Abstract

Within the tetrad formalism we introduce quantized space-time in the curvilinear case by using general coordinate transformations with noncommuting terms. Fermion and boson fields are studied and the affine connection is also defined in this space. It is shown that space-time torsion and magnetic monopoles appear as consequences of the theory with quantized space-time at small distances. This method may open a new way of understanding topological structure of space-time.
