Research Project "Covariant Quantum Spaces, Higher Spin, and Gravity"

supported by the FWF,  P 32086

This project focuses on the recently discovered 3+1-dimensional covariant quantum space-times, which lead to higher-spin gauge theories in the framework of Yang-Mills matrix models. The focus will be on the gravity sector, which arises from spin 2 fluctuation modes on these spaces. This should provide a promising framework for quantum gravity, and we will aim to develop this as far as possible.

Members of this research group:  Emmanuele Battista (postdoc), Veronika Bachleitner (Master's student), Emil Broukal (Master's student), Laurin Felder (Master's student),  H.S.
