When considering geometry, one might think of working with lines and circles on a flat plane as in Euclidean geometry. However, doing geometry in other spaces is possible, as the existence of spherical and hyperbolic geometry demonstrates.…
We review the noncommutative approach to the standard model. We start with the introduction if the mathematical concepts necessary for the definition of noncommutative spaces, and manifold in particular. This defines the framework of…
The issue of the transformations of units is treated, mainly, in a geometrical context. It is shown that Weyl-integrable geometry is a consistent framework for the formulation of the gravitational laws since the basic law on which this…
We investigate the transformation from ordinary gauge field to noncommutative one which was introduced by N.Seiberg and E.Witten (hep-th/9908142). It is shown that the general transformation which is determined only by gauge equivalence has…
Sequences of actions do not commute.. For example, the tick of a clock and the measurement of a position do not commute with one another, since the position will have moved to the next position after the tick. We adopt non-commutative…
We introduce Hopf algebroid covariance on Woronowicz's differential calculus. Using it, we develop quite a general framework of noncommutative complex geometry that subsumes the one in [2]. We present transverse complex and K\"ahler…
The algebras of non-relativistic and of classical mechanics are unstable algebraic structures. Their deformation towards stable structures leads, respectively, to relativity and to quantum mechanics. Likewise, the combined relativistic…
A class of differential calculi is explored which is determined by a set of automorphisms of the underlying associative algebra. Several examples are presented. In particular, differential calculi on the quantum plane, the $h$-deformed…
These notes comprise the first of two articles devoted to the construction of exact solutions of noncommutative gauge theory in two spacetime dimensions. This first part deals solely with the classical theory on a noncommutative torus.…
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,…
We offer a perspective on some recent results obtained in the context of the group field theory approach to quantum gravity, on top of reviewing them briefly. These concern a natural mechanism for the emergence of non-commutative field…
Four formulations of quantum mechanics on noncommutative Moyal phase spaces are reviewed. These are the canonical, path-integral, Weyl-Wigner and systematic formulations. Although all these formulations represent quantum mechanics on a…
The essence of the method of physics is inseparably connected with the problem of interplay between local and global properties of the universe. In the present paper we discuss this interplay as it is present in three major departments of…
We give a pedagogical account of noncommutative gauge and gravity theories, where the exterior product between forms is deformed into a $\star$-product via an abelian twist (e.g. the Groenewold-Moyal twist). The Seiberg-Witten map between…
We develop a new framework for noncommutative differential geometry based on double derivations. This leads to the notion of moment map and of Hamiltonian reduction in noncommutative symplectic geometry. For any smooth associative algebra…
We discuss in some generality aspects of noncommutative differential geometry associated with reality conditions and with differential calculi. We then describe the differential calculus based on derivations as generalization of vector…
We examine the quantum symmetric and exterior algebras of finite-dimensional \uqg-modules first systematically studied by Berenstein and Zwicknagl, and resolve some questions that they raised. We show that the difference (in the…
We introduce a Hodge operator in a framework of noncommutative geometry. The complete integrability of 2-dimensional classical harmonic maps into groups (sigma-models or principal chiral models) is then extended to a class of…
First, we briefly review the description of gravity theories as gauge theories in three and four dimensions. Specifically, we recall the procedure in which the results of General Relativity in three and four dimensions are recovered in a…
It is shown that non-commutative spaces, which are quotients of associative algebras by ideals generated by non-linear relations of a particular type, admit extremely simple formulae for deformed or star products. Explicit construction of…
