Noncommutativity and Discrete Physics
The purpose of this paper is to present an introduction to a point of view for discrete foundations of physics. In taking a discrete stance, we find that the initial expression of physical theory must occur in a context of noncommutative algebra and noncommutative vector analysis. In this way the formalism of quantum mechanics occurs first, but not necessarily with the usual interpretations. By...
متن کاملNoncommutativity and discrete physics
This paper is an introduction to discrete physics based on a non-commutative calculus of finite differences. This gives a context for the Feynman-Dyson derivation of non-commutative electromagnetism, and for generalizations of this result. The paper discusses these ideas and their relations with quantum groups and topological quantum field theory.
متن کاملOrientifolds with discrete torsion
We show how discrete torsion can be implemented in D = 4, N = 1 type IIB orientifolds. Some consistency conditions are found from the closed string and open string spectrum and from tadpole cancellation. Only real values of the discrete torsion parameter are allowed, i.e. ǫ = ±1. Orientifold models are related to real projective representations. In a similar way as complex projective representa...
متن کاملOn Orbifolds with Discrete Torsion
We consider the interpretation in classical geometry of conformal field theories constructed from orbifolds with discrete torsion. In examples we can analyze, these spacetimes contain " stringy regions " that from a classical point of view are singularities that are to be neither resolved nor blown up. Some of these models also give particularly simple and clear examples of mirror symmetry.
متن کاملDiscrete Torsion and Symmetric Products
In this note we point out that a symmetric product orbifold CFT can be twisted by a unique nontrivial two-cocycle of the permutation group. This discrete torsion changes the spins and statistics of corresponding secondquantized string theory making it essentially “supersymmetric.” The long strings of even length become fermionic (or ghosts), those of odd length bosonic. The partition function a...
