Noncommutative general relativity

چکیده
We define a theory of noncommutative general relativity for canonical noncommutative spaces. We find a subclass of general coordinate transformations acting on canonical noncommutative spacetimes to be volume-preserving transformations. Local Lorentz invariance is treated as a gauge theory with the spin connection field taken in the so(3,1) enveloping algebra. The resulting theory appears to be a noncommutative extension of the unimodular theory of gravitation. We compute the leading order noncommutative correction to the action and derive the noncommutative correction to the equations of motion of the weak gravitation field.

Noncommutative unification of general relativity with quantum mechanics and canonical gravity quantization
The groupoid approach to noncommutative unification of general relativity with quantum mechanics is compared with the canonical gravity quantization. It is shown that by restricting the corresponding noncommutative algebra to its (commutative) subalgebra, which determines the space-time slicing, an algebraic counterpart of superspace (space of 3-metrics) can be obtained. It turns out that when ...
متن کاملNonlocal Phenomena from Noncommutative Pre-Planckian Regime
A model unifying general relativity with quantum mechanics is further developed. It is based on a noncommutative geometry which supposedly modelled the universe in its pre-Planckian epoch. The geometry is totally nonlocal with no time and no space in their usual meaning. They emerge only in the transition process from the noncommutative epoch to the standard space-time physics. Observational as...
متن کاملΘ-twisted Gravity
We describe a theory of gravitation on canonical noncommutative spacetimes. The construction is based on θ-twisted General Coordinate Transformations and Local Lorentz Invariance. 1. It can be suspected from various arguments, e.g. related with short-distance divergences in quantum field theory and singularities in General Relativity, that the classical concept of spacetime continuum breaks dow...
متن کاملGauging the twisted Poincaré symmetry as noncommutative theory of gravitation
Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity was formulated as a gauge theory of Lorentz symmetry by Utiyama in 1956, while the Einstein-Cartan gravitational theory was formulated by Kibble in 1961 as the gauge theory of Poincaré transformations. In a noncommutative space-time with canonical commutation relations between the coordintes, Lorentz symmetry is violated and field theories constructed on ...
متن کاملGauge and Einstein Gravity from Non–Abelian Gauge Models on Noncommutative Spaces
Following the formalism of enveloping algebras and star product calculus we formulate and analyze a model of gauge gravity on noncommutative spaces and examine the conditions of its equivalence to general relativity. The corresponding Seiber–Witten maps are established which allow the definition of respective dynamics for a finite number of gravitational gauge field components on noncommutative...
