Braiding and exponentiating noncommutative vector fields
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to put into a noncommutative context basic notions related to vector fields from classical differential geometry. The manner of exposition is an attempt to make the material as accessible as possible to classical geometers. The definition of vector field used is a specialisation of the Cartan pair definition, and the paper relies on the idea of generalised braidings of 1-forms. The paper considers Kroneker deltas, interior products, Lie derivatives, Lie brackets, exponentiation of vector fields and parallel transport.

Duality and Braiding in Twisted Quantum Field Theory
We re-examine various issues surrounding the definition of twisted quantum field theories on flat noncommutative spaces. We propose an interpretation based on nonlocal commutative field redefinitions which clarifies previously observed properties such as the formal equivalence of Green’s functions in the noncommutative and commutative theories, causality, and the absence of UV/IR mixing. We use...

A notion of Cartan pairs as an analogy of vector fields in the realm of noncommutative geometry has been proposed in [2]. In this paper we give an outline of the construction of a noncommutative analogy of the algebra of partial differential operators as well as its natural (Fock type) representation. We shall also define co-universal vector fields and covariant derivatives.

متن کاملSpace-Time Symmetries of Noncommutative Spaces
We define a noncommutative Lorentz symmetry for canonical noncommutative spaces. Although the Lie algebra of the Poincaré group is undeformed, the noncommutative vector fields and the derivatives transform under a deformed Lorentz transformation. We apply our idea to the case of actions obtained by expanding the star product and the fields taken in the enveloping of the Lie algebra via the Seib...
متن کاملA Natural Basis for Spinor and Vector Fields on the Noncommutative sphere
The product of two Heisenberg-Weil algebras contains the Jordan-Schwinger representation of su(2). This Algebra is quotiented by the square-root of the Casimir to produce a non-associative algebra denoted by Ψ. This algebra may be viewed as the right-module over one of its associative subalgebras which corresponds to the algebra of scalar fields on the noncommutative sphere. It is now possible ...
