Shadow of noncommutativity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We analyse the structure of the kappa=0 limit of a family of algebras Akappa describing noncommutative versions of space-time, with kappa a parameter of noncommutativity. Assuming the Poincar'e covariance of the kappa=0 limit, we show that, besides the algebra of functions on Minkowski space, A0 must contain a nontrivial extra factor A0I which is Lorentz covariant and which does not commute with the functions whenever it is not commutative. We give a general description of the possibilities and analyse some representative examples.
