We discuss the conditions under which classically conformally invariant models in four dimensions can arise out of non-conformal (Einstein) gravity. As an `existence proof' that this is indeed possible we show how to derive N=4 super Yang…
We construct matter field theories in ``theory space'' that are fractal, and invariant under geometrical renormalization group (RG) transformations. We treat in detail complex scalars, and discuss issues related to fermions, chirality, and…
Quantum groups emerged in the latter quarter of the 20th century as, on the one hand, a deep and natural generalisation of symmetry groups for certain integrable systems, and on the other as part of a generalisation of geometry itself…
We introduce a matrix model for noncommutative gravity, based on the gauge group $U(2) \otimes U(2)$. The vierbein is encoded in a matrix $Y_{\mu}$, having values in the coset space $U(4)/ (U(2) \otimes U(2))$, while the spin connection is…
Gravity is commonly thought of as one of the four force fields in nature. However, in standard formulations its mathematical structure is rather different from the Yang-Mills fields of particle physics that govern the electromagnetic, weak,…
We study a class of geometries in which nonmetricity is fully determined by a vectorial degree of freedom and three independent coefficients. Formulating the simplest linear action in this geometry, implemented through Lagrange multipliers,…
We give a brief review of two nonperturbative phenomena typical of noncommutative field theory which are known to lead to the perturbative instability known as the UV-IR mixing. The first phenomena concerns the emergence/evaporation of…
A unified description of spacetime and matter is proposed by using a single irreducible representation of SO(10) Super-Poincare algebra(SO(10)SPA). All (observed) elementary particles except the graviton are the (massless) eigenstates of…
We describe a new type of gravity-matter models where gravity couples in a non-conventional way to two distinct scalar fields providing a unified Lagrangian action principle description of: (a) the evolution of both "early" and "late"…
We investigate a relation of the contravariant geometry to the emergent gravity from noncommutative gauge theories. We give a refined formulation of the contravariant gravity and provide solutions to the contravariant Einstein equation. We…
We consider a solution of a IKKT-type matrix model which can be considered as a 1+1-dimensional space-time with Minkowski signature and a Big Bounce-like singularity. A suitable $i\varepsilon$ regularization of the Lorentzian matrix…
The large-N reduced models have been proposed as the nonperturbative formulation of the superstring theory. One of the most promising candidates is the IIB matrix model. While there have been a lot of interesting discoveries of the IIB…
The fermionic gyromagnetic ratio g= 2 of the Kerr-Newman spacetime cannot be a computational "coincidence". This naturally immerges in a four dimensional generally covariant modified Yang-Mills action, which depends on the lorentzian…
The aim of this paper is to discuss a kinematical algebraic structure of a theory of gravity, that would be unitary, renormalizable and coupled in the same manner to both spinorial and tensorial matter fields. An analysis of the common…
We find broad classes of solutions to the field equations for d-dimensional gravity coupled to an antisymmetric tensor of arbitrary rank and a scalar field with non-vanishing potential. Our construction generates these configurations from…
In this paper, we present a non-geometrodynamic quantum Yang-Mills theory of gravity based on the homogeneous Lorentz group within the general framework of the Poincare gauge theories. The obstacles of this treatment are that first, on the…
We show that a post-Riemannian spacetime can accommodate an internal symmetry structure of the Yang-Mills prototype in such a way that the internal symmetry becomes an integral part of the spacetime itself. The construction encrusts the…
In this work we look for a geometric description of non-gravitational forces. The basic ideas are proposed studying the interaction between a punctual particle and an electromagnetic external field. For this purpose, we introduce the…
Matrix theory is a proposed non-perturbative definition of superstring theory in which space is emergent. Recently, it was shown that space-time can emerge with a scale-invariant spectrum of cosmological perturbations which is sourced by…
I describe several conceptual aspects of a particular paradigm which treats the field equations of gravity as emergent. These aspects are related to the features of classical gravitational theories which defy explanation within the…
