" Extended " Particles, Non Commutative Geometry and Unification

چکیده
A reconciliation of gravitation and electromagnetism has eluded physics for neearly a century. It is argued here that this is because both quantum physics and classical physics are set in differentiable space time manifolds with point particles. Once we consider extended particles as in Quantum Superstring theory, and the consequential underlying Non-Commutative geometry, then a reconciliation is possible.

A Partial Unification Model in Non-commutative Geometry
We consider the construction of SU(2)L ⊗ SU(2)R ⊗ SU(4) partial unification models as an example of phenomenologically acceptable unification models in the absence of supersymmetry in non-commutative geometry. We exploit the Chamseddine, Felder and Fröhlich generalization of the Connes and Lott model building prescription. By introducing a bi-module structure and appropriate permutation symmetr...
متن کاملReview of Non - Commutative Geometric Methods Applied to Particle Physics
This is a brief review where some basic elements of non-commutative geometry are given. The rules and ingredients that enter in the construction of the standard model and grand unification models in non-commutative geometry are summarized. A connection between some space-time supersymmetric theories and non-commutative geometry is made. The advantages and prolems of this direction are discussed.
متن کاملParticle Physics Models, Grand Unification and Gravity in Non-Commutative Geometry
We review the construction of particle physics models in the framework of noncommutative geometry. We first give simple examples, and then progress to outline the Connes-Lott construction of the standard Weinberg-Salam model and our construction of the SO(10) model. We then discuss the analogue of the Einstein-Hilbert action and gravitational matter couplings. Finally we speculate on some exper...
متن کاملOn Spectral Invariance of Non–Commutative Tori
Around 1980 Connes extended the notions of geometry to the noncommutative setting. Since then non-commutative geometry has turned into a very active area of mathematical research. As a first non-trivial example of a noncommutative manifold Connes discussed subalgebras of rotation algebras, the socalled non-commutative tori. In the last two decades researchers have unrevealed the relevance of no...
متن کاملSO(10) unification in noncommutative geometry.
We construct an SO(10) grand unified theory in the formulation of non-commutative geometry. The geometry of space-time is that of a product of a continuos four dimensional manifold times a discrete set of points. The properties of the fermionic sector fix almost uniquely the Higgs structure. The simplest model corresponds to the case where the discrete set consists of three points and the Higgs...
