Kondo, 1952 ….) Substitute covariant derivatives for derivatives µ µ µ µ λ ∂ν v → Dν v = ∂ν v +Γνλ v Use full curvature, torsion tensors instead of linearized tensors Program not greatly successful when it matters (e.g. glasses). 11 The universe as a strange crystal … Special ‘crystal’: isotropic elastic medium in space and time directions (Euclidean signature) (a) Lorentz-invariance (b) Curvature is not quantized, Franck vectors are … 2π disclination in a triangular lattice 3 Deep geometrical/topological similarity with space-time (also: Bais et al, ‘quantum doubles’: crystal ==> Witten’s 2+1 D gravity) 12 Why the universe is not a ‘Lorentz’ crystal (a) Crystal ‘geometry’ is characterized by torsion, the universe is not … (b) Disclinations are (quadratically) confined: curvature costs infinite energy! (c) Deadly: crystals have no general covariance, the flat metric is preferred !!! Elastic deformation costs energy: action is not gauge invariant … These problems seem to be cured in the quantum NEMATIC world crystal … (at least in 2+1D) 13 Plan of talk 1.
