Abstract

Non-commutative electrodynamics obtained through the Seiberg-Witten map ceases to have equivalent action-level and equation-level realizations once fixed external currents are introduced, and in the action-level construction associated with the Banerjee current map the canonical location of this source-induced obstruction has remained unclear. Working in the full phase space and treating the current as prescribed and non-dynamical, we apply the Dirac-Bergmann algorithm without imposing current conservation as an external condition. The preservation of the Gauss-type secondary constraint produces a third-stage candidate whose phase-space expression is shown to be algebraically identical, at first order in the non-commutativity parameter and for purely space-space non-commutativity, to the canonical pullback of the divergence of the mapped Euler-Lagrange equations. This identity locates the source-compatibility obstruction directly within the Dirac chain. For generic inhomogeneous sources, the next consistency step feeds this object back into the primary multiplier through a source-dependent kernel, so the chain closes by multiplier fixing rather than by the generic appearance of a quaternary constraint. Reduced-phase-space results, including the gauge generator, Dirac brackets and degree-of-freedom count, are obtained only in a restricted sufficient first-class subcase; no broader claim is made for arbitrary source profiles.
