Gravitational fields on a noncommutative space

V. P. Nair

Noncommutative three-dimensional gravity can be described in terms of a noncommutative Chern-Simons theory. We extend this structure and also propose an action for gravitational fi…

Thermodynamic approach to dense granular matter: a numerical realization of a decisive experiment

Hernan A. Makse, Jorge Kurchan

Years ago Edwards proposed a thermodynamic description of dense granular matter, in which the grains (the `atoms' of the system) interact with inelastic forces. The approach is int…
