The $\kappa$-(A)dS noncommutative spacetime

Abstract

The (3+1)-dimensional $\kappa$-(A)dS noncommutative spacetime is explicitly constructed by quantizing its semiclassical counterpart, which is the $\kappa$-(A)dS Poisson homogeneous space. This turns out to be the only possible generalization of the well-known $\kappa$-Minkowski spacetime to the case of non-vanishing cosmological constant, under the condition that the time translation generator of the corresponding quantum (A)dS algebra is primitive. Moreover, the $\kappa$-(A)dS noncommutative spacetime is shown to have a quadratic subalgebra of local spatial coordinates whose first-order brackets in terms of the cosmological constant parameter define a quantum sphere, while the commutators between time and space coordinates preserve the same structure of the $\kappa$-Minkowski spacetime. When expressed in ambient coordinates, the quantum $\kappa$-(A)dS spacetime is shown to be defined as a noncommutative pseudosphere.
