p-Adic Strings and Noncommutativity

  • Chapter
Noncommutative Structures in Mathematics and Physics

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 22))

Abstract

Some possible connections between p-adic string theory and noncommutativity are considered. Their relation to the uncertainty in space measurements at the Planck scale is discussed. Existence of new p-adic string amplitudes is pointed out. Some similarities between p-adic solitonic branes and noncommutative scalar solitons are emphasized. More explicit and deeper connections between string field theory and p-adic string theory could emerge in the near future.
