All unitary irreducible representations of centrally extended (N-odd) N-conformal Galilei group are constructed. The "on-shell" action of the group is derived and shown to coincide, in special but most important case, with that obtained in:…
In the paper a review of results for recovering of the weak equivalence principle in a space with deformed commutation relations for operators of coordinates and momenta is presented. Different types of deformed algebras leading to a space…
We show that there is a special choice of parameters for which the galileon theory is invariant under an enhanced shift symmetry whose non-linear part is quadratic in the coordinates. This symmetry fixes the theory to be equivalent to one…
The importance of the first-class constraint algebra of general relativity is not limited just by its self-contained description of the gauge nature of spacetime, but it also provides conditions to properly evolve the geometry by selecting…
We describe the deformed Poincare-conformal symmetries implying the covariance of the noncommutative space obeying Snyder's algebra. Relativistic particle models invariant under these deformed symmetries are presented. A gauge…
Simple deformations, with a parameter $\epsilon$, of classical $R$-matrices which follow from decomposition of appropriate Lie algebras, are considered. As a result nonstandard Lax representations for some well known integrable systems are…
We introduce a new approach to constructing derived deformation groupoids, by considering them as parameter spaces for strong homotopy bialgebras. This allows them to be constructed for all classical deformation problems, such as…
Quantum deformations of the structure constants for a class of associative noncommutative algebras are studied. It is shown that these deformations are governed by the quantum central systems which has a geometrical meaning of vanishing…
We present a geometric setting for the differential Galois theory of $G$-invariant connections with parameters. As an application of some classical results on differential algebraic groups and Lie algebra bundles, we see that the Galois…
A system's invariance under Galilean transformation implies three locally conserved densities. Including them as variables, the thermodynamics is rendered explicitly frame independent, dissipative mass currents are shown to vanish, and…
Disordered solids, straddling the solid-fluid boundary, lack a comprehensive continuum mechanical description. They exhibit a complex microstructure wherein multiple meta-stable states exist. Deforming disordered solids induces particles…
Doubly special relativity considers a deformation of the special relativistic kinematics parametrized by a high-energy scale, in such a way that it preserves a relativity principle. When this deformation is assumed to be applied to any…
In the present paper we investigate the mechanics of systems of affinely-rigid bodies, i.e., bodies rigid in the sense of affine geometry. Certain physical applications are possible in modelling of molecular crystals, granular media, and…
Some aspects of the "exotic" particle, associated with the two-parameter central extension of the planar Galilei group are reviewed. A fundamental property is that it has non-commuting position coordinates. Other and generalized…
We have recently argued that if one introduces a relational time in quantum mechanics and quantum gravity, the resulting quantum theory is such that pure states evolve into mixed states. The rate at which states decohere depends on the…
We consider a point particle coupled to 2+1 gravity, with de Sitter gauge group SO(3,1). We observe that there are two contraction limits of the gauge group: one resulting in the Poincare group, and the second with the gauge group having…
This work presents a general unified theory for coupled nonlinear elastic and inelastic deformations of curved thin shells. The coupling is based on a multiplicative decomposition of the surface deformation gradient. The kinematics of this…
Respecting deformational constraints and predeformations poses a substantial challenge in the description of nonlinear elasticity. We here outline how group theory can play a beneficial role to overcome this challenge. Specifically, group…
It is possible that fundamental constants may not be constant at all. There is a generally accepted view that one can only talk about variations of dimensionless quantities, such as the fine structure constant $\alpha_{\rm e}\equiv…
In this thesis, I investigate how to construct a self-consistent model of deformed general relativity using canonical methods and metric variables. The specific deformation of general covariance is predicted by some studies into loop…
