Space And Time

Within a Liouville approach to noncritical string theory, we argue for a nontrivial commutation relation between space and time observables, leading to a nonzero space–time uncertainty relation δx δt>0, which vanishes in the limit of weak string coupling.

Starting from topological quantum field theory, we derive space–time uncertainty relation with respect to the time interval and the spatial length proposed by Yoneya through breakdown of topological symmetry in the large-N matrix model. This work suggests that the topological symmetry might be an underlying higher symmetry behind the space–time uncertainty principle of string theory.

Aisi 304 Steel

A mole of Mercury was suitably treated by ultrasound in order to generate in it the same conditions of local Lorentz invariance violation that were generated in a sonicated cylindrical bar of AISI 304 steel and that are the cause of neutron emission during the sonication. After 3 min, part of the mercury turned into a solid material which turned out to contain isotopes having a different mass (higher and lower) with respect to the isotopes already present in the initial material (mercury). These transformations in the atomic weight without gamma production above the background are brought about during Deformed Space–Time reactions. We present the results of the analyses performed on samples taken from the transformation product. The analyses have been done in two groups, the first one using five different analytical techniques: ICP-OES, XRF, ESEM-EDS, ICP-MS, INAA. In the second group of analyses, we used only two techniques: INAA and ICP-MS. The second group of analyses confirmed the occurring of the transformations in mercury.

M Theory

We discuss toroidal compactifications of maximal supergravity coupled to an extended configuration of BPS states which transform consistently under the U-duality group. Under certain conditions this leads to theories that live in more than eleven space-time dimensions, with maximal supersymmetry but only partial Lorentz invariance. We demonstrate certain features of this construction for the case of nine-dimensional N=2 supergravity.

Canonical Quantum

The cosmological constant problem is turned around to argue for a new foundational physics postulate underlying a consistent quantum theory of gravity and matter, such as string theory. This postulate is a quantum equivalence principle which demands a consistent gauging of the geometric structure of canonical quantum theory. We argue that string theory can be formulated to accommodate such a principle, and that in such a theory the observed cosmological constant is a fluctuation about a zero value. This fluctuation arises from an uncertainty relation involving the cosmological constant and the effective volume of space–time. The measured, small vacuum energy is dynamically tied to the large "size" of the universe, thus violating naive decoupling between small and large scales. The numerical value is related to the scale of cosmological supersymmetry breaking, supersymmetry being needed for a nonperturbative stability of local Minkowski space–time regions in the classical regime.

Carrier Interaction

The lifetimes of polar optical phonons are known to affect the electrical and thermal performance of gallium nitride (GaN) based devices. Utilizing the energy-time uncertainty relation, this study investigates these lifetimes using Raman spectroscopy for a series of samples having free carrier concentrations ranging from 1.24e18 to 3e17 cm−3. By measuring across the typical operating temperatures of these devices, the mechanisms responsible for scattering of 5 separate optical modes are elucidated. It is found that phonon-carrier interaction directly determines the lifetime of the polar optical A1(LO) mode while indirectly influencing the modes into which this longitudinal phonon decays, namely, E1 and A1(TO). Thus understanding the entire phonon energy cascade is vital both for management of the so called “hot phonon” effect as well as modeling of carrier-phonon interactions.
