Symmetry Reduction and Exact Solutions in Twisted Noncommutative Gravity

Abstract

We review the noncommutative gravity of Wess et al. and discuss its physical applications. We define noncommutative symmetry reduction and construct deformed symmetric solutions of the noncommutative Einstein equations. We apply our framework to find explicit deformed cosmological and black hole solutions and discuss their phenomenology. This article is based on a joint work with Thorsten Ohl.
