The multidimensional gravity on the principal bundle with the SU(2) gauge group is considered. The numerical investigation of the spherically symmetric metrics with the center of symmetry is made. The solution of the gravitational equations…
We argue that space and space-time emerge as a consequence of dynamical collapse of the wave function of macroscopic objects. Locality and separability are properties of our approximate, emergent universe. At the fundamental level,…
We perform a deformation quantization of the classical isotropic rigid rotator. The resulting quantum system is not invariant under the usual $SU(2)\times SU(2)$ chiral symmetry, but instead $SU_{q^{-1}}(2) \times SU_q(2)$.
The space of states and operators for a large class of background independent theories of quantum spacetime dynamics is defined. The SU(2) spin networks of quantum general relativity are replaced by labelled compact two-dimensional…
A very simple field theory in noncommutative phase space X^{M},P^{M} in d+2 dimensions, with a gauge symmetry based on noncommutative u*(1,1), furnishes the foundation for the field theoretic formulation of Two-Time Physics. This leads to a…
In this article, matrix and vector formalisms for Lorentz transformations in time ($t$) and two space dimensions ($x$ and $y$) are developed and discussed. Lorentz transformations conserve the squared interval $t^2 - x^2 - y^2$. Examples of…
The hilbert-space structure of quantum mechanics is related to the causal structure of space-time. The usual measurement hypotheses apparently preclude nonlinear or stochastic quantum evolution. By admitting a difference in the calculus of…
(2+2)-dimensional quantum mechanical q-phase space which is the semi-direct product of the quantum plane E_q(2)/U(1) and its dual algebra e_q(2)/u(1) is constructed. Commutation and the resulting uncertainty relations are studied. ``Quantum…
It is demonstrated how a convenient choice of the mathematical structure of the quantum cosmology superspace, precisely the definition of a convenient regular state superspace and the restriction of the dynamics to this space, yields…
We relax the assumption of time translation and Lorentz boost symmetry in theories involving massless spin 2 gravitons, while maintaining a basic notion of locality that there is no instantaneous signaling at a distance. We project out…
The aim of this contribution is twofold. First, we show that when two (or more) different quantum groups share the same noncommutative spacetime, such an 'ambiguity' can be resolved by considering together their corresponding noncommutative…
It is argued that a noncommutative geometry of spacetime leads to a reconciliation of electromagnetism and gravitation while providing an underpinning to Weyl's geometry. It also leads to a cosmology consistent with observation. A few other…
A relation expressing the covariant transformation properties of a relativistic position operator is derived. This relation differs from the one existing in the literature expressing manifest covariance by some factor ordering. The relation…
We consider an SU(2)-lattice gauge model in the tree gauge. Classically, this is a system with symmetries whose configuration space is a direct product of copies of SU(2), acted upon by diagonal inner automorphisms. We derive defining…
Space-Time in general relativity is a dynamical entity because it is subject to the Einstein field equations. The space-time metric provides different geometrical structures: conformal, volume, projective and linear connection. A deep…
Position and momentum enter at the same level of importance in the formulation of classical or quantum mechanics. This is reflected in the invariance of Poisson brackets or quantum commutators under canonical transformations, which I regard…
The Maxwell equations are formulated on an arbitrary (1+3)-dimensional manifold. Then, imposing a (constrained) linear constitutive relation between electromagnetic field $(E,B)$ and excitation $({\cal D},{\cal H})$, we derive the metric of…
Eigenvectors of stress-energy tensor (the source in Einstein's equations) form privileged bases in description of the corresponding space-times. When one or more of these vector fields are rotating (the property well determined in…
The necessity of rejecting the numerical model of geometrical extension is postulated on the basis of the idea of identity of space-time and physical vacuum. An attempt is made to define space-time not via the concept of manifold, but via…
Hubble's correlation of red-shift with distance reveals that the universe is expanding, and that spacetime curvature has increased over time. And since time and space have equal status as dimensions, an object moving through time…
