3 Geometry and physics without space-time continuum aim: (toy-?) model for quantum theory of all fund. interactions (gravity!) pre-geometric geometry, gravity emerge at low energies quantum structure of space-time at L P candidates: string theory: vast landscape of possible vacua... (??) here: Matrix Models related to string theory, more predictive dynamical NC space-time accessible, novel tools!
4 Analogy: quantized (phase) space in QM class. mechanics phase space R 2 quantum mechanics quantized phase space R 2 functions f (q, p), Heisenberg algebra f (Q, P) {p, q} = 1 [P, Q] = i 1l NC (matrix) geometry: same math, interpreted as physical space(-time) need metric structure, dynamical (from M.M.!)
5 for practical purposes (& this talk): replace quantum space by Poisson manifold: (M, {.,.})... 2n-dimensional manifold with Poisson structure {f, g} = iθ µν (x) µ f ν g θ µν... dim. L 2 quantization map: such that Q : C(M) L(H) Q(f ) Q(g) = Q(fg) + O(θ) [Q(f ), Q(g)] = Q(i{f, g}) + O(θ 2 ) ( nice ) Φ L(H) = Mat(, C) quantized function on M furthermore: (2π) n Tr Q(φ) d 2n x θ 1 µν φ(x)
