Abstract.

In this article we present explicit formulae for q-integration on quantum spaces which could be of particular importance in physics, i.e., q-deformed Minkowski space and q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions. Furthermore, our formulae can be regarded as a generalization of Jackson’s q-integral to three or four dimensions and provide a new possibility for an integration over the whole space being invariant under translations and rotations.
