An introduction to nonassociative physics

Abstract: We give a pedagogical introduction to the nonassociative structures arising from recent developments in quantum mechanics with magnetic monopoles, in string theory and M-theory with nongeometric fluxes, and in M-theory with non-geometric Kaluza-Klein monopoles. After a brief overview of the main historical appearences of nonassociativity in quantum mechanics, string theory and M-theory, we provide a detailed account of the classical and quantum dynamics of electric charges in the backgrounds of various distrib… Show more

“…Another approach is to enlarge the phase space for the electric charge, and this was done recently by Kupriyanov and Szabo [1]. The result has implications for certain nongeometric string theories and their quantization, which leads to nonassociative algebras, see e.g., [5]- [13].…”
