Abstract

An embedding method to getq-deformations for the nonsemisimple algebras generating the motion groups ofN-dimensional flat spaces is presented. This method gives a global and simultaneous scheme ofq-deformation for all iso(p, q) algebras and for those obtained from them by some Inönü-Wigner contractions, such as theN-dimensional Euclidean, Poincaré, and Galilei algebras.
