We use various results concerning isometry groups of Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian manifolds to prove that there are spaces on which differential structure can act as a source of gravitational...

Spacetime models, fundamental interactions and noncommutative geometry (1996)

Sladkowski, Jan

We discuss the problem of determining the spacetime structure. We show that when we are using only topological methods the spacetime can be modelled as an R- or Q-compact space although the R-compact...

Trace anomaly of the conformal gauge field (1993)

Sladkowski, Jan

The proposed by Bastianelli and van Nieuwenhuizen new method of calculations of trace anomalies is applied in the conformal gauge field case. The result is then reproduced by the heat equation...

Field-enlarging transformations and chiral theories (1993)

Sladkowski, Jan

A field-enlarging transformation in the chiral electrodynamics is performed. This introduces an additional gauge symmetry to the model that is unitary and anomaly-free and allows for comparison of...

Does noncommutative geometry predict nonlinear Higgs mechanism? (1993)

Sladkowski, Jan

It is argued that the noncommutative geometry construction of the standard model predicts a nonlinear symmetry breaking mechanism rather than the orthodox Higgs mechanism. Such models have...

Quantum Market Games

Edward W. Piotrowski, Jan Sladkowski

We propose a quantum-like description of markets and economics. The approach has roots in the recently developed quantum game theory. Quantum Zeno paradoxes and noncomutative quantum mecanics are...

What Was the Temperature of the Bagsik Financial Oscillator?

Edward W. Piotrowski, Jan Sladkowski

We argue that the recently published by Przystawa and Wolf model of the Bagsik financial oscillator is oversimplified and unrealistic. We propose and analyze a refined explanation of this rare...
