Full twisted Poincaré symmetry and quantum field theory on Moyal-Weyl spaces

Abstract

We explore some general consequences of a proper, full enforcement of the "twisted Poincaré" covariance of Chaichian et al [14], Wess [52], Koch et al [35], Oeckl [43] upon many-particle quantum mechanics and field quantization on a Moyal-Weyl noncommutative space(time). This entails the associated braided tensor product with an involutive braiding (or ⋆-tensor product in the parlance of Aschieri et al [3,4]) prescription for any coordinates pair of x, y generating two different copies of the space(time); the associated nontrivial commutation relations between them imply that x − y is central and its Poincaré transformation properties remain undeformed. As a consequence, in QFT (even with space-time noncommutativity) one can reproduce notions (like space-like separation, time-and normal-ordering, Wightman or Green's functions, etc), impose constraints (Wightman axioms), and construct free or interacting theories which essentially coincide with the undeformed ones, since the only observable quantities involve coordinate differences. In other words, one may thus well realize QM and QFT's where the effect of space(time) noncommutativity amounts to a practically unobservable common noncommutative translation of all reference frames.-Preprint 06-54 Dip.

Noncommutative fields and actions of twisted Poincaré algebra

“…IV͒. Lacking such a rule, they suggested 6 to replace it by a condition imposed on the Wightman functions. This condition formally looked the same as that in the commutative case.…”

“…For example, there was a lengthy discussion in Ref. 6 on the need of formulating a transformation rule of fields under the twisted Poincaré algebra, but the authors did not directly address the issue, rather they suggested a way to side step it instead. Also, Ref.…”

Некоммутативные Деформации Квантовых Теорий Поля, Локальность И Причинность

“…Мы не затронули здесь твистованную пуанкаре-ковариантность, но следует отметить, что наивное сочетание рассмотренной выше деформации с такой 428 М. А. СОЛОВЬЕВ ковариантностью может привести к теории, которая физически эквивалентна неде-формированной, аналогично теории, обсуждавшейся в работе [20]. Вопрос о том, как наилучшим образом объединить идею пространственно-временной некоммута-тивности с основными принципами квантовой физики, пока остается открытым.…”
