Classical mechanics in non-commutative phase space

In this paper the laws of motion of classical particles have been investigated in a non-commutative phase space. The corresponding non-commutative relations contain not only spatial non-commutativity but also momentum non-commutativity. First, new Poisson brackets have been defined in non-commutative phase space. They contain corrections due to the non-commutativity of coordinates and momenta. On the basis of this new Poisson brackets, a new modified second law of Newton has been obtained. For two cases, the free particle and the harmonic oscillator, the equations of motion are derived on basis of the modified second law of Newton and the linear transformation (Phys. Rev. D, 2005, 72: 025010). The consistency between both methods is demonstrated. It is shown that a free particle in commutative space is not a free particle with zero-acceleration in the non-commutative phase space, but it remains a free particle with zero-acceleration in non-commutative space if only the coordinates are non-commutative.     

The Kepler problem in the Snyder space

In this paper the Kepler problem in the non-commutative Snyder scenario was studied. The deformations were characterized in the Poisson bracket algebra under a mimic procedure from quantum standard formulations by taking into account a general recipe to build the non-commutative phase space coordinates (in the sense of Poisson brackets). An expression for the deformed potential was obtained, and then the consequences in the precession of the orbit of Mercury were calculated. The result could be used for finding an estimated value for the non-commutative deformation parameter.     

Gravitomagnetism and Non-commutative Geometry

Similarity between the gravitoelectromagnetism and the electromagnetism is discussed. We show that the gravitomagnetic field (similar to the magnetic field) can be equivalent to the non-commutative effect of the momentum sector of the phase space when one maintains only the first order of the non-commutative parameters. This is performed through two approaches. In one approach, by employing the Feynman proof, the existence of a Lorentz-like force in the gravitoelectromagnetism is indicated. The appearance of such a force is subjected to the slow motion and the weak field approximations for stationary fields. The analogy between this Lorentz-like force and the motion equation of a test particle in a non-commutative space leads to the mentioned equivalency. In fact, this equivalency is achieved by the comparison of the two motion equations. In the other and quietly independent approach, we demonstrate that a gravitomagnetic background can be treated as a Dirac constraint. That is, the gravitoelectromagnetic field can be regarded as a constrained system from the sense of the Dirac theory. Indeed, the application of the Dirac formalism for the gravitoelectromagnetic field reveals that the phase space coordinates have non-commutative structure from the view of the Dirac bracket. Particularly, the gravitomagnetic field as a weak field induces the non-trivial Dirac bracket of the momentum sector which displays the non-commutativity.     

Energy level splitting of a 2D hydrogen atom with Rashba coupling in non-commutative space

We explore the non-commutative (NC) effects on the energy spectrum of a two-dimensional hydrogen atom. We consider a confined particle in a central potential and study the modified energy states of the hydrogen atom in both coordinates and momenta of non-commutativity spaces. By considering the Rashba interaction, we observe that the degeneracy of states can also be removed due to the spin of the particle in the presence of NC space. We obtain the upper bounds for both coordinates and momenta versions of NC parameters by the splitting of the energy levels in the hydrogen atom with Rashba coupling. Finally, we find a connection between the NC parameters and Lorentz violation parameters with the Rashba interaction.     

Forced Time-Dependent Harmonic Oscillators in Non-Commutative Space

For the time-dependent harmonic oscillator and generalized harmonic oscillator with or without external forces in non-commutative space, wave functions, and geometric phases are derived using the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant. Coherent states are obtained as the ground state of the forced system. Quantum fluctuations are calculated too. It is seen that geometric phases and quantum fluctuations are greatly affected by the non-commutativity of the space.     

The reduced phase space of an open string in the background B-field

The problem of an open string in background B-field is discussed. Using the discretized model in details we show that the system is influenced by an infinite number of second class constraints. We interpret the allowed Fourier modes as the coordinates of the reduced phase space. This enables us to compute the Dirac brackets more easily. We prove that the coordinates of the string are non-commutative at the boundaries. We argue that in order to find the Dirac bracket or commutator algebra of the physical variables, one should not expand the fields in terms of the solutions of the equations of motion. Instead, one should impose a set of constraints in suitable coordinates. PACS 11.10.Ef, 04.60.Ds     

The He--McKellar--Wilkens effect for spin-1 particles on non-commutative space

By using star product method, the He-McKellar-Wilkens （HMW） effect for spin-one neutral particle on noncommutative （NC） space is studied. After solving the Kemmer-like equations on NC space, we obtain the topological HMW phase on NC space where the additional terms related to the space-space non-commutativity are given explicitly.     

