Galilean symmetry in noncommutative field theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

When the interaction potential is suitably reordered, the Moyal field theory admits two types of Galilean symmetries, namely the conventional mass-parameter-centrally-extended one with commuting boosts, but also the two-fold centrally extended ``exotic'' Galilean symmetry, where the commutator of the boosts yields the noncommutative parameter. In the free case, one gets an ``exotic'' two-parameter central extension of the Schroedinger group. The conformal symmetry is, however, broken by the interaction.
