Abstract: It is proposed how to impose a general type of noncommutativity within classical mechanics from first principles. Formulation is performed in completely alternative way, i.e. without any resort to fuzzy and/or star product philosophy, which are extensively applied within noncommutative quantum theories. Newton-Lagrange noncommutative equations of motion are formulated and their properties are analyzed from the pure geometrical point of view. It is argued that the dynamical quintessence of the system consists in its kinetic energy (Riemannian metric) specifying Riemann-Levi-Civita connection and thus the inertia geodesics of the free motion. Throughout the paper, noncommutativity is considered as an internal geometric structure of the configuration space, which can not be observed per se. Manifestation of the noncommutative phenomena is mediated by the interaction of the system with noncommutative background under the consideration. The simplest model of the interaction (minimal coupling) is proposed and it is shown that guiding affine connection is modified by the quadratic analog of the Lorentz electromagnetic force (contortion term).

Review text

The author demonstrates how to introduce a general type of ``noncommutativity into classical mechanics from first principles. Physical models involving ``noncommutativity have become very popular and have been extensively studied in the last decade. This concept appears in the dynamics of D-branes, when the open string dynamics is analyzed in the presence of a constant \(B\)-field; another source is the description of microscopic structure of the space-time. ``Noncommutativity is considered as an internal geometric structure of the configuration space, which cannot be ``observed per se. The noncommutative phenomena arise due to the interaction of the system with noncommutative background. Here the author proposes a simplest model of this interaction (minimal coupling), and shows that the guiding affine connection can be modified by the quadratic analog of Lorentz electromagnetic force (contortion term). the formulation is performed in a completely alternative way, i.e. without any resort to fuzzy and/or star product philosophy, which is extensively used within noncommutative quantum theories. Newton-Lagrange noncommutative equations of motion are formulated, and their properties are analyzed from the pure geometric point of view. It is argued that the dynamical quintessence of the system consists in its kinetic energy (Riemannian metric) specifying Riemann-Levi-Cività connection and thus the inertia geodesics of the free motion.
