Morita Equivalence, Picard Groupoids and Noncommutative Field Theories

چکیده
In this article we review recent developments on Morita equivalence of star products and their Picard groups. We point out the relations between noncommutative field theories and deformed vector bundles which give the Morita equivalence bimodules.

The H-Covariant Strong Picard Groupoid
The notion of H-covariant strong Morita equivalence is introduced for ∗-algebras over C = R(i) with an ordered ring R which are equipped with a ∗-action of a Hopf ∗-algebra H . This defines a corresponding H-covariant strong Picard groupoid which encodes the entire Morita theory. Dropping the positivity conditions one obtains H-covariant ∗-Morita equivalence with its H-covariant ∗-Picard groupo...
متن کاملCompletely positive inner products and strong Morita equivalence
We develop a general framework for the study of strong Morita equivalence in which C∗algebras and hermitian star products on Poisson manifolds are treated in equal footing. We compare strong and ring-theoretic Morita equivalences in terms of their Picard groupoids for a certain class of unital ∗-algebras encompassing both examples. Within this class, we show that both notions of Morita equivale...
متن کاملMomentum Maps and Morita Equivalence
We introduce quasi-symplectic groupoids and explain their relation with momentum map theories. This approach enables us to unify into a single framework various momentum map theories, including ordinary Hamiltonian G-spaces, Lu’s momentum maps of Poisson group actions, and the group-valued momentum maps of Alekseev–Malkin–Meinrenken. More precisely, we carry out the following program: (1) We de...
متن کاملThe m-reduction in Conformal Field Theory as the Morita equivalence on two-tori
We study the Morita equivalence for field theories on noncommutative two-tori. For rational values of the noncommutativity parameter θ (in appropriate units) we show the equivalence between an abelian noncommutative field theory and a nonabelian theory of twisted fields on ordinary space. We concentrate on a particular conformal field theory (CFT), the one obtained by means of the m-reduction p...
متن کاملNoncommutative fermions and Morita equivalence
We study the Morita equivalence for fermion theories on noncommutative two-tori. For rational values of the θ parameter (in appropriate units) we show the equivalence between an abelian noncommutative fermion theory and a nonabelian theory of twisted fermions on ordinary space. We study the chiral anomaly and compute the determinant of the Dirac operator in the dual theories showing that the Mo...
