I give a summary review of the research program using noncommutative geometry as a framework to determine the structure of space-time. Classification of finite noncommutative spaces under few assumptions reveals why nature chose the…
The idea of this contribution is to suggest a way to get rid of gravity as a dynamical space time approximately in cosmology and thus be able to use Hamiltonian formulation ignoring the gravitational degrees of freedom, treating them just…
In this talk, we review the basics concepts of fuzzy physics and quantum field theory on the Groenwald-Moyal Plane as examples of noncommutative spaces in physics. We introduce the basic ideas, and discuss some important results in these…
This survey is based on lectures given by the authors during the program "Noncommutative algebraic geometry and representation theory" at the MSRI, Berkeley, in the spring of 2013. It covers the recent work of the authors on noncommutative…
These notes provide an introduction to the noncommutative matrix geometry which arises within matrix models of Yang-Mills type. Starting from basic examples of compact fuzzy spaces, a general notion of embedded noncommutative spaces…
To simplify a number of considerations in the weak field approximation, including the determination of the response of interferometric gravitational wave detectors, the "transverse traceless" (TT) gauge is often used. While the…
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…
Consider the quasi-commutative approximation to a noncommutative geometry. It is shown that there is a natural map from the resulting Poisson structure to the Riemann curvature of a metric. This map is applied to the study of high-frequency…
The original ideas about noncommuting coordinates are recalled. The connection between U(1) gauge fields defined on noncommuting coordinates and fluid mechanics is explained.
We present a brief historical introduction to the motivations behind quantum mechanics and quantum field theory on noncommutative spacetime and provide an insightful technique, readily accessible to the undergraduate student, to examine the…
Some time ago we presented an article (which was in fact the outline of a research programme) in which we argued for the need to develop a nonommutative version of topological quantum field theories (NCTQFT for short). Recent work by C.J.…
We show that a non-commutative structure arises naturally from perturbative quantum gravity in a de Sitter background metric. Our work builds on recent advances in the construction of observables in highly symmetric background spacetimes…
We study the effect of noncommutative spacetime geometry on one-loop corrections to the primordial curvature two-point function, arising from various forms of massless spectator matter fields interacting gravitationally with the inflaton.…
We discuss the noncommutative generalizations of polynomial algebras which after appropriate completions can be used as coordinate algebras in various noncommutative settings, (noncommutative differential geometry, noncommutative algebraic…
We consider noncommutative geometries obtained from a triangular Drinfeld twist. This allows to construct and study a wide class of noncommutative manifolds and their deformed Lie algebras of infinitesimal diffeomorphisms. This way symmetry…
Commuting and noncommuting space-time coordinates in a class of deformed special relativity theories are investigated. Their momentum space representation, transformation behaviour, space-time algebra, invariants and the corresponding field…
We study the effect of noncommutativity of space on the physics of a quantum interferometer located in a rotating disk in a gauge field background. To this end, we develop a path-integral approach which allows defining an effective action…
In the last years noncommutative quantum mechanics has been investigated intensively. We consider the influence of magnetic field on decoherence of a system in the noncommutative quantum plane. Particularly, we point out a model in which…
For almost twenty years, a search for a Lorentzian version of the well-known Connes' distance formula has been undertaken. Several authors have contributed to this search, providing important milestones, and the time has now come to put…
Noncommutative space has been found to be of use in a number of different contexts. In particular, one may use noncommutative spacetime to generate quantised gravity theories. Via an identification between the Moyal $\star$-product on…
