This PhD thesis aims at describing the applications of noncommutative geometry to particle physics and quantum field theory. It includes a brief survey of the basic principles and definitions of noncommutative geometry such as spectral…
After an overview of noncommutative differential calculus, we construct parts of it explicitly and explain why this construction agrees with a fuller version obtained from the theory of operads.
We explore a possible link between the structure of space at short length scales and the emergence of classical phenomena at macroscopic scales. To this end we adopt the paradigm of non-commutative space at short length scales and…
Local observables in (perturbative) quantum gravity are notoriously hard to define, since the gauge symmetry of gravity -- diffeomorphisms -- moves points on the manifold. In particular, this is a problem for backgrounds of high symmetry…
The attempt to unify the laws of physics is approached from a discrete vision of space and time, abandoning the continuous medium paradigm that presided over the derivation of certain equations of physics-Navier-Stokes., Navier-Lam{\'e},…
We initiate a study of projections and modules over a noncommutative cylinder, a simple example of a noncompact noncommutative manifold. Since its algebraic structure turns out to have many similarities with the noncommutative torus, one…
This is a review paper concerned with the global consistency of the quantum dynamics of non-commutative systems. Our point of departure is the theory of constrained systems, since it provides a unified description of the classical and…
We consider classical and quantum mechanics related to an additional noncommutativity, symmetric in position and momentum coordinates. We show that such mechanical system can be transformed to the corresponding one which allows employment…
One approach for formulating the classical dynamics of charged particles in non-Abelian gauge theories is due to Wong. Following Wong's approach, we derive the classical equations of motion of a charged particle in U(1) gauge theory on…
As a first step at developing a theory of noncommutative nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations, we analyze noncommutative analogues of Laplace's equation and its variants (some of the them nonlinear) over noncommutative tori.…
Dirac's quantization of the Maxwell theory on non-commutative spaces has been considered. First class constraints were found which are the same as in classical electrodynamics. The gauge covariant quantization of the non-linear equations of…
This lecture consists of two sections. In section 1 we consider the simplest version of a q-deformed Heisenberg algebra as an example of a noncommutative structure. We first derive a calculus entirely based on the algebra and then formulate…
Lie-Poisson electrodynamics describes the semi-classical limit of non-commutative $U(1)$ gauge theory, characterized by Lie-algebra-type non-commutativity. We focus on the mechanics of a charged point-like particle moving in a given gauge…
We introduce a variation of the discrete time quantum walk, the nonreversal quantum walk, which does not step back onto a position which it has just occupied. This allows us to simulate a dimer and we achieve it by introducing a new type of…
We present a parallel between commutative and non-commutative polymorphisms. Our emphasis is the applications to conditional distributions from stochastic processes. In the classical case, both the measures and the positive definite kernels…
We apply quantum group methods for noncommutative geometry to the $Z_2\times Z_2$ lattice to obtain a natural Dirac operator on this discrete space. This then leads to an interpretation of the Higgs fields as the discrete part of spacetime…
We consider a model of classical noncommutative particle in an external electromagnetic field. For this model, we prove the existence of generalized gauge transformations. Classical dynamics in Hamiltonian and Lagrangian form is discussed,…
In our previous work we have constructed a model of noncommutative (NC) gravity based on $SO(2,3)_\star$ gauge symmetry. In this paper we extend the model by adding matter fields: fermions and a $U(1)$ gauge field. Using the enveloping…
The gauge connections corresponding to electromagnetism, Yang-Mills theory and Einstein gravity can be derived by assuming specific commutation relations between the phase-space variables of a first quantized theory. Extending the procedure…
A unified conceptual foundation of classical and quantum physics is given, free of undefined terms. Ensembles are defined by extending the `probability via expectation' approach of Whittle to noncommuting quantities. This approach carries…
