Gravity from a Modified Commutator
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that a suitably chosen position-momentum commutator can elegantly describe many features of gravity, including the IR/UV correspondence and dimensional reduction (‘holography’). Using the most simplistic example based on dimensional analysis of black holes, we construct a commutator which qualitatively exhibits these novel properties of gravity. Dimensional reduction occurs because the quanta size grow quickly with momenta, and thus cannot be “packed together” as densely as naively expected. We conjecture that a more precise form of this commutator should be able to quantitatively reproduce all of these features. This essay received an Honorable Mention in the 2005 Gravity Research Foundation Essay Competition

Local stability criterion for self-gravitating disks in modified gravity
We study local stability of self-gravitating fluid and stellar disk in the context of modified gravity theories which predict a Yukawa-like term in the gravitational potential of a point mass. We investigate the effect of such a Yukawa-like term on the dynamics of self-gravitating disks. More specifically, we investigate the consequences of the presence of this term for the local stability of t...
متن کاملThe Density-Driven Nanofluid Convection in an Anisotropic Porous Medium Layer with Rotation and Variable Gravity Field: A Numerical Investigation
In this study, a numerical examination of the significance of rotation and changeable gravitational field on the start of nanofluid convective movement in an anisotropic porous medium layer is shown. A model that accounts for the impact of Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis is used for nanofluid, while Darcy’s law is taken for the porous medium. The porous layer is subjected to uniform rotat...

متن کاملA HAMILTONIAN LATTICE THEORY FOR HOMOGENEOUS CURVED SPACETIMES IN 2+1 DIMENSIONS * A. Criscuolo and H. Waelbroeck
We propose an exact Hamiltonian lattice theory for (2+1)-dimensional spacetimes with homogeneous curvature. By gauging away the lattice we find a generalization of the “polygon representation” of (2+1)-dimensional gravity. We compute the holonomies of the Lorentz connection Ai = ω a i La + e a i Ka and find that the cycle conditions are satisfied only in the limit Λ → 0. This implies that, unli...
متن کاملCommutators and powers of infinite unitriangular matrices
In the paper we consider some commutator-type and power-type matrix equations in the group UT(∞,K) of infinite dimensional unitriangular matrices over a fieldK. We introduce a notion of a power outer commutator ω1k k (x1, ..., xk) and a power Engel commutator e1k k (x, y) as outer (respectively Engel) commutators modified by allowing powers of letters instead of letters alone. For a given infin...
