Applications to quantum gravity from C*-bundles

Applications to quantum gravity of some results in C*-algebras are developed. We open by describing why algebra may be an integral aspect of quantum gravity. By interpreting the inner automorphisms of a C*-algebra as families of parallel transports on a C*-bundle, we define a notion of generalised connection for C*-bundles, implying that C*-bundle dynamical systems can be used to study a Dirac operator's spectrum and also the generator of the modular group. The fact that their dynamics preserves the bundle structure, means that C*-bundle dynamical systems are relativistic systems. We describe a 2-category to unify Einstein's two uses of the phrase general covariance, give concrete examples and construct a generally covariant quantum system. Motivations include the point of view of virtual points hiding in fibres of a C*-bundle over $X$ and that physical geometry is instrinsically non-local.
