Coordinate Noncommutativity in Strong Non-Uniform Magnetic Fields

چکیده

Noncommutativity of space coordinates has been much studied from various points of view [1-3]. It arises naturally in string theory, where it is related to the presence of strong backgrounds fields. If these are constant, one obtains the more familiar case where the coordinate noncommutativity [x, x ] is a constant antisymmetric quantity. However, if the background fields depend on the spatial coordinates, one would expect coordinate noncommutativity to be a local quantity. This possibility has been recently studied in the context of noncommutative gauge field theories [4]. On the other hand, coordinate noncommutativity may also arise in more physical situations involving the motion of electric charges in a strong external magnetic field [5,6]. When a charged (e) and massive (m) particle moves on a plane (x, y) in the presence of a strong constant magnetic field B pointing along the z-axis, it has been shown that the noncommutativity of space coordinates is of order of the inverse of the magnetic field:

Three-dimensional Magneto-thermo-elastic Analysis of Functionally Graded Truncated Conical Shells

This work deals with the three-dimensional magneto-thermo-elastic problem of a functionally graded truncated conical shell under non-uniform internal pressure and subjected to magnetic and thermal fields. The material properties are assumed to obey the power law form that depends on the thickness coordinate of the shell. The formulation of the problem begins with the derivation of fundamental r...

D-branes, Cyclic Symmetry and Noncommutative Geometry

We investigate the open string modes, describing the world-volume of a D p-brane, for its cyclic symmetry in presence of a magnetic field. It is argued that the constant coordinate modes receive non-perturbative correction. We show that they introduce the notion of noncommutativity on the D p-brane world-volume and make it UV-renormalizable. An analogy between cyclic symmetry (α-corrections) an...

Noncommutativity and the lightfront

We discuss various limits which transform configuration space into phase space, with emphasis on those related to lightfront field theory, and show that they are unified by spectral flow. Examples include quantising in ‘almost lightfront’ coordinates and the appearance of lightlike noncommutativity from a strong background laser field. We compare this with the limit of a strong magnetic field, ...

We have studied particle motion in generalized forms of noncommutative phase space, that simulate monopole and other forms of Berry curvature, that can be identified as effective internal magnetic fields, in coordinate and momentum space. The Ahranov-Bohm effect has been considered in this form of phase space, with operatorial structures of noncommutativity. Physical significance of our results...

Superluminal Noncommutative Photons

With the help of the Seiberg-Witten map, one can obtain an effective action of a deformed QED from a noncommutative QED. Starting from the deformed QED, we investigate the propagation of photons in the background of electromagnetic field, up to the leading order of the noncommutativity parameter. In our setting (both the electric and magnetic fields are parallel to the coordinate axis x and the...
