Noncommutativity from Embedding Techniques

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

We apply the embedding method of Batalin-Tyutin for revealing noncommutative structures in the generalized Landau problem. Different types of noncommutativity follow from different gauge choices. This establishes a duality among the distinct algebras. An alternative approach is discussed which yields equivalent results as the embedding method. We also discuss the consequences in the Landau problem for a non constant magnetic field.
