By applying loop quantum gravity techniques to 3D gravity with a positive cosmological constant $\Lambda$, we show how the local gauge symmetry of the theory, encoded in the constraint algebra, acquires the quantum group structure of…
The quest for a quantum gravity phenomenology has inspired a quantum notion of space-time, which motivates us to study the fate of the relativistic symmetries of a particular model of quantum space-time, as well as its intimate connection…
A generalised equivalence principle is put forward according to which space-time symmetries and internal quantum symmetries are indistinguishable before symmetry breaking. Based on this principle, a higher-dimensional extension of Minkowski…
It is possible that relativistic symmetries become deformed in the semiclassical regime of quantum gravity. Mathematically, such deformations lead to the noncommutativity of spacetime geometry and non-vanishing curvature of momentum space.…
The construction of a theory of quantum gravity is an outstanding problem that can benefit from better understanding the laws of nature that are expected to hold in regimes currently inaccessible to experiment. Such fundamental laws can be…
The fact that in Minkowski space, space and time are both quantized does not have to be introduced as a new postulate in physics, but can actually be derived by combining certain features of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. This is…
We study a Hamiltonian realization of the phase space of kappa-Poincare algebra that yields a definition of velocity consistent with the deformed Lorentz symmetry. We are also able to determine the laws of transformation of spacetime…
In this paper we have introduced a new symmetry property of spacetime which is named as semiconformal curvature collineation, and its relationship with other known symmetry properties has been established. This new symmetry property of the…
A velocity of a point particle in the kappa-Minkowski spacetime is investigated. Characteristic points of the spacetime are that the Poincare group becomes a quantum group with kappa, which is a mass dimension parameter, and is a kind of…
The 4-dimensional space-time is extended to pseudo-complex coordinates. Proposing the standard quantization rules in this extended space, the ones for the 4-dimensional sub-space acquire, as one solution, the commutation relations with…
Quantum operators of coordinates and momentum components of a particle in Minkowski space-time belong to a noncommutative algebra and give rise to a quantum phase space. Under some constraints, in particular, the Lorentz invariance…
It is often expected that one cannot treat spacetime as a continuous manifold as the Planck scale is approached, because of to possible effects due to a quantum theory of gravity. There have been several proposals to model such a deviation…
We investigate the interplay and connections between symmetry properties of equations, the interpretation of coordinates, the construction of observables, and the existence of physical relativity principles in spacetime theories. Using the…
The perspective is advanced that the time parameter in quantum mechanics corresponds to the time coordinate in a Minkowski flat spacetime local approximation to the actual dynamical curved spacetime of General Relativity, rather than to an…
We show that in general a spacetime having a quantum group symmetry has also a scale dependent fractal dimension which deviates from its classical value at short scales, a phenomenon that resembles what observed in some approaches to…
These notes are an introduction to the theory of quantum symmetries of finite and infinite sets, graphs, and locally compact spaces.
Postulates which lead to Minkowski spacetime are amended in a subtle way, and used to construct a consistent flat spacetime geometry with intrinsic quantum character. Events in the new quantum geometry are described by labels of the form…
The relativistic conception of space and time is challenged by the quantum nature of physical observables. It has been known for a long time that Poincar\'e symmetry of field theory can be extended to the larger conformal symmetry. We use…
We recast the Podle\`s spheres in the noncommutative physics context by showing that they can be regarded as slices along the time coordinate of the different regions of the quantum Minkowski space-time. The investigation of the…
The (3+1)-dimensional $\kappa$-(A)dS noncommutative spacetime is explicitly constructed by quantizing its semiclassical counterpart, which is the $\kappa$-(A)dS Poisson homogeneous space. This turns out to be the only possible…
