Path integral representations in noncommutative quantum mechanics and noncommutative version of Berezin-Marinov action
Abstract
It is known that actions of field theories on a noncommutative space-time can be written as some modified (we call them -modified) classical actions already on the commutative space-time (introducing a star product). Then the quantization of such modified actions reproduces both space-time noncommutativity and usual quantum mechanical features of the corresponding field theory. The -modification for arbitrary finite-dimensional nonrelativistic system was proposed by Deriglazov (2003). In the present article, we discuss the problem of constructing -modified actions for relativistic QM. We construct such actions for relativistic spinless and spinning particles. The key idea is to extract -modified actions of the relativistic particles from path integral representations of the corresponding noncommtative field theory propagators. We consider Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations for the causal propagators in such theories. Then we construct for the propagators path-integral representations. Effective actions in such representations we treat as -modified actions of the relativistic particles. To confirm the interpretation, we quantize canonically these actions. Thus, we obtain the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations in the noncommutative field theories. The -modified action of the relativistic spinning particle is just a generalization of the Berezin-Marinov pseudoclassical action for the noncommutative case.
