Abstract
We further develop a noncommutative model unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity proposed in Gen Rel Grav 36 111–126 2004 Generalized symmetries of the model are defined by a groupoid Γ given by the action of a finite group on a space E The geometry of the model is constructed in terms of suitable noncommutative algebras on Γ We investigate observables of the model especially its position and momentum observables This is not a trivial thing since the model is based on a noncommutative geometry and has strong nonlocal properties We show that in the position representation of the model the position observable is a coderivation of a corresponding coalgebra “coparallelly” to the wellknown fact that the momentum observable is a derivation of the algebra We also study the momentum representation of the model It turns out that in the case of the algebra of smooth quickly decreasing functions on Γ the model in its “quantum sector” is nonlocal ie there are no nontrivial coderivations of the corresponding coalgebra whereas in its “gravity sector” such coderivations do exist They are investigated
