The Cosmological Constant and the Deconstruction of Gravity
Vishnu Jejjala, Robert G. Leigh, Djordje Minic
Witten has presented an argument for the vanishing of the cosmological constant in 2+1 dimensions. This argument is crucially tied to the specific properties of (2+1)-dimensional g…
Holography, Time and Quantum Mechanics
Vijay Balasubramanian, Jan de Boer, Djordje Minic
In this talk we entertain the possibility that the synthesis of general covariance and quantum mechanics requires an extension of the basic kinematical setup of quantum mechanics.…
Classical Implications of the Minimal Length Uncertainty Relation
Sandor Benczik, Lay Nam Chang, Djordje Minic +3
We study the phenomenological implications of the classical limit of the "stringy" commutation relations [x_i,p_j]=i hbar[(1+beta p^2) delta_{ij} + beta' p_i p_j]. In particular, w…
Exploring de Sitter Space and Holography
Vijay Balasubramanian, Jan de Boer, Djordje Minic
We explore aspects of the physics of de Sitter (dS) space that are relevant to holography with a positive cosmological constant. First we display a nonlocal map that commutes with…
Short Distance vs. Long Distance Physics: The Classical Limit of the Minimal Length Uncertainty Relation
Sandor Benczik, Lay Nam Chang, Djordje Minic +3
We continue our investigation of the phenomenological implications of the "deformed" commutation relations [x_i,p_j]=i hbar[(1 + beta p^2) delta_{ij} + beta' p_i p_j]. These commut…
Nambu Quantum Mechanics: A Nonlinear Generalization of Geometric Quantum Mechanics
D. Minic, C. H. Tze
We propose a generalization of the standard geometric formulation of quantum mechanics, based on the classical Nambu dynamics of free Euler tops. This extended quantum mechanics ha…
