Study of Quommutators of Quantum Variables and Generalized Derivatives

A general deformation of the Heisenberg algebra is introduced with two deformed operators instead of just one. This is generalised to many variables, and permits the simultaneous existence of coherent states, and the transposition of creation operators.Comment: 17 pages (Previous version was truncated in transmission

A Model for Classical Space-time Co-ordinates

Field equations with general covariance are interpreted as equations for a target space describing physical space time co-ordinates, in terms of an underlying base space with conformal invariance. These equations admit an infinite number of inequivalent Lagrangian descriptions. A model for reparametrisation invariant membranes is obtained by reversing the roles of base and target space variables in these considerations.Comment: 9 pages, Latex.
