Research interests
Dynamics at very short distances (Planck mass) is being
investigated from the point of view of noncommutative
algebraic structures. Methods from noncommutative geometry
to noncommutative differential geometry are used and
developed. Quantum groups are used as well-defined
mathematical objects to get insight into general structures.
In this approach lattice structures are seen to arise on very
general grounds.
