Noncommutative deformation of four-dimensional Einstein gravity

Abstract: We construct a model for noncommutative gravity in four dimensions, which reduces to the Einstein-Hilbert action in the commutative limit. Our proposal is based on a gauge formulation of gravity with constraints. While the action is metric independent, the constraints insure that it is not topological. We find that the choice of the gauge group and of the constraints are crucial to recover a correct deformation of standard gravity. Using the Seiberg-Witten map the whole theory is described in terms of the vier… Show more

“…This model with the gauge symmetries intact was generalized to NC spacetime (via the * -product and the SeibergWitten map) but it turned out that due to symmetry requirements the O(θ ) corrections miraculously cancel and hence to first order in θ the Einstein action and its NC extension are identical [70][71][72][73][74][75]. Thus we come to the conclusion that symmetries of canonical noncommutative spacetime naturally lead to the noncommutative version of unimodular gravity for O(θ ) results.…”

“…They should be consistent with the quotienting (8), as well as the unimodilarity condition and, of course, the Jacobi identity. For convenience we write the SL(2, R) matrix as…”

“…The region III is then absent in this case. ‡ On the other hand, the Poisson brackets (20) and (21) are undefined in the extremum case J = M ℓ, or r + = r − , for finite coefficients ‡ Zero angular momentum also allows for Poisson brackets which are linear with respect to the four dimensional embedding coordinates and consistent with (8). This will be discussed in a later article.…”
