Gravity in Non-Commutative Geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
We study general relativity in the framework of non-commutative differential geometry. In particular, we introduce a gravity action for a space-time which is the product of a four dimensional manifold by a two-point space. In the simplest situation, where the Riemannian metric is taken to be the same on the two copies of the manifold, one obtains a model of a scalar field coupled to Einstein gravity. This field is geometrically interpreted as describing the distance between the two points in the internal space. * Supported by the Swiss National Foundation (SNF)

Gravity coupled with matter and the foundation of non commutative geometry
We rst exhibit in the commutative case the simple algebraic relations between the algebra of functions on a manifold and its in nitesimal length element ds. Its unitary representations correspond to Riemannian metrics and Spin structure while ds is the Dirac propagator ds = | = D 1 where D is the Dirac operator. We extend these simple relations to the non commutative case using Tomita's involut...
متن کاملLessons from (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity
Proposals that quantum gravity gives rise to non-commutative spacetime geometry and deformations of Poincaré symmetry are examined in the context of (2+1)dimensional quantum gravity. The results are expressed in five lessons, which summarise how the gravitational constant, Planck’s constant and the cosmological constant enter the non-commutative and non-cocommutative structures arising in (2+1)...
متن کاملThree dimensional gravity and Quantum Hall Effect
Recently three dimensional Einstein gravity with AdS geometry has been studied, and pointed out to be described with Chern-Simons theory by Grumiller and Jackiw. While, non-commutative Chern-Simons theory is known to be equivalent to Quantum Hall Effect, through Area Preserving Diffeomorphism by Susskind and others. Conbining these, three dimensional gravity is studied in this paper in the cont...
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...
