Abstract

Three-dimensional differential calculus on quantum spheres S sup2infμc ,μ∈]−1, 1[∖{0}, c∈[0, ∞], is introduced and investigated. Spectra of generalized Laplacians are found. These operators are expressed by generalized directional derivatives. Classical limits of these objects are obtained and a simple approach to quantum mechanics on a quantum sphere is presented.
