A worldsheet approach to the study of non-abelian D-particle dynamics is presented based on viewing matrix-valued D-brane coordinate fields as coupling constants of a deformed sigma-model which defines a logarithmic conformal field theory.…

We describe the structure of the moduli space of $\sigma$-model couplings for the worldsheet description of a system of $N$ D-particles, in the case that the couplings are represented by a pair of logarithmic recoil operators. We derive…

We argue that the space-time uncertainty relation of the form $\Delta X \Delta T \gtrsim \alpha'$ for the observability of the distances with respect to time, $\Delta T$, and space, $\Delta X$, is universally valid in string theory…

The purpose of this talk is to review some considerations by the present author on the possible role of a simple space-time uncertainty relation toward nonperturbative string theory. We first motivate the space-time uncertainty relation as…

Motivated by the space-time uncertainty principle, we establish a conformal symmetry in the dynamics of D-particles. The conformal symmetry, combined with the supersymmetric non-renormalization theorem, uniquely determines the classical…

This is one of a number of papers in which the metric for space-time is defined on the subatomic level by means of the interchange of photons, and constrained to be consistent with radar. It is shown that the discrete nature of particle…

Spatial noncommutativity is similar and can even be related to the non-Abelian nature of multiple D-branes. But they have so far seemed independent of each other. Reflecting this decoupling, the algebra of matrix valued fields on…

We argue that the notion of identical particles is no longer well defined in quantum systems governed by non-commutative deformations of space-time symmetries. Such models are characterized by four-momentum space given by a non-abelian Lie…

We analyze the nature of space-time nonlocality in string theory. After giving a brief overview on the conjecture of the space-time uncertainty principle, a (semi-classical) reformulation of string quantum mechanics, in which the dynamics…

In order to get the general framework describing a nonlocalizable object beyond the bilocal field theory early proposed by Markov and Yukawa, the quantization of space-time is reconsidered and further developed. Space-time quantities are…

Some recent studies of the properties of D-particles suggest that in string theory a rather conventional description of spacetime might be available up to scales that are significantly smaller than the Planck length. We test this…

We consider the dynamics of a charged particle in a space whose coordinates are $N\times N$ hermitian matrices. Putting things in the framework of D0-branes of String Theory, we mention that the transformations of the matrix coordinates…

A deformation of special relativistic kinematics (possible signal of a theory of quantum gravity at low energies) leads to a modification of the notion of spacetime. At the classical level, this modification is required when one considers a…

We study a four-dimensional spacetime induced by the recoil of a D(irichlet)-particle, embeded in it, due to scattering by a moving string. The induced spacetime has curvature only up to a radius that depends on the energy of the incident…

We study the behavior of non-relativistic quantum particles interacting with different potentials in the space-times generated by a cosmic string and a global monopole. We find the energy spectra in the presence of these topological defects…

We consider relativistic and non-relativistic particles and strings in spaces (or space-times) with a degenerate metric. We show that the resulting dynamics is described by a rich structure of constraints. All constraints are classified and…

In this note, we attempt to provide some insights into the structure of non-perturbative descriptions of quantum gravity using known examples of gauge-theory / gravity duality. We argue that in familiar examples, a quantum description of…

We give a first principles derivation of a master equation for the evolution of a quantum matter field in a linearly perturbed Minkowski spacetime, based solely on quantum field theory and general relativity. We make no additional…

We investigate the implications of decoherence induced by quantum spacetime properties on neutrino oscillation phenomena. We develop a general formalism where the evolution of neutrinos is governed by a Lindblad-type equation and we compute…

We proved that under quantum mechanics a momentum-energy and a space-time are dual vector spaces on an almost complex manifold in position representation, and the minimal uncertainty relations are equivalent to the inner-product relations…
