Abstract

The quantum GrassmanianG(2|0; ℂ 4|0 q ) of “quantum 2-planes ℂ 2|0 q in the quantum 4-plane ℂ 4|0 q ”, which provides aq-deformation of compactified complexified Minkowski space, is proposed. A quantum analogue of classical Plücker embedding of the usual GrassmanianG(2; ℂ2) into a non-degenerate quadric in ℂℙ5 is found.
