We test the hypothesis that in models with an explicit breaking of Lorentz invariance (LIV models) the problem with the cosmological constant may, if not already be solved, then at least may partially be mitigated by improving its UV…
Following the recent exploration of smooth heterotic compactifications with unitary bundles, orbifold compactifications in six dimensions can be shown to correspond in the blow-up to compactifications with U(1) gauge backgrounds. A powerful…
Some physics models have 10 dimensions that are usually decomposed into: 4 spacetime dimensions with local Lorentz Spin(1,3) symmetry plus a 6-dimensional compact space related to internal symmetries. A possibly useful alternative…
Each of the two moving observers observes the relative velocity of the other. The two velocities should be equal and opposite. We have shown that this relativistic requirement is not fulfilled by Lorentz transformation. We have also shown…
In this article we considered models of particles living in a three-dimensional space-time with a nonstandard noncommutativity induced by shifting canonical coordinates and momenta with generators of a unitary irreducible representation of…
Four new integrable evolutions equations with operator Lax pairs are found for an octonion variable. The method uses a scaling ansatz to set up a general polynomial form for the evolution equation and the Lax pair, using KdV and mKdV…
In a generalized Heisenberg/Schroedinger picture we use an invariant space-time transformation to describe the motion of a relativistic particle. We discuss the relation with the relativistic mechanics and find that the propagation of the…
The evolution from Mobius to gyrogroups began in 1988, and is still ongoing in [14, 15]. Gyrogroups, a natural generalization of groups, lay a fruitful bridge between nonassociative algebra and hyperbolic geometry, just as groups lay a…
We discuss the characteristic properties of noncommutative solitons moving with constant velocity. As noncommutativity breaks the Lorentz symmetry, the shape of moving solitons is affected not just by the Lorentz contraction along the…
We generate non-linear representations of the Lorentz Group by unitary transformation over the Lorentz generators. To do that we use deformed scale transformations by introducing momentum-depending parameters. The momentum operator…
The canonical decomposition of a Lorentz algebra element into a sum of orthogonal simple (decomposable) Lorentz bivectors is discussed, as well as the decomposition of a proper orthochronous Lorentz transformation into a product of…
We study the process of compactification as a topology change. It is shown how the mediating spacetime topology, or cobordism, may be simplified through surgery. Within the causal Lorentzian approach to quantum gravity, it is shown that any…
The problem considered here is the determination of the hamiltonian of a first quantized nonrelativistic particle by the help of some measurements of the location with a finite resolution. The resulting hamiltonian depends on the resolution…
In an earlier work, we proposed a generalization for the Apollonian packing in arbitrary dimensions and showed that the resulting object in four, five, and six dimensions have properties consistent with the Apollonian circle and sphere…
In this extended note a critical discussion of an extension of the Lorentz transformations for velocities faster than the speed of light given recently by Hill and Cox is provided. The presented approach reveals the connection between…
We use an important decoupling property of gravitational field equations in the general relativity theory and modifications, written with respect to nonholonomic frames with 2+2 spacetime decomposition. This allows us to integrate the…
We investigate how deformations of special relativity in momentum space can be extended to position space in a consistent way, such that the dimensionless contraction between wave-vector and coordinate-vector remains invariant. By using a…
Generalized Lorentz transformations with modified velocity parameter are considered. Lorentz transformations depending on the mass of the observer are suggested.The modified formula for the addition of velocities remarkably preserves the…
Oscillating moduli fields can support a cosmological scaling solution in the presence of a perfect fluid when the scalar field potential satisfies appropriate conditions. We examine when such conditions arise in higher-dimensional,…
Dimensional reduction of theories involving (super-)gravity gives rise to sigma models on coset spaces of the form G/H, with G a non-compact group, and H its maximal compact subgroup. The reverse process, called oxidation, is the…
