The Extended Relativity Theory in Clifford Phase Spaces and Modifications of Gravity at the Planck/Hubble Scales

Abstract

We extend the construction of Born’s Reciprocal Phase Space Relativity to the case of Clifford Spaces which involve the use of polyvectors and a lower/upper length scale. The generalized polyvector-valued velocity and acceleration/force boosts in Clifford Phase Spaces is presented and we find an explicit Clifford algebraic realization of the velocity and acceleration/force boosts in ordinary phase space. Finally, we provide a Clifford Phase-Space Gravitational Theory based in gauging the generalization of the Quaplectic group and invoking Born’s reciprocity principle between coordinates and momenta (maximal speed of light velocity and maximal force). The generalized gravitational vacuum field equations are explicitly displayed. We conclude with a brief discussion on the role of higher-order Finsler geometry in the construction of extended relativity theories with an upper and lower bound to the higher order accelerations (associated with the higher order tangent and cotangent spaces).
