We illustrate the various ways in which the algebraic framework of noncommutative geometry naturally captures the short-distance spacetime properties of string theory. We describe the noncommutative spacetime constructed from a vertex…
We describe how the presence of the antisymmetric tensor (torsion) on the world sheet action of string theory renders the size of the target space a gauge non invariant quantity. This generalizes the R <--> 1/R symmetry in which momenta and…
It is argued that holographic bounds on the information content of spacetime might be directly measurable. A new uncertainty principle is conjectured to arise from quantum indeterminacy of nearly flat spacetime: Angular orientations of null…
String geometry theory is one of the candidates of a non-perturbative formulation of string theory. In this theory, the ``classical'' action is almost uniquely determined by T-symmetry, which is a generalization of the T-duality, where the…
A central question in General Relativity (GR) is how to determine whether singularities are geometrical properties of spacetime, or simply anomalies of a coordinate system used to parameterize the spacetime. In particular, it is an open…
Noncommutative geometry is a mathematical framework that expresses the structure of space-time in terms of operator algebras. By using the tools of quantum mechanics to describe the geometry, noncommutative space-times are expected to give…
The existence of a minimal observable length has long been suggested, in quantum gravity, as well as in string theory. In this context a generalized uncertainty relation has been derived which quantum theoretically describes the minimal…
We argue that the minimal length discretization generalizing the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, in which the gravitational impacts on the non--commutation relations are thoughtfully taken into account, radically modifies the spacetime…
The non-relativistic version of the multi-temporal quantization scheme of relativistic particles in a family of non-inertial frames (see hep-th/0502194) is defined. At the classical level the description of a family of non-rigid…
String theory, quantum geometry, loop quantum gravity and black hole physics all indicate the existence of a minimal observable length on the order of Planck length. This feature leads to a modification of Heisenberg uncertainty principle.…
Shock wave solutions of the Einstein equations have been constructed in coordinate systems in which the gravitational metric is only Lipschitz continuous, but the connection $\Gamma$ and curvature $Riem(\Gamma)$ are both in $L^{\infty}$. At…
We study noncommutative geometry at the Quantum Mechanics level by means of a model where noncommutativity of both configuration and momentum spaces is considered. We analyze how this model affects the problem of the two-dimensional…
Over the past five years, there has been significant progress on the problem of quantization of diffeomorphism covariant field theories with {\it local} degrees of freedom. The absence of a background space-time metric in these theories…
We do not know the symmetries underlying string theory. Furthermore, there must exist an inherently quantum, and spacetime independent, formulation of this theory. Independent of string theory, there should exist a description of quantum…
Trying to connect a fundamentally non-commutative spacetime with the conservative perturbative approach to quantum gravity, we are led to the natural question: are non-commutative geometrical effects already present in the regime where…
Four years ago the Extended Scale Relativity (ESR) theory in C-spaces (Clifford manifolds) was proposed as the plausible physical foundations of string theory. In such theory the speed of light and the minimum Planck scale are the two…
Noncommutative field theories are a class of theories beyond the standard model of elementary particle physics. Their importance may be summarized in two facts. Firstly as field theories on noncommutative spacetimes they come with natural…
In Noncommutative Geometry, as in quantum theory, classically real variables are assumed to correspond to self-adjoint operators. We consider the relaxation of the requirement of self-adjointness to mere symmetry for operators $X_i$ which…
The infinite dimensional generalization of the quantum mechanics of extended objects, namely, the quantum field theory of extended objects is employed to address the hitherto nonrenormalizable gravitational interaction following which the…
We investigate the effect of the minimal length uncertainty relation, motivated by perturbative string theory, on the density of states in momentum space. The relation is implemented through the modified commutation relation [x_i,p_j]=i…
