Bicovariant calculus on twisted ISO(N), quantum Poincare group and quantum Minkowski space

A bicovariant calculus on the twisted inhomogeneous multiparametric q groups of the Bn, Cn, Dn types, and on the corresponding quantum planes, is found by means of a projection from the bicovariant calculus on Bn+1, Cn+1, Dn+1. In particular we obtain the bicovariant calculus on a dilatation-free q Poincare group ISOq(3, 1), and on the corresponding quantum Minkowski space. The classical limit of the Bn, Cn, Dn bicovariant calculus is discussed in detail.
