Speaker: Giuseppe Fabiano, PhD student
Abstract: Several heuristic arguments in quantum gravity research suggest that there should be a fundamental limit to localization of physical systems. If this argument is to be taken at face value, the classical notion of smooth spacetime should be replaced by that of a "quantized" spacetime. A suitable framework for describing such a scenario is that of non-commutative geometry, where coordinate functions on a manifold are promoted to non-commutative operators. In my presentation, I will highlight some theoretical aspects regarding the "quantum symmetries" of noncommutative spacetimes and I will discuss some phenomenological opportunities arising from relativistic toy models inspired by spacetime noncommutativity.
