Quantization of point particles in (2 + 1)-dimensional gravity and spacetime discreteness
Quantization of point particles in (2 + 1)-dimensional gravity and spacetime discreteness
By investigating the canonical commutation rules for gravitating quantized particles in a (2 + 1)-dimensional world, it is found that these particles live on a spacetime lattice. The spacetime lattice points can be characterized by three integers. Various representations are possible, the details depending on the topology chosen for energy …
