Noncommutative Cosmology

Abstract

We show that the cosmological large number coincidence can be interpreted as giving the filling factor in a Landau problem. The analogy with the Landau problem leads naturally to the noncommutativity of the gravitational and matter degrees of freedom. We present a toy model that supports this view. We discuss some of the physical consequences this noncommutativity implies, like a different insight into the semiclassical approximation of quantum gravity and a different tackling of the cosmological constant problem.
