(m)})$, is introduced. It provides an example of a cocycle bicrossproduct structure, and is shown to be the contraction limit of a pseudoextension of the $κ$-Poincaré group algebra. The possibility of obtaining another deformed extended Galilei groups is discussed, including one obtained from a non-standard Poincaré deformation.
