Abstract

We consider a two-point spatial lattice approximation to an open string moving in a flat background with B field. It gives a constrained dipole system under the influence of a vector potential. Solving and quantizing this system recover all the essential features of a noncommutative space. In particular, open string interactions induce a canonical product structure on the Hilbert space of the dipole system. It coincides with the usual star product, even though the position operators can be thought of as mutually commuting. Modification of gauge transformations in this noncommutative space also naturally emerges.
