By applying loop quantum gravity techniques to 3D gravity with a positive cosmological constant $\Lambda$, we show how the local gauge symmetry of the theory, encoded in the constraint algebra, acquires the quantum group structure of…
The FRT quantum Euclidean spaces $O_q^N$ are formulated in terms of Cartesian generators. The quantum analogs of N-dimensional Cayley-Klein spaces are obtained by contractions and analytical continuations. Noncommutative constant curvature…
We discuss the construction of a free scalar quantum field theory on $\kappa$-Minkowski noncommutative spacetime. We do so in terms of $\kappa$-Poincar\'e-invariant $N$-point functions, i.e. multilocal functions which respect the deformed…
We exploit the reparametrization symmetry of a relativistic free particle to impose a gauge condition which upon quantization implies space-time noncommutativity. We show that there is an algebraic map from this gauge back to the standard…
One presents a phase-space noncommutative extension of Quantum Cosmology in the context of a Kantowski-Sachs (KS) minisuperspace model. We obtain the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation for the noncommutative system through the ADM formalism and…
We propose new noncommutative models of quantum phase spaces, containing a pair of $\kappa$-deformed Poincar\'e algebras, with two independent double ($\kappa,\tilde{\kappa}$)-deformations in space-time and four-momenta sectors. The first…
We present two different quantum deformations for the (anti)de Sitter algebras and groups. The former is a non-standard (triangular) deformation of SO(4,2) realized as the conformal group of the (3+1)D Minkowskian spacetime, while the…
We consider the noncommutative space-times with Lie-algebraic noncommutativity (e.g. $\kappa$-deformed Minkowski space). In the framework with classical fields we extend the $\star$-product in order to represent the noncommutative…
The fact that in Minkowski space, space and time are both quantized does not have to be introduced as a new postulate in physics, but can actually be derived by combining certain features of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. This is…
Several other factors, besides the intrinsic local geometry, contribute to give a meaning to a space-time model. The simplest example comes from comparing Minkowski's and Milne's model, that both have a null Riemann tensor. We add to these…
In this Letter we have proposed a point particle model that generates a noncommutative three-space, with the coordinate brackets being Lie algebraic in nature, in particular isomorphic to the angular momentum algebra. The work is in the…
A velocity of a point particle in the kappa-Minkowski spacetime is investigated. Characteristic points of the spacetime are that the Poincare group becomes a quantum group with kappa, which is a mass dimension parameter, and is a kind of…
We study boost and space-rotation transformations in kappa-Minkowski noncommutative spacetime, using the techniques that some of us had previously developed (hep-th/0607221) for a description of translations in kappa-Minkowski, which in…
Proposals that quantum gravity gives rise to non-commutative spacetime geometry and deformations of Poincare symmetry are examined in the context of (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity. The results are expressed in five lessons, which…
$\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariant gauge theories on $\kappa$-Minkowski space-time, which are noncommutative analogs of the usual $U(1)$ gauge theory, exist only in five dimensions. These are built from noncommutative twisted connections on a…
We consider a semi-classical approximation to the dynamics of a point particle in a noncommutative space. In this approximation, the noncommutativity of space coordinates is described by a Poisson bracket. For linear Poisson brackets, the…
We investigate a particle velocity in the $\kappa$-Minkowski space-time, which is one of the realization of a noncommutative space-time. We emphasize that arrival time analyses by high-energy $\gamma$-rays or neutrinos, which have been…
In this paper we study quantum group deformations of the infinite dimensional symmetry algebra of asymptotically AdS spacetimes in three dimensions. Building on previous results in the finite dimensional subalgebras we classify all possible…
For a noncommutative configuration space whose coordinate algebra is the universal enveloping algebra of a finite dimensional Lie algebra, it is known how to introduce an extension playing the role of the corresponding noncommutative phase…
It seems to be a common belief that the space in which we live is a space-time manifold of dimension at least four. In the present article we wish to draw attention to a slightly different possibility - a space-time pseudomanifold (or even…
