The present study aims to derive modified geodesic equation in non-commutative space time. Snyder developed a model for non-commutative space time which provides a suitable technique of quantum structure of the space. We extend Tetrad formulation of general relativity to non-commutative case for complex gravity models. We derive geodesic equation on the k-space time in Non-commutative space, which is a generalization of Feynman’s approach. It has been shown that the homogeneous Maxwell’s equations may be derived by starting with the Newton’s force equation and generalized to relativistic. We show that the geodesic equation in the commutative space time is a suitable for generalization to κ -space time in κ -deformed space time. It shown that the κ-dependent correction to geodesic equation is cubic in velocities.

The One

In the study of certain noncommutative versions of Minkowski space–time a lot remains to be understood for a satisfactory characterization of their symmetries. Adopting as our case study the κ-Minkowski noncommutative space–time, on which a large literature is already available, we propose a line of analysis of noncommutative-space–time symmetries that relies on the introduction of a Weyl map (connecting a given function in the noncommutative Minkowski with a corresponding function in commutative Minkowski). We provide new elements in favor of the expectation that the commutative-space–time notion of Lie-algebra symmetries must be replaced, in the noncommutative-space–time context, by the one of Hopf-algebra symmetries. While previous studies appeared to establish a rather large ambiguity in the description of the Hopf-algebra symmetries of κ-Minkowski, the approach here adopted reduces the ambiguity to the description of the translation generators, and our results, independently of this ambiguity, are sufficient to clarify that some recent studies which argued for an operational indistinguishability between theories with and without a length-scale relativistic invariant, implicitly assumed that the underlying space–time would be classical. Moreover, while usually one describes theories in κ-Minkowski directly at the level of equations of motion, we explore the nature of Hopf-algebra symmetry transformations on an action.

Doubly Special Relativity (DSR) theory is a recently proposed theory with two observer-independent scales (of velocity and mass), which is to describe a kinematic structure underlining the theory of Quantum Gravity. We observe that there are infinitely many DSR constructions of the energy–momentum sector, each of whose can be promoted to the κ-Poincaré quantum (Hopf) algebra. Then we use the co-product of this algebra and the Heisenberg double construction of κ-deformed phase space in order to derive the non-commutative space–time structure and the description of the whole of DSR phase space. Next we show that contrary to the ambiguous structure of the energy momentum sector, the space–time of the DSR theory is unique and related to the theory with non-commutative space–time proposed long ago by Snyder. This theory provides non-commutative version of Minkowski space–time enjoying ordinary Lorentz symmetry. It turns out that when one builds a natural phase space on this space–time, its intrinsic length parameter ℓ becomes observer-independent.

The Impact

Leisure walking has been an important topic in space-time behavior and public health research. However, prior studies pay little attention to the integration and the characterization of diverse and multilevel demands of leisure walking. This study constructs a theoretical framework of leisure walking behavior demands from three different dimensions and levels of activity participation, space-time opportunity, and health benefit. On this basis, through a face-to-face survey in Nanjing, China (N = 1168, 2017–2018 data), this study quantitatively analyzes the characteristics of leisure walking demands, as well as the impact of the built environment and individual factors on it. The results show that residents have a high demand for participation and health benefits of leisure walking. The residential neighborhood provides more space opportunities for leisure walking, but there is a certain constraint on the choice of walking time. Residential neighborhood with medium or large parks is more likely to satisfy residents’ demands for engaging in leisure walking and obtaining high health benefits, while neighborhood with a high density of walking paths tends to limit the satisfaction of demands for space opportunity and health benefit. For residents aged 36 and above, married, or retired, their diverse demands for leisure walking are more likely to be fulfilled, while those with high education, medium-high individual income, general and above health status, or children (<18 years) are less likely to be fulfilled. These finding that can have important implications for the healthy neighborhood by fully considering diverse and multilevel demands of leisure walking behavior.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to get second-order gravitational equations, a correction made to Jefimenko’s linear gravitational equations. These linear equations were first proposed by Oliver Heaviside in [1], making an analogy between the laws of electromagnetism and gravitation. To achieve our goal, we will use perturbation methods on Einstein field equations. It should be emphasized that the resulting system of equations can also be derived from Logunov’s non-linear gravitational equations, but with different physical interpretation, for while in the former gravitation is considered as a deformation of space-time as we can see in [2–5], in the latter gravitation is considered as a physical tensor field in the Minkowski space-time (as in [6–8]). In Jefimenko’s theory of gravitation, exposed in [9, 10], there are two kinds of gravitational fields, the ordinary gravitational field, due to the presence of masses, at rest, or in motion and other field called Heaviside field due to and acts only on moving masses. The Heaviside field is known in general relativity as Lense-Thirring effect or gravitomagnetism (The Heaviside field is the gravitational analogous of the magnetic field in the electromagnetic theory, its existence was proved employing the Gravity Probe B launched by NASA (See, for example, [11, 12]). It is a type of gravitational induction), interpreted as a distortion of space-time due to the motion of mass distributions, (see, for example [13, 14]). Here, we will present our second-order Jefimenko equations for gravitation and its solutions.

Motivated by an axiomatic approach to characterize space-time it is investigated a reformulation of Einstein's gravity where the pseudo-riemannian geometry is substituted by a Weyl one. It is presented the main properties of the Weyl geometry and it is shown that it gives extra contributions to the trajectories of test particles, serving as one more motivation to study general relativity in Weyl geometry. It is introduced its variational formalism and it is established the coupling with other physical fields in such a way that the theory acquires a gauge symmetry for the geometrical fields. It is shown that this symmetry is still present for the red-shift and it is concluded that for cosmological models it opens the possibility that observations can be fully described by the new geometrical scalar field. It is concluded then that this reformulation, although representing a theoretical advance, still needs a complete description of their objects.

A deSitter gauge theory of gravitation over a spherical symmetric Minkowski space–time is developed. The "passive" point of view is adapted, i.e., the space–time coordinates are not affected by group transformations; only the fields change under the action of the symmetry group. A particular ansatz for the gauge fields is chosen and the components of the strength tensor are computed. An analytical solution of Schwarzschild–deSitter type is obtained in the case of null torsion. It is concluded that the deSitter group can be considered as a "passive" gauge symmetry for gravitation. Because of their complexity, all the calculations, inclusive of the integration of the field equations, are performed using an analytical program conceived in GRTensorII for MapleV. The program allows one to compute (without using a metric) the strength tensor [Formula: see text], Riemann tensor [Formula: see text], Ricci tensor [Formula: see text], curvature scalar [Formula: see text], field equations, and the integration of these equations.
