Background field quantization and non-commutative Maxwell theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We quantize non-commutative Maxwell theory canonically in the background field gauge for weak and slowly varying background fields. We determine the complete basis for expansion under such an approximation. As an application, we derive the Wigner function which determines the leading order high temperature behavior of the perturbative amplitudes of non-commutative Maxwell theory. To leading order, we also give a closed form expression for the distribution function for the non-commutative U(1) gauge theory at high temperature.

Trace Anomaly and Quantization of Maxwell’s Theory on Non-commutative Spaces
The canonical and symmetrical energy-momentum tensors and their non-zero traces in Maxwell’s theory on non-commutative spaces have been found. Dirac’s quantization of the theory under consideration has been performed. I have found the extended Hamiltonian and equations of motion in the general gauge covariant form.
متن کاملNon-constant Non-commutativity in 2d Field Theories and a New Look at Fuzzy Monopoles
We write down scalar field theory and gauge theory on two-dimensional noncommutative spacesM with nonvanishing curvature and non-constant non-commutativity. Usual dynamics results upon taking the limit ofM going to i) a commutative manifoldM0 having nonvanishing curvature and ii) the noncommutative plane. Our procedure does not require introducing singular algebraic maps or frame fields. Rather...
متن کاملDirac’s Quantization of Maxwell’s Theory on Non-commutative Spaces
Dirac’s quantization of the Maxwell theory on non-commutative spaces has been considered. First class constraints were found which are the same as in classical electrodynamics. The gauge covariant quantization of the non-linear equations of electromagnetic fields on non-commutative spaces were studied. We have found the extended Hamiltonian which leads to equations of motion in the most general...

We quantize non-commutative QED canonically in the background field gauge for weak and slowly varying background fields. We determine the complete basis for expansion under such an approximation. As an application, we derive the Wigner function which determines the leading order high temperature behavior of the perturbative amplitudes of non-commutative QED.

متن کاملCyclicity of non-associative products on D-branes
The non-commutative geometry of deformation quantization appears in string theory through the effect of a B-field background on the dynamics of D-branes in the topological limit. For arbitrary backgrounds, associativity of the star product is lost, but only cyclicity is necessary for a description of the effective action in terms of a generalized product. In previous work we showed that this pr...
