چکیده

The geometry of curved Clifford space (C-space) is investigated. It is shown that the curvature in C-space contains higher orders of the curvature in the underlying ordinary space. A C-space is parametrized not only by 1-vector coordinates x µ but also by the 2-vector coordinates σ since they describe the holographic projections of 1-lines, 2-loops, 3-loops, etc., onto the coordinate planes. It is shown that when a scalar quantity or the components of a vector depend on the coordinates σ µν , then this indicates the presence of torsion.

We start from a new theory (discussed earlier) in which the arena for physics is not spacetime, but its straightforward extension—the so called Clifford space (C-space), a manifold of points, lines, areas, etc..; physical quantities are Clifford algebra valued objects , called polyvectors. This provides a natural framework for description of super-symmetry, since spinors are just left or right ...

The geometry of 4D simplicial quantum gravity with a U(1) gauge field is studied numerically. The phase diagram shows a continuous transition when gravity is coupled with a U(1) gauge field. At the critical point measurements of the curvature distribution of S 4 space shows an inflated geometry with homogeneous and symmetric nature. Also, by choosing a 4-simplex and fixing the scalar curvature ...
