Interacting Theory of Chiral Bosons and Gauge Fields on Noncommutative Extended Minkowski Spacetime

Several interacting models of chiral bosons and gauge fields are investigated on the noncommutative extended Minkowski spacetime which was recently proposed from a new point of view of disposing noncommutativity. The models include the bosonized chiral Schwinger model, the generalized chiral Schwinger model (GCSM) and its gauge invariant formulation. We establish the Lagrangian theories of the models, and then derive the Hamilton's equations in accordance with the Dirac's method and solve the equations of motion, and further analyze the self-duality of the Lagrangian theories in terms of the parent action approach.     

Magnetic backgrounds from generalised complex manifolds

The magnetic backgrounds that physically give rise to spacetime noncommutativity are generally treated using noncommutative geometry. In this paper we prove that also the theory of generalised complex manifolds contains the necessary elements to generate B-fields geometrically. As an example, the Poisson brackets of the Landau model (electric charges on a plane subject to an external, particularly applied magnetic field) are rederived using the techniques of generalised complex manifolds.

Effective Action for Noncommutative U(1) Gauge Theory with Higher Dimensional Terms

In this paper we apply the assumption of our recent work in noncommutative scalar models to the noncommutative U(1) gauge theories. This assumption is that the noncommutative effects start to be visible continuously from a scale λ_NC and that below this scale the theory is a commutative one. Based on thisassumption and using background field method and loop calculations, an effective action is derived for noncommutative U(1) gauge theory. It will be shown that the corresponding low energy effective theory is asymptotically free and that under this condition the noncommutative quadratic IR divergences will not appear. The effective theory contains higher dimensional terms, which become more important at high energies. These terms predict an elastic photon-photon scattering due to the noncommutativity of space. Thecoefficients of these higher dimensional terms also satisfy a positivity constraint indicating that in this theory the related diseases of superluminal signal propagating and bad analytic properties of S-matrix do not exist. In the last section, we will apply our method to the noncommutative extra dimension theories.     

Grand unification on noncommutative spacetime

We compute the beta-functions of the standard model formulated on a noncommutative spacetime. If we assume that the scale for spacetime noncommutativity is of the order of 2.2×10¹⁵ GeV, we find that the three gauge couplings of the standard model merge at a scale of 2.3×10¹⁷ GeV. The proton lifetime is thus much longer than in conventional unification models.     

Noncommutative Maxwell–Chern–Simons theory, duality and a new noncommutative Chern–Simons theory in d=3

Noncommutative Maxwell–Chern–Simons theory in 3 dimensions is defined in terms of star product and noncommutative fields. The Seiberg–Witten map is employed to write it in terms of ordinary fields. A parent action is introduced and the dual action is derived. For spatial noncommutativity it is studied up to second order in the noncommutativity parameter θ. A new noncommutative Chern–Simons action is defined in terms of ordinary fields, inspired by the dual action. Moreover, a transformation between noncommuting and ordinary fields is proposed.     

Composite system in noncommutative space and the equivalence principle

The motion of a composite system made of N particles is examined in a space with a canonical noncommutative algebra of coordinates. It is found that the coordinates of the center-of-mass position satisfy noncommutative algebra with effective parameter. Therefore, the upper bound of the parameter of noncommutativity is re-examined. We conclude that the weak equivalence principle is violated in the case of a non-uniform gravitational field and propose the condition for the recovery of this principle in noncommutative space. Furthermore, the same condition is derived from the independence of kinetic energy on the composition.     

Chern-Simons soliton and a critical study of the energy momentum tensor in noncommutative field theory

We have shown unambiguously the existence of solitons in the non-commutative (NC) extension of Chern-Simons-Higgs model. The analysis is done at the classical level (since solitons are essentially classical objects) and in the first non-trivial order in θ, the only spatial noncommutativity parameter. At the same time, we have exposed an inadequacy in the conventional definitions of the energy momentum tensor (EMT) in the present context but this pathology appears to be generic to NC field theories. This is reflected in the fact that the BPS soliton equations (obtained from the EMT) are not compatible with the full variational equations of motion, requiring further imposition a restriction on the form of the Higgs field, contrary to the commutative spacetime case. Both in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of the problem, we concentrate on the canonical and symmetric forms of the energy-momentum tensor. In the Hamiltonian scheme, constraint analysis and the induced Dirac brackets are derived. In fact the EMT behaves properly as the spacetime translation generators and their actions on the fields are discussed in detail. The effects of noncommutativity on the soliton solutions have been analyzed carefully and we have come up with some interesting results. Comparing the relative strengths of the noncommutative effects, we have shown that there is a universal character in the noncommutative correction to the magnetic field—it depends only on θ. On the other hand, in the cases of all other observables of physical interest, such as the potential profile, soliton mass or the electric field, the parameters θ as well as τ (the latter comprising solely of commutative Chern-Simons-Higgs model parameters) appear with similar weightage.     

Higher order theories and their relationship with noncommutativity

We present a relationship between noncommutativity and higher order time derivative theories using a perturbation method. We make a generalization of the Chern–Simons quantum mechanics for higher order time derivatives. This model presents noncommutativity in a natural way when we project to low-energy physical states without the necessity of taking the strong field limit. We quantize the theory using a Bopp's shift of the noncommutative variables and we obtain a spectrum without negative energies, under the perturbation limits. In addition, we extent the model to high order time derivatives and noncommutativity with variable dependent parameter.     

