I know that the spacetime position coordinates of D-branes become non-commuting matrices for coincident D-branes, but I'm not sure how or if this is related to the employment of NCG in ST.

anyway, if noncommutative matrices can describe the coordinates of D branes, i am sure it would make sense that NGC plays a significant role in string theory. matrices --> geometry connection?

That's what I think too. But I was trying to decipher a paper by edward witten and near as I could tell, this use of NCG was distinctly different from the D-brane thing and had something to do with the antisymmetric B-field in the massless bosonic sector. Anyway, I just ordered a copy of "D-branes" by victor johnson and it apparently includes a more accessable discussion of it. I guess I'll see.
 

Thread 'Gravitational self-interaction: another attempt to replace Dark Matter'

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.09804 From the abstract: ... Our derivation uses both EE and the Newtonian approximation of EE in Part I, to describe semi-classically in Part II the advection of DM, created at the level of the universe, into galaxies and clusters thereof. This advection happens proportional with their own classically generated gravitational field g, due to self-interaction of the gravitational field. It is based on the universal formula ρD =λgg′2 for the densityρ D of DM...

Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'

A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...

Thread 'Twistors and celestial holography'

Many of us have heard of "twistors", arguably Roger Penrose's biggest contribution to theoretical physics. Twistor space is a space which maps nonlocally onto physical space-time; in particular, lightlike structures in space-time, like null lines and light cones, become much more "local" in twistor space. For various reasons, Penrose thought that twistor space was possibly a more fundamental arena for theoretical physics than space-time, and for many years he and a hardy band of mostly...
