We develop further our fibre bundle construct of non-commutative space-time on a Minkowski base space. We assume space-time is non-commutative due to the existence of additional non-commutative algebraic structure at each point x of…
We discuss how the symmetries of $\kappa$-Minkowski non-commutative spacetime can be described by the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e Hopf algebra. In particular, we focus on a generalization of the Noether analysis in the $\kappa$-deformed framework…
It is generally believed that it is not possible to have a four dimensional differential calculus in $\kappa$-Minkowski spacetime, with $\kappa$-Poincar\'e relativistic symmetries, covariant under ($\kappa$-deformed) Lorentz…
We twist the Hopf algebra of igl(n,R) to obtain the kappa-deformed spacetime coordinates. Coproducts of the twisted Hopf algebras are explicitly given. The kappa-deformed spacetime obtained this way satisfies the same commutation relation…
We study the decomposition of the Hilbert space of quantum field theory in $(d+1)$ dimensional de Sitter spacetime into Unitary Irreducible Representations (UIRs) of its isometry group \SO$(1,d+1)$. Firstly, we consider multi-particle…
We show that the geometry of the asymptotic infinities of Minkowski spacetime (in $d+1$ dimensions) is captured by homogeneous spaces of the Poincar\'e group: the blow-ups of spatial (Spi) and timelike (Ti) infinities in the sense of…
A simple diffeomorphism invariant theory of connections with the non-compact structure group R of real numbers is quantized. The theory is defined on a four-dimensional 'space-time' by an action resembling closely the self-dual Plebanski…
We show that the $\kappa$-deformed Poincar\'e quantum algebra proposed for elementary particle physics has the structure of a Hopf agebra bicrossproduct $U(so(1,3))\cobicross T$. The algebra is a semidirect product of the classical Lorentz…
We discuss the construction of $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariant actions for gauge theories on $\kappa$-Minkowski spaces. We consider various classes of untwisted and (bi)twisted differential calculi. Starting from a natural class of…
It is well known in the literature that the momentum space associated to the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e algebra is described by the Lie group $\mathsf{A}\mathsf{N}(3)$. In this letter we show that the full $\kappa$-Poincar\'e Hopf algebra…
The well-known fact that classical automorphisms of (compactified) Minkowski spacetime (Poincare or conformal trandsformations) also allow a natural derivation/interpretation in the modular setting (in the operator-algebraic sense of Tomita…
We study massive and massless conical defects in Minkowski and de Sitter spaces in various spacetime dimensions. The energy-momentum of a defect, considered as an (extended) relativistic object, is completely characterized by the holonomy…
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…
We consider a conformally coupled scalar QFT on $2+1$ dimensional static Einstein universe $R \times S^2$, and write down the free theory Hilbert space. We explain that this theory is secretly a QFT in $2+1$ de Sitter space because all the…
Defining a new r-matrix compatible with the scalar product at the basis of the Chern-Simons action for a particle coupled to (2+1) Lorentzian gravity with cosmological constant, I show how deformed symmetries of $\kappa$-de Sitter and, in…
We study the phase space structure of the Jackiw-Teitelboim model in its connection variables formulation where the gauge group of the field theory is given by local SL(2,R) (or SU(2) for the Euclidean model), i.e. the de Sitter group in…
The positive and negative energy modes of a field theory in $\kappa$-Minkowski/$\kappa$-Poincar\'e noncommutative spacetime have very different symmetry properties. This can be understood geometrically by considering that they span two…
We shall outline two ways of introducing the modification of Einstein's relativistic symmetries of special relativity theory - the Poincar\'{e} symmetries. The most complete way of introducing the modifications is via the noncocommutative…
Recent results obtained in $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariant gauge theories on $\kappa$-Minkowski space are reviewed and commented. A Weyl quantization procedure can be applied to convolution algebras to derive a convenient star product. For…