Landau analog levels for dipoles in non-commutative space and phase space

We investigate the analog of Landau quantization, for a neutral polarized particle in the presence of homogeneous electric and magnetic external fields, in the context of non-commutative quantum mechanics. This particle, possessing electric and magnetic dipole moments, interacts with the fields via the Aharonov–Casher and He–McKellar–Wilkens effects. For this model we obtain the Landau energy spectrum and the radial eigenfunctions of the non-commutative space coordinates and non-commutative phase space coordinates. Also we show that the case of non-commutative phase space can be treated as a special case of the usual non-commutative space coordinates.

Generalization of Some Algebras in the Bosonic String Theory

We assume that the total target phase space is non-commutative. This leads to the generalization of the oscillator-algebra of the string, and the corresponding Virasoso algebra. The effects of this non-commutativity on some string states will be studied.     

Dirac Oscillator in a Galilean Covariant Non-commutative Space

We study the Galilean Dirac oscillator in a non-commutative situation, with space-space and momentum-momentum non-commutativity. The wave equation is obtained via a ‘Galilean covariant’ approach, which consists in projecting the covariant equations from a (4,1)-dimensional manifold with light-cone coordinates, to a (3,1)-dimensional Galilean space-time. We obtain the exact wave functions and their energy levels for the plane and discuss the effects of non-commutativity.     

Non-singular Brans–Dicke collapse in deformed phase space

We study the collapse process of a homogeneous perfect fluid (in FLRW background) with a barotropic equation of state in Brans–Dicke (BD) theory in the presence of phase space deformation effects. Such a deformation is introduced as a particular type of non-commutativity between phase space coordinates. For the commutative case, it has been shown in the literature (Scheel, 1995), that the dust collapse in BD theory leads to the formation of a spacetime singularity which is covered by an event horizon. In comparison to general relativity (GR), the authors concluded that the final state of black holes in BD theory is identical to the GR case but differs from GR during the dynamical evolution of the collapse process. However, the presence of non-commutative effects influences the dynamics of the collapse scenario and consequently a non-singular evolution is developed in the sense that a bounce emerges at a minimum radius, after which an expanding phase begins. Such a behavior is observed for positive values of the BD coupling parameter. For large positive values of the BD coupling parameter, when non-commutative effects are present, the dynamics of collapse process differs from the GR case. Finally, we show that for negative values of the BD coupling parameter, the singularity is replaced by an oscillatory bounce occurring at a finite time, with the frequency of oscillation and amplitude being damped at late times.     

Gauge symmetry as symmetry of matrix coordinates

We propose a new point of view on gauge theories, based on taking the action of symmetry transformations directly on the space coordinates. Via this approach the gauge fields are not introduced at the first step, and they can be interpreted as fluctuations around some classical solutions of the model. The new point of view is connected to the lattice formulation of gauge theories, and the parameter of the non-commutativity of the coordinates appears as the lattice spacing parameter. Through the statements concerning the continuum limit of lattice gauge theories, the suggestion arises that the non-commutative spaces are the natural ones to formulate gauge theories at strong coupling. Via this point of view, a close relation between the large-N limit of gauge theories and string theory can be made manifest. Received: 16 June 2000 / Published online: 8 September 2000     

Phase space action for minimal surfaces of any dimension in curved spacetime

The phase space action, depending on coordinates, momenta and Lagrange multipliers (which turn out to be components of the induced metric), has been written down for a world sheet of arbitary dimension (a string generalized to membranes) in a curved embedding spacetime. Canonical and hamiltonian formalisms have been formulated in a covariant and general way with the true dynamical variables being separated from the redundant ones. The membrane constraints follow directly from the variation of our action; their suitable superposition gives a hamiltonian from which we derive the equations of motion for a membrane via the Poisson brackets. The same hamiltonian we obtain also in a different way from a variation of the action. For n = 2 all equations coincide with those of strings.
