Gherardo Piacitelli, Trieste:   Canonical Weyl operators on the kappa-Minkowski noncommutative spacetime

 
k-Minkowski spacetime is a model of noncommutative spacetime, defined by commutation relations among the time coordinate T and the space coordinates Xj:

[T,Xj]=iXj.

We study the representation theory and describe the enveloping C*-algebra, as well as the classical limit. Some pathologies of the model will be pointed out.
