Quantum Anti-de Sitter space and sphere at roots of unity
An algebra of functions on q-deformed Anti-de Sitter space AdS_q^D is defined
which is covariant under U_q(so(2,D-1)), for q a root of unity. The
star-structure is studied in detail. The scalar fields have an intrinsic
high-energy cutoff, and arise most naturally as fields on orbifolds AdS_q^D
\times S^D/G if D is odd, and AdS_q^D \times S_{\chi}^{2D-1}/G if D is even.
Here G is a finite abelian group, and S_{\chi} is a certain ``chiral sector''
of the classical sphere. Hilbert spaces of square integrable functions are
discussed. Analogous results are found for the q-deformed sphere S_q^D.Comment: 45 pages, LaTeX, 2 figures using epsf. Slight change in notation

Integration on quantum Euclidean space and sphere in dimensions
Invariant integrals of functions and forms over - deformed Euclidean
space and spheres in dimensions are defined and shown to be positive
definite, compatible with the star - structure and to satisfy a cyclic property
involving the - matrix of . The definition is more general than
the Gaussian integral known so far. Stokes theorem is proved with and without
spherical boundary terms, as well as on the sphere.Comment: 15 pages, Latex, citations and reference added, minor typos correcte
