Time-space noncommutativity leads to quantisation of time and energy nonconservation when time is conjugate to a compact spatial direction like a circle. In this context energy is conserved only modulo some fixed unit. Such a possibility…
All existing experimental results are currently interpreted using classical geometry. However, there are theoretical reasons to suspect that at a deeper level, geometry emerges as an approximate macroscopic behavior of a quantum system at…
We investigate the transformation laws of coordinates in generalizations of special relativity with two observer-independent scales. The request of covariance leads to simple formulas if one assumes noncanonical Poisson brackets,…
We investigate the effects of space noncommutativity and the generalized uncertainty principle on the stability of circular orbits of particles in both a central force potential and Schwarzschild spacetime. We find noncommutative form of…
Translational invariance requires that physical predictions are independent of the choice of spatial coordinate system used. The time dilatation effect of special relativity is shown to manifestly respect this invariance. Consideration of…
Nonrelativistic Newton and Schroedinger equations remain correct not only under holonomic but also under nonholonomic transformations of the spacetime coordinates. Here we study the properties of transformations which are holonomic in the…
Time at the Planck scale ($\sim 10^{-44}\,\mathrm{s}$) is an unexplored physical regime. It is widely believed that probing Planck time will remain for long an impossible task. Yet, we propose an experiment to test the discreteness of time…
In the process of work it has been found that space-time quantum fluctuations are naturally described in terms of the deformation parameter introduced on going from the well-known quantum mechanics to that at Planck scales and put forward…
In this talk we provide arguments on possible relation between the cosmological constant in our space and the non-commutativity parameter of the internal space of compactified string theory. The arguments are valid in the context of D3/D7…
We show the existence of a time-space noncommutativity (NC) for the physical system of a massive relativistic particle by exploiting the underlying symmetry properties of this system. The space-space NC is eliminated by the consideration of…
We investigate how deformations of special relativity in momentum space can be extended to position space in a consistent way, such that the dimensionless contraction between wave-vector and coordinate-vector remains invariant. By using a…
In recent years Quantum Superstrings and Quantum Gravity approaches have come to rely on non differenciable spacetime manifolds. These throw up a noncommutative spacetime geometry and we consider the origin of mass and a related…
A generalized form of 't Hooft-Nobbenhuis Complex space-time Transformation is applied on momentum space from which a new model of Deformed Special Relavity at Planck Scale is proposed. The model suggests an energy-dependent Planck's…
A field of random space-time events exhibiting complete spatial-temporal randomness appears statistically identical to all observers. Boost invariant lengths naturally emerge when we examine fluctuation scales of this field such as the…
Our conventional system of physical units is based on local or microscopic {\it dimensional} quantities which are {\it defined}, for convenience or otherwise aesthetic reasons, to be spacetime-independent. A more general choice of units may…
The rules of quantum mechanics require a time coordinate for their formulation. However, a notion of time is in general possible only when a classical spacetime geometry exists. Such a geometry is itself produced by classical matter…
We study the Hausdorff dimension of the path of a quantum particle in non-commutative space-time. We show that the Hausdorff dimension depends on the deformation parameter $a$ and the resolution $\Delta x$ for both non-relativistic and…
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 argue that dimensionality is not absolute, but that it depends on the scale of resolution, from the Planck to the macro scale.
We show that a particular noncommutative geometry, sometimes called angular or $\rho$-Minkowski, requires that the spectrum of time be discrete. In this noncommutative space the time variable is not commuting with the angular variable in…
