Physical Meaning of Quantum Space-Time Symmetries
نویسنده
چکیده
A definition is given and the physical meaning of quantum transformations of a non-commutative configuration space (quantum group coactions) is discussed. It is shown that non-commutative coordinates which are transformed by quantum groups are the natural generalization of the notion of a tensor operator for usual groups and that the quantum group coactions induce semigroups of transformations of states of a system. Two examples of non-commutative transformations and the corresponding semigroups are considered. ∗e-mail: [email protected]

Basic Axioms of Kinematic Causality Relation Reformulated in Terms of Symmetries
In modern physics, many theories are formulated in terms of symmetries; therefore, if we want to incorporate, e.g., space-time physics into modern physics, it is desirable to reformulate space-time physical theories in terms of symmetries. In this paper, we provide such a reformulation for an axiomatic theory of kinematic causality. 1. Formulation of a problem In modern physics (starting from t...
متن کاملThe Symmetries of Equivalent Lagrangian Systems and Constants of Motion
In this paper Mathematical structure of time-dependent Lagrangian systems and their symmetries are extended and the explicit relation between constants of motion and infinitesimal symmetries of time-dependent Lagrangian systems are considered. Starting point is time-independent Lagrangian systems ,then we extend mathematical concepts of these systems such as equivalent lagrangian systems to th...
متن کاملA Unified Scheme for Generalized Sectors based on Selection Criteria –Order parameters of symmetries and of thermality and physical meanings of adjunctions– Dedicated to the memory of Moshé Flato
A unified scheme for treating generalized superselection sectors is proposed on the basis of the notion of selection criteria to characterize states of relevance to each specific domain in quantum physics, ranging from the relativistic quantum fields in the vacuum situations with unbroken and spontaneously broken internal symmetries, through equilibrium and non-equilibrium states to some basic ...
متن کاملQuantum Space-time: Deformed Symmetries versus Broken Symmetries
Several recent studies have concerned the faith of classical symmetries in quantum spacetime. In particular, it appears likely that quantum (discretized, noncommutative,...) versions of Minkowski space-time would not enjoy the classical Lorentz symmetries. I compare two interesting cases: the case in which the classical symmetries are “broken”, i.e. at the quantum level some classical symmetrie...
