Abstract

We argue that quantum gravity theories that carry a Lie-algebraic modification of the Poincaré and Heisenberg algebras inevitably provide inhomogeneities that may serve as seeds for cosmological structure formation. Furthermore, in this class of theories one must expect a strong polarization and spin dependence of various quantum gravity effects.
