Recently, it was shown that the quantum effects of the matter, could be used to determine the conformal degree of freedom of the space-time metric. So both gravity and quantum are geometrical features. Gravity determines the causal…
In this paper we study a collection of jet geometrical concepts, we refer to d-tensors, relativistic time dependent semisprays, harmonic curves and nonlinear connections on the 1-jet space J1(R;M), necessary to the construction of a…
We survey some philosophical aspects of the search for a quantum theory of gravity, emphasising how quantum gravity throws into doubt the treatment of spacetime common to the two `ingredient theories' (quantum theory and general…
A quantitative description of the qualitative feature of multi-hadron final states known as the "number of jets" is given by a sequence of infrared finite shape observables (jet discriminators) that: take continuous values between 0 and 1;…
This is an attempt to create a consistent and non-trivial extension of quantum theory, describing in detail the quantum measurement process. A tentative but concrete model is presented, based on the concept of multiple…
The recently introduced manifestly covariant canonical quantization scheme is applied to gravity. New diffeomorphism anomalies generating a multi-dimensional generalization of the Virasoro algebra arise. This does not contradict theorems…
In this paper we consider Hamiltonian systems on the quantum plane and we show that the set of Q-meromorphic Hamiltonians is a Virasoro algebra with central charge zero and the set of Hamiltonian derivations of the algebra of $Q$-analytic…
We discuss quantum-field-theoretic interpretation of the family of observables (the so-called C-algebra) introduced in [ F.V.Tkachov: Preprint FERMILAB-PUB-95/191-T] for a systematic description of multijet structure of multiparticle final…
We present a simple dynamical systems model for the effect of invisible space dimensions on the visible ones. There are three premises. A: Orbits consist of flows of probabilities [P].which is the case in the setting of quantum mechanics.…
Some superstring theories have more than one effective low-energy limit, corresponding to classical spacetimes with different dimensionalities. We argue that all but the 3+1-dimensional one might correspond to ``dead worlds'', devoid of…
We give a brief review of recent developments in five-dimensional theories of spacetime and highlight their geometrical structure mainly in connection with the Campbell-Magaard theorem.
We discuss possible observational manifestations of static, spherically symmetric solutions of a class of multidimensional theories of gravity, which includes the low energy limits of supergravities and superstring theories as special…
When four-dimensional general relativity is embedded in an unconstrained man-ner in a fifth dimension, the physical quantities of spacetime can be interpreted as geometrical properties related to the extra dimension. It has become…
We show that the anomalies of the Virasoro algebra are due to the asymmetric behavior of raising and lowering operators with respect to the ground state of the string. With the adoption of a symmetric vacuum we obtain a non-anomalous theory…
The role of symmetries in formation of quantum dynamics is discussed. A quantum version of the d'Alambert's principle is proposed to take into account symmetry constrains for quantum case. It is noted that in this approach one can find, in…
We consider the equivalence problem for cosmological models in four-dimensional gravity theories. A cosmological model is considered as a triple $(M, {\bf g},{\bf u})$ consisting of a spacetime $(M, {\bf g})$ and a preferred normalized…
This paper proposes a method of unifying quantum mechanics and gravity based on quantum computation. In this theory, fundamental processes are described in terms of pairwise interactions between quantum degrees of freedom. The geometry of…
The quantum theory of ur objects postulates that all existing physical objects and their properties are constructed from fundamental objects called ur objects being described by an element of a two dimensional complex Hilbert space. This…
A quantum theory of the universe consists of a theory of its quantum dynamics and a theory of its quantum state The theory predicts quantum multiverses in the form of decoherent sets of alternative histories describing the evolution of the…
A class of diffeomorphism invariant, physical observables, so-called astrometric observables, is introduced. A particularly simple example, the time delay, which expresses the difference between two initially synchronized proper time clocks…
