It is shown that trajectories of free motion of the particles in deformed ("quantum") four dimensional space-time are quadratic curves.
Non-Euclidean method of the generalized geometry construction is considered. According to this approach any generalized geometry is obtained as a result of deformation of the proper Euclidean geometry. The method may be applied for…
Geometric quantum mechanics aims to express the physical properties of quantum systems in terms of geometrical features preferentially selected in the space of pure states. Geometric characterisations are given here for systems of one, two,…
Projective geometry provides the preferred framework for most implementations of Euclidean space in graphics applications. Translations and rotations are both linear transformations in projective geometry, which helps when it comes to…
A quantum theory in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space can be geometrically formulated as a proper Hamiltonian theory as explained in [2, 3, 7, 8]. From this point of view a quantum system can be described in a classical-like framework…
We have previously presented a version of the Weak Equivalence Principle for a quantum particle as an exact analog of the classical case, based on the Heisenberg picture analysis of free particle motion. Here, we take that to a full…

A class of homogeneous isotropic space-time models including pseudo-Euclidean space as a special case is considered. Such a model is chosen, where the particle motion is described in the most adequate way. It means that the world tubes of…
Various choices of the geometry degrees of freedom as the emergent time are tested on the model of an isotropic universe with a scalar field of $\phi^2$ potential. Potential problems with each choices as well as possible applications in…

Conformally compactified phase space is conceived as an automorphism space for the global action of the extended conformal group. Space time and momentum space appear then as conformally dual, that is conjugate with respect to conformal…
A class of free quantum fields defined on the Poincare' group, is described by means of their two-point vacuum expectation values. They are not equivalent to fields defined on the Minkowski spacetime and they are "elementary" in the sense…
Geometry of hypersurfaces defined by the relation which generalizes classical formula for free energy in terms of microstates is studied. Induced metric, Riemann curvature tensor, Gauss-Kronecker curvature and associated entropy are…
Inspired by the recent work of Filho et al., a Hermitian momentum operator is introduced in a general curved space with diagonal metric. The modified Hamiltonian associated with this new momentum is calculated and discussed. Furthermore,…
We construct a model of quantum gravity in which dimension, topology and geometry of spacetime are dynamical. The microscopic degree of freedom is a real rectangular matrix whose rows label internal flavours, and columns label spatial…
The geometry of the classical phase space C of a finite number of degrees of freedom determines the possible duality symmetries of the corresponding quantum mechanics. Under duality we understand the relativity of the notion of a quantum…

We construct a space of quantum states and an algebra of quantum observables, over the set of all metrics of arbitrary but fixed signature, defined on a manifold. The construction is diffeomorphism invariant, and unique up to natural…
The state-of-the-art physics consists of two irreconcilable branches, i.e., the quantum theory and the general relativity, which work well in their own territories, independently. However, what are quantum and spacetime after all? The key…
We study the simplest geometrical particle model associated with null paths in four-dimensional Minkowski space-time. The action is given by the pseudo-arclength of the particle worldline. We show that the reduced classical phase space of…
