Abstract

We introduce a class of right $H$--covariant first--order differential calculi on principal comodule algebras generated by the Durdević braiding $σ$ and a chosen vertical ideal. Starting from the universal calculus, a strong connection, and a right $H$--colinear splitting map, we construct $σ$--generated differential calculi and prove their existence for arbitrary principal comodule algebras. We show that, in this framework, universal vertical maps and connection $1$--forms descend naturally to the quotient calculus under suitable compatibility conditions. We further develop a functorial formulation of $σ$--generated calculi and establish a universal factorization property for the associated quotient calculi. Finally, we present explicit examples arising from quantum projective spaces and quantum lens spaces.
