Fuzzy dimensions and Planck's Uncertainty Principle for p-branes
arXiv:hep-th/0205028 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/19/12/307
Abstract
The explicit form of the quantum propagator of a bosonic p-brane, previously obtained by the authors in the quenched-minisuperspace approximation, suggests the possibility of a novel, unified, description of p-branes with different dimensionality. The background metric that emerges in this framework is a quadratic form on a Clifford manifold. Substitution of the Lorentzian metric with the Clifford line element has two far reaching consequences. On the one hand, it changes the very structure of the spacetime fabric since the new metric is built out of a Minimum Length below which it is impossible to resolve the distance between two points; on the other hand, the introduction of the Clifford line element extends the usual relativity of motion to the case of Relative Dimensionalism of all p-branes that make up the spacetime manifold near the Planck scale.
