This is one of a number of papers in which the metric for space-time is defined on the subatomic level by means of the interchange of photons, and constrained to be consistent with radar. It is shown that the discrete nature of particle…
Superspace is considered as space of parameters of the supercoherent states defining the basis for oscillator-like unitary irreducible representations of the generalized superconformal group SU(2m,2n/2N) in the field of quaternions H. The…
A reflexive relation on a set can be a starting point in defining the causal structure of a spacetime in General Relativity and other relativistic theories of gravity. If we identify this relation as the relation between lightlike separated…
We show that the cosmological constant appears as a Lagrange multiplier if nature is described by a canonical noncommutative spacetime. It is thus an arbitrary parameter unrelated to the action and thus to vacuum fluctuations. The…
The unitary operators U(t), describing the quantum time evolution of systems with a time-dependent Hamiltonian, can be constructed in an explicit manner using the method of time-dependent invariants. We clarify the role of Lie-algebraic…
Relational particle dynamics include the dynamics of pure shape and cases in which absolute scale or absolute rotation are additionally meaningful. These are interesting as regards the absolute versus relative motion debate as well as…
By collecting both quantum and gravitational principles, a space-time uncertainty relation $(\delta t)(\delta r)^{3}\geqslant\pi r^{2}l_{p}^{2}$ is derived. It can be used to facilitate the discussion of several profound questions, such as…
There are theories which implement the idea that the constants of nature may be "time dependent." These introduce new fields representing "evolving constants," in addition to physical fields. We argue that dynamical matter coupling…
We describe the relation between vectors and spinors in complex spacetime in an unconventional chirally asymmetric manner, using purely right-handed spinors, with Minkowski spacetime getting Wick rotated to a four-dimensional Euclidean…
We construct, in classical two-time physics, the necessary structure for the most general configuration space formulation of quantum mechanics containing gravity in d+2 dimensions. This structure is composed of a symmetric Riemannian metric…
A deformation of special relativistic kinematics (possible signal of a theory of quantum gravity at low energies) leads to a modification of the notion of spacetime. At the classical level, this modification is required when one considers a…
Rotation symmetry is less constraining than space-time symmetry. The free electron propagator is a projection operator that we show can be constructed from rotation symmetric projection operators. Rotation-based identifications of time,…
We describe the time evolution of quantum systems in a classical background space-time by means of a covariant derivative in an infinite dimensional vector bundle. The corresponding parallel transport operator along a timelike curve $\cC$…
We present a useful method for the construction of cosmological models by solving the differential equations arising from calculating the kinematical invariants (shear, rotation, expansion and acceleration) of an observer field in proper…
Starting from N=1 scalar supermultiplets in 2+1 dimensions, we build explicitly the composite superpartners which define a N=2 superalgebra induced by the initial N=1 supersymmetry. The occurrence of this extension is linked to the…
This paper is a sequel in which we further analyze the recently derived quantum gravity equations which apply in accelerating cosmological spacetimes and whose solutions should be equivalent to all order re-summations of the perturbative…
We derive a closed-form expression of the orbit of Minkowski spacetime under arbitrary Diff$(S^2)$ super-Lorentz transformations and supertranslations. Such vacua are labelled by the superboost, superrotation and supertranslation fields.…
Supersymmetric quantum mechanics is formulated on a two dimensional noncommutative plane and applied to the supersymmetric harmonic oscillator. We find that the ordinary commutative supersymmetry is partially broken and only half of the…
The relative geodesic motion on $(1+3)$-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetimes is studied in terms of conserved quantities by adapting the Nachtmann boosting method created initially for the de Sitter spacetimes. In this approach the…
We describe how a model of effective interactions between quantum fluctuations under certain assumptions can be constructed in a way so that the large-scale limit gives an effective theory that matches general relativity in vacuum regions.…
