General Relativity on Random Operators
Abstract
We present a mathematical structure which unifies mathematical structures of general relativity and quantum mechanics. It consists of the noncommutative algebra of compactly supported, complex valued functions , with convolution as multiplication, on a groupoid the base of which is the total space of the frame bundle over space-time . A differential geometry based on derivations of suitably generalizes the standard differential geometry of space-time, and the algebra , when represented in a bundle of Hilbert spaces, defines a von Neumann algebra of random operators that generalizes the usual quantum mechanics. The main result of the present paper is that there exists a space , dense in , that is isomorphic with the algebra . This isomorphism allows us to transfer all differentially geometric constructions, generalized Einstein's equations including, made with the help of (and its derivations) to the space . In this way, we obtain a generalization of general relativity in terms of random operators on a bundle of Hilbert spaces. However, this generalization cannot be extended to the whole of , and this is the main mathematical obstacle, at least in this approach, to fully unify theory of gravity with physics of quanta.
