N ov 1 99 6 Classical Gravity on Fuzzy Space - Time

چکیده

A review is made of recent efforts to find relations between the commutation relations which define a noncommutative geometry and the gravitational field which remains as a shadow in the commutative limit. The position x and the momentum p of a classical particle can be simultaneously measured and (x, p) defines a point in classical phase-space. The set of polynomials in the variables (x, p) can be added and multiplied; they form a commutative algebra. When the particle is quantized the points disappear; because of the Heisenberg uncertainty relations the two operatorsˆx andˆp can no longer be simultaneously measured. However, it still makes sense to consider the algebra of polynomials in them. It is a noncommutative algebra which Dirac [1] referred to as the 'quantum algebra'. A vector in classical phase space can be naturally identified with a derivation of the algebra of polynomials and as such can be generalized to the quantized case. Dirac called it a 'quantum differentiation'. From the correspondence principle we see that lim ¯ h→0

N ov 1 99 6 Some Quantum Aspects of D = 3 Space - Time Massive Gravity

We discuss some features of Einstein-Proca gravity in D = 3 and 4 spacetimes. Our study includes a discussion on the tree-level unitarity and on the issue of light deflection in 3D gravity in the presence of a mass term. 1 [email protected] 2 [email protected]

It is shown that the SU (2) Yang-Mills theory in 3-dimensional Riemann-Cartan space-time can be completely reformulated as a gravity-like theory in terms of gauge invariant variables. The resulting Yang-Mills induced equations are found, and it is demonstrated that they can be derived from a torsion-square type of action.

Locally Weyl invariant massless bosonic and fermionic spin-1/2 action in the (Y 4 , g) space-time. Abstract We search for a real bosonic and fermionic action in four dimensions which both remain invariant under local Weyl transformations in the presence of contortion and non-metricity tensor. In the presence of the non-metricity tensor the investigation is extended to (W n , g) space-time while...

It is shown that the capacity of a classical-quantum channel with arbitrary (possibly mixed) states equals to the maximum of the entropy bound with respect to all apriori distributions. This completes the recent result of Hausladen, Jozsa, Schumacher, Westmoreland and Wooters [5], who proved the equality for the pure state channel. 1. Information and capacity for quantum channel. We start by re...
