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 کاملUnitary Quantum Physics with Time-Space Noncommutativity
In this work quantum physics in noncommutative spacetime is developed. It is based on the work of Doplicher et al. which allows for time-space noncommutativity. The Moyal plane is treated in detail. In the context of noncommutative quantum mechanics, some important points are explored, such as the formal construction of the theory, symmetries, causality, simultaneity and observables. The dynami...
متن کاملDiscrete Mathematics , Discrete Physics and Numerical Methods ∗
Discrete mathematics has been neglected for a long time. It has been put in the shade by the striking success of continuous mathematics in the last two centuries, mainly because continuous models in physics proved very reliable, but also because of the greater difficulty in dealing with it. This perspective has been rapidly changing in the last years owing to the needs of the numerical analysis...
متن کاملNoncommutativity and θ-locality
In this paper, we introduce the condition of θ-locality which can be used as a substitute for microcausality in quantum field theory on noncommutative spacetime. This condition is closely related to the asymptotic commutativity which was previously used in nonlocal QFT. Heuristically, it means that the commutators of observables behave at large spacelike separation like exp(−|x − y|2/θ), where ...
