Electrodynamics in quantum space-time
It is shown that introducing quantum space-time into physics leads to a certain fictitious gravitational field with the metric tensor g/sub ..mu..nu/(z). This formalism allows us to reformulate Maxwell's equations in quantum space-time in accordance with the general covariance principle. A transformation method connecting the electromagnetic field tensor F/sup /sup +/nu/(z) to the usual one F/sup /sup +/nu/(x) for the quantum system of reference is given. The electromagnetic force acting on the charged particle in quantum space-time is also defined and its equation of motion is investigated for a concrete case. In our scheme, a gauge-invariant description of electromagnetic processes in quantum space-time at small distances is achieved by using gauge transformation over the whole space-time on the large scale.
