On non-commutative Minkowski spheres

چکیده
The purpose of the following is to try to make sense of the stereographic projection in a non-commutative setup. To this end, we consider the open unit ball of a ternary ring of operators, which naturally comes equipped with a non-commutative version of a hyperbolic metric and ask for a manifold onto which the open unit ball can be mapped so that one might think of this situation as providing a noncommutative analog to mapping the open disk of complex numbers onto the hyperboloid in three space, equipped with the restriction of the Minkowskian metric. We also obtain a related result on the Jordan algebra of self-adjoint operators.

Hermitian metric on quantum spheres
The paper deal with non-commutative geometry. The notion of quantumspheres was introduced by podles. Here we define the quantum hermitianmetric on the quantum spaces and find it for the quantum spheres.
متن کاملDirac Field on Moyal-Minkowski Spacetime and Non-Commutative Potential Scattering
The quantized free Dirac field is considered on Minkowski spacetime (of general dimension). The Dirac field is coupled to an external scalar potential whose support is finite in time and which acts by a Moyal-deformed multiplication with respect to the spatial variables. The Moyal-deformed multiplication corresponds to the product of the algebra of a Moyal plane described in the setting of spec...
متن کاملGeneralized Minkowski-funk Transforms and Small Denominators on the Sphere
The Cauchy problem for the Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation on the unit sphere Sn gives rise to a family of fractional integrals M cos f(x) which integrate f over the spherical cap of radius centered at the point x 2 Sn. These fractional integrals are called the generalized Minkowski-Funk transforms because various transforms of integral geometry (including those of Minkowski and Funk) are partic...
متن کاملA non-commutative Minkowskian spacetime from a quantum AdS algebra
A quantum deformation of the conformal algebra of the Minkowskian spacetime in (3 + 1) dimensions is identified with a deformation of the (4 + 1)-dimensional AdS algebra. Both Minkowskian and AdS first-order non-commutative spaces are explicitly obtained, and the former coincides with the well known κ-Minkowski space. Next, by working in the conformal basis, a new non-commutative Minkowskian sp...
متن کاملq-Index on braided non-commutative spheres
To some Hecke symmetries (i.e. Yang-Baxter braidings of Hecke type) we assign algebras called braided non-commutative spheres. For any such algebra, we introduce and compute a q-analog of the Chern-Connes index. Unlike the standard Chern-Connes index, ours is based on the so-called categorical trace specific for a braided category in which the algebra in question is represented. AMS Mathematics...