Noncommutativity and Lorentz violation in relativistic heavy ion collisions

We show that relativistic heavy ion collisions at LHC energies could be used as an experimental probe to detect fundamental properties of spacetime long speculated about. Our results rely on the recent proposal that magnetic fields of intensity much larger than that of magnetars should be produced at the beginning of the collisions and this could have an important impact on the experimental manifestation of a noncommutative spacetime. Indeed, in the noncommutative generalization of electrodynamics the interplay between a nonzero noncommutative parameter and an external magnetic field leads us to predict the production of lepton pairs of low invariant mass by free photons (an event forbidden by Lorentz invariant electrodynamics) in relativistic heavy ion collisions at present and future available energies. This unique channel can be clearly considered as a signature of noncommutativity. On the other hand, the search for such decays is worth anyway because their absence would ameliorate of three orders of magnitude the current bound on the noncommutative parameter.     

Noncommutative two-dimensional gauge theories

We elaborate on the dynamics of noncommutative two-dimensional gauge field theories. We consider U(N) gauge theories with fermions in either the fundamental or the adjoint representation. Noncommutativity leads to a rather non-trivial dependence on theta (the noncommutativity parameter) and to a rich dynamics. In particular the mass spectrum of the noncommutative U(1) theory with adjoint matter is similar to that of ordinary (commutative) two-dimensional large-NSU(N) gauge theory with adjoint matter. The noncommutative version of the ?t Hooft model receives a non-trivial contribution to the vacuum polarization starting from three-loops order. As a result the mass spectrum of the noncommutative theory is expected to be different from that of the commutative theory.     

Parikh-Wilczek Tunneling as Massive Particles from Noncommutative Schwarzschild Black Hole

In this paper, we apply the tunneling of massive particle through the quantum horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole in noncommutative spacetime. The tunneling effects lead to modified Hawking radiation due to inclusion of back-reaction effects. Our calculations show also that noncommutativity effects cause the further modifications to the hermodynamical relations in black hole. We calculate the emission rate of the massive particles' tunneling from aSchwarzschild black hole which is modified on account of noncommutativity influences. The issues of information loss and possible correlations between emitted particles are discussed. Unfortunately even by considering noncommutativity view point, there is no correlation between different modes of evaporation at least at late-time. Nevertheless, as a result of spacetime noncommutativity, information may be conserved by a stable black hole remnant.     

System of interacting harmonic oscillators in rotationally invariant noncommutative phase space

Rotationally invariant space with noncommutativity of coordinates and noncommutativity of momenta of canonical type is considered. A system of N interacting harmonic oscillators in uniform field and a system of N particles with harmonic oscillator interaction are studied. We analyze effect of noncommutativity on the energy levels of these systems. It is found that influence of coordinates noncommutativity on the energy levels of the systems increases with increasing of the number of particles. The spectrum of N free particles in uniform field in rotationally invariant noncommutative phase space is also analyzed. It is shown that the spectrum corresponds to the spectrum of a system of N harmonic oscillators with frequency determined by the parameter of momentum noncommutativity.     

Spin Hall effect in noncommutative coordinates

A semiclassical constrained Hamiltonian system which was established to study dynamical systems of matrix valued non-Abelian gauge fields is employed to formulate spin Hall effect in noncommuting coordinates at the first order in the constant noncommutativity parameter θ. The method is first illustrated by studying the Hall effect on the noncommutative plane in a gauge independent fashion. Then, the Drude model type and the Hall effect type formulations of spin Hall effect are considered in noncommuting coordinates and θ deformed spin Hall conductivities which they provide are acquired. It is shown that by adjusting θ different formulations of spin Hall conductivity are accomplished. Hence, the noncommutative theory can be envisaged as an effective theory which unifies different approaches to similar physical phenomena.     

Quantum gravity,field theory and signatures of noncommutative spacetime

A pedagogical introduction to some of the main ideas and results of field theories on quantized spacetimes is presented, with emphasis on what such field theories may teach us about the problem of quantizing gravity. We examine to what extent noncommutative gauge theories may be regarded as gauge theories of gravity. UV/IR mixing is explained in detail and we describe its relations to renormalization, to gravitational dynamics, and to deformed dispersion relations in models of quantum spacetime of interest in string theory and in doubly special relativity. We also discuss some potential experimental probes of spacetime noncommutativity.     

A scaling limit with many noncommutativity parameters

We derive the worldsheet propagator for an open string with different magnetic fields at the two ends, and use it to compute two distinct noncommutativity parameters, one at each end of the string. The usual scaling limit that leads to noncommutative Yang–Mills can be generalized to a scaling limit in which both noncommutativity parameters enter. This corresponds to expanding a theory with U(N) Chan–Paton factors around a background U(1)^N gauge field with different magnetic fields in each U(1).     

κ-Poincaré–Hopf algebra and Hopf algebroid structure of phase space from twist

We unify κ-Poincaré algebra and κ-Minkowski spacetime by embedding them into quantum phase space. The quantum phase space has Hopf algebroid structure to which we apply the twist in order to get κ-deformed Hopf algebroid structure and κ-deformed Heisenberg algebra. We explicitly construct κ-Poincaré–Hopf algebra and κ-Minkowski spacetime from twist. It is outlined how this construction can be extended to κ-deformed super-algebra including exterior derivative and forms. Our results are relevant for constructing physical theories on noncommutative spacetime by twisting Hopf algebroid phase space structure.     

An alternative formulation of Hall effect and quantum phases in noncommutative space

A recent method of constructing quantum mechanics in noncommutative coordinates, alternative to implying noncommutativity by means of star product is discussed. Within this approach we study Hall effect as well as quantum phases in noncommutative coordinates. The θ-deformed phases which we obtain are velocity independent.
