چکیده
Models in which the space-time metric g µν is not symmetric, i.e. g µν = g νµ may make predictions in scattering experiments, for example in a future e + e − linear collider, similar to those from noncommutative field theory. We compute the differential cross sections for pair annihilation , Bhabha and Møller scattering and find that both nonsymmetric gravity theory(NGT) and noncommutative field theory predict a similar dependence of the differential cross section on the azimuthal angle in agreement with all known data, however in NGT Lorentz violation need not be as severe. Astrophysical and cosmological tests may prove very useful in distinguishing these two theories.

The presence of a constant background antisymmetric tensor for open strings or D-branes forces the space-time coordinates to be noncommutative. An immediate consequence of this is that all fields get complexified. By applying this idea to gravity one discovers that the metric becomes complex. Complex gravity is constructed by gauging the symmetry U(1, D − 1). The resulting action gives one spec...
متن کاملNoncommutative Quantum Gravity
The possible role of gravity in a noncommutative geometry is investigated. Due to the Moyal *-product of fields in noncommutative geometry, it is necessary to complexify the metric tensor of gravity. We first consider the possibility of a complex Hermitian, nonsymmetric gμν and discuss the problems associated with such a theory. We then introduce a complex symmetric (non-Hermitian) metric, with...
متن کاملComplexified Gravity in Noncommutative Spaces
The presence of a constant background antisymmetric tensor for open strings or D-branes forces the space-time coordinates to be noncommutative. This effect is equivalent to replacing ordinary products in the effective theory by the deformed star product. An immediate consequence of this is that all fields get complexified. The only possible noncommutative Yang-Mills theory is the one with U(N) ...

A possible deviation from the precession of the Gravity Probe-B gyroscope predicted by general relativity is obtained in the nonsymmetric gravity theory. The time delay of radio signals emitted by spacecraft at planetary distances from the Sun, in nonsymmetric gravity theory is the same as in general relativity. A correction to the precession of the gyroscope would provide an experimental signa...
متن کاملNoncommutative gravity: fuzzy sphere and others
Gravity on noncommutative analogues of compact spaces can give a finite mode truncation of ordinary commutative gravity. We obtain the actions for gravity on the noncommutative two-sphere and on the noncommutative CP in terms of finite dimensional (N×N)-matrices. The commutative large N limit is also discussed.
