Lorentz transformation on two-dimensional spacetime is obtained without assumption of linearity. To obtain this, we use the invariance of wave equations, which is recently proved to be equivalent to the causality preservation.
The $\kappa$-Minkoswki space-time provides a quantum noncommutative-deformation of the usual Minkowski space-time. However, a notion of causality is difficult to be defined in such a space with noncommutative time. In this paper, we define…
The emergence of the concept of a causal fermion system is revisited and further investigated for the vacuum Dirac equation in Minkowski space. After a brief recap of the Dirac equation and its solution space, in order to allow for the…
A space curve is determined by conformal arc-length, conformal curvature, and conformal torsion, up to M\"obius transformations. We use the spaces of osculating circles and spheres to give a conformally defined moving frame of a curve in…

Recent results on causality in noncommutative space-time are reviewed. We study, in particular, quantum causal structures in 1+1 dimensional kappa Minkowski space-time. This later is described by a twisted Lorentzian Spectral Triple build…
The Groups of causal and conformal automorphisms of globally hyperbolic spacetimes were studied. In two dimensions, we prove that all globally hyperbolic spacetimes that are directed and connected are causally isomorphic. We work out the…
If the bimodule of 1-forms of a differential calculus over an associative algebra is the direct sum of 1-dimensional bimodules, a relation with automorphisms of the algebra shows up. This happens for some familiar quantum space calculi.
We analyze properties of the Sp(2M) conformally invariant field equations in the recently proposed generalized $\half M(M+1)$-dimensional space-time $\M_M$ with matrix coordinates. It is shown that classical solutions of these field…
We show a general theorem of existence of temporal foliations in a general causal set, under mild constraints. Then we study automorphisms of infinite causal sets (which satisfy further requirements) and show that they fall under one of two…
