Abstract

By using a framework where the object of noncommutativity θμν\theta^{\mu\nu} represents independent degrees of freedom, we study the symmetry properties of an extended x+θx+\theta space-time, given by the group PP', which has the Poincar\'{e} group PP as a subgroup. In this process we use the minimal canonical extension of the Doplicher, Fredenhagen and Roberts algebra. It is also proposed a generalized Dirac equation, where the fermionic field depends not only on the ordinary coordinates but on θμν\theta^{\mu\nu} as well. The dynamical symmetry content of such fermionic theory is discussed, and we show that its action is invariant under P\cal P'.
