| dc.description | We show that every Lie algebra or superLie algebra has a canonical braiding on it, and that in terms of this its enveloping algebra appears as a flat space with braided-commuting coordinate functions. This also gives a new point of view about $q$-Minkowski space which arises in a similar way as the enveloping algebra of the braided Lie algebra $gl_{2,q}$. Our point of view fixes the signature of the metric on $q$-Minkowski space and hence also of ordinary Minkowski space at $q=1$. We also describe an abstract construction for left-invariant integration on any braided group. | |
