Geometries of orthogonal groups and their contractions: a unified classical deformation viewpoint
The geometries of spaces having as groups the real orthogonal groups and some
of their contractions are described from a common point of view. Their central
extensions and Casimirs are explicitly given. An approach to the trigonometry
of their spaces is also advanced.Comment: 9 pages, LaTeX; contribution presented by M.Santander to the II
International Workshop on Classical and Quantum Integrible Systems (Dubna,
