Fractal properties of quantum spacetime.
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that, in general, a spacetime having a quantum group symmetry has also a scale-dependent fractal dimension which deviates from its classical value at short scales, a phenomenon that resembles what is observed in some approaches to quantum gravity. In particular, we analyze the cases of a quantum sphere and of kappa-Minkowski spacetime, the latter being relevant in the context of quantum gravity.

We review recent developments in the understanding of the fractal properties of quantum spacetime of 2d gravity coupled to c > 0 conformal matter. In particular we discuss bounds put by numerical simulations using dynamical triangulations on the value of the Hausdorff dimension dH obtained from scaling properties of two point functions defined in terms of geodesic distance. Further insight to t...

A straightforward explanation of the Young’s two-slit experiment of a quantum particle is obtained within the framework of the Noncommutative Geometric associated with El Naschie’s Cantorian-Fractal transfinite Spacetime continuum.
متن کاملCompactified dimensions as produced by quantum entanglement, the four dimensionality of Einstein’s smooth spacetime and ‘tHooft’s 4-ε fractal spacetime
We show how Einstein’s four dimensionality of spacetime arises via a Hardy quantum entanglement form of compactification acting on Veneziano bosonic strings space. In turn this quantum entanglement mechanism is directly connected to the transfinite version of Heterotic string’s dimensional hierarchy, i.e. 26, 16, 10, 6, 4 and leads directly to ‘tHooft-Veltman-Wilson fractal spacetime of dimensi...
متن کاملQuantum field theory on fractal spacetime: a new regularisation method
Spacetime is modelled a s a fractal subset of R". Analysis on homogeneous sets with non-integer Hausdorff dimension is applied to the low-order perturbative renormalisation of quantum electrodynamics. This new regularisation method implements the Dirac matrices and tensors in R4 without difficulties, is gauge invariant, covariant and differs from dimensional regularisation in some aspects.
متن کاملScanning the structure of ill-known spaces: Part 3. Distribution of topological structures at elemen- tary and cosmic scales
The distribution of the deformations of elementary cells is studied in an abstract lattice constructed from the existence of the empty set. One combination rule determining oriented sequences with continuity of set-distance function in such spaces provides a particular kind of spacetime-like structure that favors the aggregation of such deformations into fractal forms standing for massive objec...
