The status and programs of the New Relativity Theory

A review of the most recent results of the New Relativity Theory is presented. These include a straightforward derivation of the Black Hole Entropy-Area relation and its $logarithmic$ corrections; the derivation of the string uncertainty relations and generalizations ; ; the relation between the four dimensional gravitational conformal anomaly and the fine structure constant; the role of Noncommutative Geometry, Negative Probabilities and Cantorian-Fractal spacetime in the Young's two-slit experiment. We then generalize the recent construction of the Quenched-Minisuperspace bosonic $p$-brane propagator in $D$ dimensions ($AACS$ [18]) to the full multidimensional case involving all $p$-branes : the construction of the Multidimensional-Particle propagator in Clifford spaces ($C$-spaces) associated with a nested family of $p$-loop histories living in a target $D$-dim background spacetime . We show how the effective $C$-space geometry is related to $extrinsic$ curvature of ordinary spacetime. The motion of rigid particles/branes is studied to explain the natural $emergence$ of classical spin. The relation among $C$-space geometry and ${\cal W}$, Finsler Geometry and (Braided) Quantum Groups is discussed. Some final remarks about the Riemannian long distance limit of $C$-space geometry are made.Comment: Tex file, 21 page

Paging and Registration in Cellular Networks: Jointly Optimal Policies and an Iterative Algorithm

This paper explores optimization of paging and registration policies in cellular networks. Motion is modeled as a discrete-time Markov process, and minimization of the discounted, infinite-horizon average cost is addressed. The structure of jointly optimal paging and registration policies is investigated through the use of dynamic programming for partially observed Markov processes. It is shown that there exist policies with a certain simple form that are jointly optimal, though the dynamic programming approach does not directly provide an efficient method to find the policies. An iterative algorithm for policies with the simple form is proposed and investigated. The algorithm alternates between paging policy optimization and registration policy optimization. It finds a pair of individually optimal policies, but an example is given showing that the policies need not be jointly optimal. Majorization theory and Riesz's rearrangement inequality are used to show that jointly optimal paging and registration policies are given for symmetric or Gaussian random walk models by the nearest-location-first paging policy and distance threshold registration policies.Comment: 13 pages, submitted to IEEE Trans.

Quantum field theory as eigenvalue problem

A mathematically well-defined, manifestly covariant theory of classical and quantum field is given, based on Euclidean Poisson algebras and a generalization of the Ehrenfest equation, which implies the stationary action principle. The theory opens a constructive spectral approach to finding physical states both in relativistic quantum field theories and for flexible phenomenological few-particle approximations. In particular, we obtain a Lorentz-covariant phenomenological multiparticle quantum dynamics for electromagnetic and gravitational interaction which provides a representation of the Poincare group without negative energy states. The dynamics reduces in the nonrelativistic limit to the traditional Hamiltonian multiparticle description with standard Newton and Coulomb forces. The key that allows us to overcome the traditional problems in canonical quantization is the fact that we use the algebra of linear operators on a space of wave functions slightly bigger than traditional Fock spaces.Comment: 32 page

Spacetime Reduction of Large N Flavor Models: A Fundamental Theory of Emergent Local Geometry?

We introduce a novel spacetime reduction procedure for the fields of a supergravity-Yang-Mills theory in generic curved spacetime background, and with large N flavor group, to linearized forms on an infinitesimal patch of local tangent space at a point in the spacetime manifold. Our new prescription for spacetime reduction preserves all of the local symmetries of the continuum field theory Lagrangian in the resulting zero-dimensional matrix Lagrangian, thereby obviating difficulties encountered in previous matrix proposals for emergent spacetime in recovering the full nonlinear symmetries of Einstein gravity. We conjecture that the zero-dimensional matrix model obtained by this prescription for spacetime reduction of the circle-compactified type I-I'-mIIA-IIB-heterotic supergravity-Yang-Mills theory with sixteen supercharges and large N flavor group, and inclusive of the full spectrum of Dpbrane charges, offers a potentially complete framework for nonperturbative string/M theory. We explain the relationship of our conjecture for a fundamental theory of emergent local spacetime geometry to recent investigations of the hidden symmetry algebra of M theory, stressing insights that are to be gained from the algebraic perspective. We conclude with a list of open questions and directions for future work.Comment: 30pgs. v6: Ref [4] added, some terminology corrected in Intro, sections 5,6.
