Abstract
We construct the deformed Dirac monopoles on the quantum sphere by giving a global description for arbitrary integer charge n and alternatively by glueing trivial bundles for even n, and show that they are quantum principal bundles in the sense of Brzezinski and Majid. We also give connections and calculate the analog of Chern numbers by integrating the curvature over S q 2 . © 1996 Springer-Verlag.
