Abstract: (APS)
In physically motivated models of quantum spacetime, a U(1) gauge theory turns into a U(∞) gauge theory; hence, free classical electrodynamics is no longer free and neutral fields may have electromagnetic interactions. We discuss the last point for scalar fields, as a way to possibly describe dark matter; we have in mind the gravitational collapse of binary systems or future applications to self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates as possible sources of evidence of quantum gravitational phenomena. The effects considered so far, however, seem too faint to be detectable at present.Note:
