We define an embedding of the space of complex momenta and masses in perturbation theory into a universal projective space. This embedding is natural in the sense of properties of the vector bundle defined by Feynman integrals on the…
Dixon's multipoles for a system of N relativistic positive-energy scalar particles are evaluated in the rest-frame instant form of dynamics. The Wigner hyperplanes (intrinsic rest frame of the isolated system) turn out to be the natural…
We treat the events determined by a quantum physical state in a noncommutative space-time, generalizing the analogous treatment in the usual Minkowski space-time based on positive-operator-valued measures (POVMs). We consider in detail the…
We derive a scalar field theory of the deformed special relativity type, living on non-commutative kappa-Minkowski spacetime and with a kappa-deformed Poincare symmetry, from the SO(4,1) group field theory defining the transition amplitudes…
To incorporate quantum nonlocality into general relativity, we propose that the preparation and measurement of a quantum system are simultaneous events. To make progress in realizing this proposal, we introduce a spacetime geometry that is…
We study the phase space structure and the quantization of a pointlike particle in 2+1 dimensional gravity. By adding boundary terms to the first order Einstein Hilbert action, and removing all redundant gauge degrees of freedom, we arrive…
The properties of the equation of Dirac type in three-dimensional and five-dimensional Minkowski space-time with respect to time reflection (in sense of Pauli and Wigner) as well as to the operation of charge conjugation are investigated.…
We argue that the notion of identical particles is no longer well defined in quantum systems governed by non-commutative deformations of space-time symmetries. Such models are characterized by four-momentum space given by a non-abelian Lie…
A new, very different physical model of the universe is proposed. Its virtues include unifying relativity and quantum mechanics, and particles with de Broglie waves. It also appears to provide a truly unified physical basis for…
'Internal spacetime' is a modification of general relativity that was recently introduced as an approximate spacetime geometric model of quantum nonlocality. In an internal spacetime, time is stationary along the worldlines of fundamental…
Space-time is one of the most essential, yet most mysterious concepts in physics. In quantum mechanics it is common to understand time as a marker of instances of evolution and define states around all the space but at one time; while in…
Polaritons are the collective excitations of many atoms dressed by resonant photons, which can be used to explain the slow light propagation with the mechanism of electromagnetically induced transparency. As quasi-particles, these…
A semantic adjustment to what physicists mean by the terms `special relativity' and `general relativity' is suggested, which prompts a conceptual shift to a more unified perspective on physics governed by the Poincar\'e group and physics…
We present a new set of massless Poincar\'e group operators Hermitian with respect to the $ 1 / r $ inner product space, which have quasi-plane wave energy-momentum eigenfunctions having velocity $ c $ along their axis of propagation. These…
Time crystals are a phase of matter, for which the discrete time symmetry of the driving Hamiltonian is spontaneously broken. The breaking of discrete time symmetry has been observed in several experiments in driven spin systems. Here, we…
For an ordinary thermodynamical system the Poincar\'{e} recurrence time is exponentially large in the Boltzmann entropy of the system. It turns out, that for a system with dynamical chaos it is determined by the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy and…
A modified version of the bilocal particle is presented in terms of complex space time. Unusual constraint structure of the model is studied, and a new concept of the physical equivalence is proposed in accordance with Dirac's conjecture.…
Quantum systems can show qualitatively new forms of behavior when they are driven by fast time-periodic modulations. In the limit of large driving frequency, the long-time dynamics of such systems can often be described by a…
We consider a solution of a IKKT-type matrix model which can be considered as a 1+1-dimensional space-time with Minkowski signature and a Big Bounce-like singularity. A suitable $i\varepsilon$ regularization of the Lorentzian matrix…
Any quantum theory of gravity which treats the gravitational constant as a dynamical variable has to address the issue of superpositions of states corresponding to different eigenvalues. We show how the unobservability of such…
