Nonlocal gravity has been shown to provide a phenomenologically viable infrared modification of GR. A natural question is whether the required nonlocality can emerge from perturbative quantum loop corrections due to light particles. We show…
We investigate the effect of the noncommutative geometry on the classical orbits of particles in a central force potential. The relation is implemented through the modified commutation relations $[x_i, x_j]=i \theta_{ij} $. Comparison with…
The noncommutativity concept has wide range of applications in physical and mathematical theories. Noncommutativity in the position-time coordinates concerns the microscale structure of space-time. the noncommutativity is an intrinsic…
The relational framework of canonical quantum gravity with non-ultralocal constraints is explored. After demonstrating the absence of anomalies, a spatially discretized version of the relational framework is introduced. This allows the…
We feel that non-commutative geometry is to particle physics what Riemannian geometry is to gravity. We try to explain this feeling.
Recently the PVLAS collaboration has reported the observation of rotation of polarization of light propagating in a background magnetic field. In this letter we explore the possibility that such a rotation is a result of noncommutativity in…
We propose a mathematical structure, based on a noncommutative geometry, which combines essential aspects of general relativity and quantum mechanics, and leads to correct "limiting cases" of both these theories. We quantize a groupoid…
Nonlinear modifications of quantum theory are considered potential candidates for the theory of quantum gravity, with the intuitive argument that since Einstein field equations are nonlinear, quantum gravity should be nonlinear as well.…

Application of the noncommutative geometry to several physical models is considered.
This talk is an introduction to ideas of non-commutative geometry and star products. We will discuss consequences for physics in two different settings: quantum field theories and astrophysics. In case of quantum field theory, we will…
The conflict between the locality of general relativity, reflected in its space-time description, and the non-locality of quantum mechanics, contained in its Hilbert space description, is discussed. Gauge covariant non-local observables…
We propose an approach which, by combining insights from Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), Topos theory, Non-commutative Geometry \`a la Connes, and spacetime relationalism, provides fertile ground for the search of an adequate spacetime picture…
We construct a theory of particles moving in curved both momentum space and spacetime, being a generalization of Relative Locality. We find that in order to construct such theory, with desired symmetries, including the general coordinate…
In this paper we endeavour to find a connection between the non-commutative nature of space time and the {\it zero point field}. We observe that extra effects come into play when we take into account the Compton scale effects in such a…
An intersection of Noncommutative Geometry and Loop Quantum Gravity is proposed. Alain Connes' Noncommutative Geometry provides a framework in which the Standard Model of particle physics coupled to general relativity is formulated as a…
We investigate the possible effects on the evolution of perturbations in the inflationary epoch due to short distance physics. We introduce a suitable non local action for the inflaton field, suggested by Noncommutative Geometry, and…
When canonical Hamiltonians of local quantum field theories are transformed using a renormalization group procedure for effective particles, the resulting interaction terms are non-local. The range of their non-locality depends on the…
The connection between Lorentz invariance violation and noncommutativity of fields in a quantum field theory is investigated. A new dispersion relation for a free field theory with just one additional noncommutative parameter is obtained.…
Non commutative geometry is creating new possibilities for physics. Quantum spacetime geometry and post inflationary models of the universe with matter creation have an enormous range of scales of time, distance and energy in between. There…
