Noncommutative gravity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider simple extensions of noncommutativity from flat to curved spacetime. One possibility is to have a generalization of the Moyal product with a covariantly constant noncommutative tensor hetamuu. In this case the spacetime symmetry is restricted to volume preserving diffeomorphisms which also preserve hetamuu. Another possibility is an extension of the Kontsevich product to curved spacetime. In both cases the noncommutative product is nonassociative. We find the the order heta2 noncommutative correction to the Newtonian potential in the case of a covariantly constant hetamuu. It is still of the form 1/r plus an angle dependent piece. The coupling to matter gives rise to a propagator which is heta dependent.
