On the Correspondence between Poincaré Symmetry of Commutative QFT and Twisted Poincaré Symmetry of Noncommutative QFT

The space-time symmetry of noncommutative quantum field theories with a deformed quantization is described by the twisted Poincaré algebra, while that of standard commutative quantum field theories is described by the Poincaré algebra. Based on the equivalence of the deformed theory with a commutative field theory, the correspondence between the twisted Poincaré symmetry of the deformed theory and the Poincaré symmetry of a commutative theory is established. As a by-product, we obtain the conserved charge associated with the twisted Poincaré transformation to make the twisted Poincaré symmetry evident in the deformed theory. Our result implies that the equivalence between the commutative theory and the deformed theory holds in a deeper level, i.e., it holds not only in correlation functions but also in (different types of) symmetries. ∗email: [email protected]
