Poisson structures of the Poincar\'e group can be linked to deformations of the Minkowski space-time, classified some time ago by Zakrewski. Based on this classification, various quantum Minkowski space-times with coordinates Lie algebras…
The conventional role of spacetime geometry in the description of gravity is pointed out. Global Poincar$\acute{\mbox{e}}$ symmetry as an inner symmetry of field theories defined on a fixed Minkowski spacetime is discussed. Its extension to…
Super Poincare algebra in D = 6 space-time dimensions has been analysed in terms of quaternion analyticity of Lorentz group. Starting the connection of quaternion Lorentz group with SO(1; 5) group, the SL(2;H) spinors for Dirac & Weyl…
This paper is the second part of a series that develops the mathematical framework necessary for studying field theories on ``T-Minkowski'' noncommutative spacetimes. These spacetimes constitute a class of noncommutative geometries,…
It is noted that the single-variable Heisenberg commutation relation contains the symmetry of the $Sp(2)$ group which is isomorphic to the Lorentz group applicable to one time-like dimension and two space-like dimensions, known as the…
Understanding the nature of time remains a key unsolved problem in science. Newton in the Principia asserted an absolute universal time that {\it `flows equably'}. Hamilton then proposed a mathematical unification of space and time within…
A fully Poincare' covariant model is constructed out of the k-Minkowski spacetime. Covariance is implemented by a unitary representation of the Poincare' group, and thus complies with the original Wigner approach to quantum symmetries. This…
The advent of general relativity settled it once and for all that a theory of spacetime is inextricably linked to the theory of gravity. From the point of view of the gauge principle of Weyl and Yang-Mills-Utiyama, it became manifest around…
A spacetime interpretation of deformed relativity symmetry groups was recently proposed by resorting to Finslerian geometries, seen as the outcome of a continuous limit endowed with first order corrections from the quantum gravity regime.…
A new proposal for the notion of spacetime in a relativistic generalization of special relativity based on a modification of the composition law of momenta is presented. Locality of interactions is the principle which defines the spacetime…
This paper gives a representation of the most general positive operator valued measure in Minkowski space-time, covariant with respect to the Poincare' group. It provides the correct mathematical description of the space-time coordinates of…
The unitary representations of the Poincare group of a discrete space-time are constructed, following the Wigner method in continuum relativity. They can be interpreted as elementary particles with one significant new feature: the momentum…
The Poincar\'e group can be interpreted as the group of isometries of a minkowskian space. This point of view suggests to consider the group of isometries of a given space as the suitable group to construct a gauge theory of gravity. We…
In 1908, Minkowski put forward the idea that invariance under what we call today the Lorentz group, $GL(1,3, {\bf R})$, would be more meaningful in a four-dimensional space-time continuum. This suggestion implies that space and time are…
In analogy to the harmonic analysis for the Poincar\'e group with its irreducible representations characterizing free particles, the harmonic analysis for a nonlinear spacetime model as homogenous space of the extended Lorentz group GL(C^2)…
In the present paper we construct deformations of the Poincar\'e algebra as representations on a noncommutative spacetime with canonical commutation relations. These deformations are obtained by solving a set of conditions by an appropriate…
As quotient spaces, Minkowski and de Sitter are fundamental spacetimes in the sense that they are known "a priori", independently of Einstein equation. They represent different non-gravitational backgrounds for the construction of physical…
It is proposed four dimensional curved space-time with de-Sitter group of motion. Theory contain free dimension constants of length, impulse and action. Under infinite values of these parameters theory pass to usual Minkowski space-time…
Galilei-Newton spacetime $\mathbb{G}$ with its Galilei group can be understood as a `degeneration' as $c \rightarrow \infty$ of Minkowski spacetime $\mathbb{M}$ with its Poincar\'e group. $\mathbb{G}$ does not have a spacetime metric and…
We show how to get a non-commutative product for functions on space-time starting from the deformation of the coproduct of the Poincare' group using the Drinfel'd twist. Thus it is easy to see that the commutative algebra of functions on…
