Description

In my talk I would like to explain how gravitation in 3D makes kinematics of particles deformed. I will show that the effective theory of 3D gravity coupled to a particle (with mass and/or spin) describes the system with a curved momentum space and non-commutative spacetime, with the scale provided by the Newton's constant. The case of many particles and their 'topological' interactions will be briefly discussed.
