Abstract

Noncommutative version of D-dimensional relativistic particle is proposed. We consider the particle interacting with the configuration space variable θμν(τ)\theta^{\mu\nu}(\tau) instead of the numerical matrix. The corresponding Poincare invariant action has a local symmetry, which allows one to impose the gauge θ0i=0, θij=const\theta^{0i}=0, ~ \theta^{ij}=const. The matrix θij\theta^{ij} turns out to be the noncommutativity parameter of the gauge fixed formulation. Poincare transformations of the gauge fixed formulation are presented in the manifest form.
