Abstract: | We consider a formalism by which gauge theories can be constructed on noncommutative space time structures. The coordinates are supposed to form an algebra, restricted by certain requirements that allow us to realise the algebra in terms of star products. In this formulation it is useful to define derivatives and to extend the algebra of coordinates by these derivatives. The elements of this extended algebra are deformed differential operators. We then show that there is a morphism between these deformed differential operators and the usual higher order differential operators acting on functions of commuting coordinates. In this way we obtain deformed gauge transformations and a deformed version of the algebra of diffeomorphisms. The deformation of these algebras can be clearly seen in the category of Hopf algebras. The comultiplication will be twisted. These twisted algebras can be realised on noncommutative spaces and allow the construction of deformed gauge theories and deformed gravity theory. Dedicated to the 60th birthday of Prof. Obregon. |
