It is pointed out that the space noncommutativity parameters $theta^{\mu \nu}$ in noncommutative gauge theory can be considered as a set of superselection parameters, in analogy with the theta-angle in ordinary gauge theories. As such, they…
We consider the Standard Model on a non-commutative space and expand the action in the non-commutativity parameter theta. No new particles are introduced, the structure group is SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1). We derive the leading order action. At…
It is shown that non-commutative spaces, which are quotients of associative algebras by ideals generated by non-linear relations of a particular type, admit extremely simple formulae for deformed or star products. Explicit construction of…
In this article, an alternative interpretation of the Seiberg-Witten map in non-commutative field theory is provided. We show that the Seiberg-Witten map can be induced in a geometric way, by a field dependent co-ordinate transformation…
We write down three kinds of scale transformations {\tt i-iii)} on the noncommutative plane. {\tt i)} is the analogue of standard dilations on the plane, {\tt ii)} is a re-scaling of the noncommutative parameter $\theta$, and {\tt iii)} is…
Noncommutative gauge fields (similar to the type that arises in string theory with background B-fields) are constructed for arbitrary nonabelian gauge groups with the help of a map that relates ordinary nonabelian and noncommutative gauge…
We study the noncommutative U(2) monopole solution at the second order in the noncommutativity parameter \theta^{ij}. We solve the BPS equation in noncommutative super Yang-Mills theory to O(\theta^2), transform the solution to the…
The concept of covariant coordinates on noncommutative spaces leads directly to gauge theories with generalized noncommutative gauge fields of the type that arises in string theory with background B-fields. The theory is naturally expressed…
Massive vector fields can be described in a gauge invariant way with the introduction of compensating fields. In the unitary gauge one recovers the original formulation. Although this gauging mechanism can be extended to noncommutative…
The most popular noncommutative field theories are characterized by a matrix parameter theta^(mu,nu) that violates Lorentz invariance. We consider the simplest algebra in which the theta-parameter is promoted to an operator and Lorentz…
We discuss how to obtain \theta-exact Seiberg-Witten maps by expanding in the gauge coupling constant or, equivalently, in the number of ordinary gauge fields. We do so for arbitrary compact gauge groups in arbitrary unitary…
In this paper we construct a version of the standard model gauge sector on noncommutative space-time which is one-loop renormalizable to first order in the expansion in the noncommutativity parameter $\theta$. The one-loop renormalizability…
The influence of higher dimensions in noncommutative field theories is considered. For this purpose, we analyze the bosonic sector of a recently proposed 6 dimensional SU(3) orbifold model for the electroweak interactions. The corresponding…
Seiberg-Witten maps and a recently proposed construction of noncommutative Yang-Mills theories (with matter fields) for arbitrary gauge groups are reformulated so that their existence to all orders is manifest. The ambiguities of the…
The mapping of topologically nontrivial gauge transformations in noncommutative gauge theory to corresponding commutative ones is investigated via the operator form of the Seiberg-Witten map. The role of the gauge transformation part of the…
A natural extension of the standard model within non-commutative geometry is presented. The geometry determines its Higgs sector. This determination is fuzzy, but precise enough to be incompatible with experiment.
We analyze $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow \gamma\gamma$, $e^{-}\gamma \rightarrow e^{-}\gamma$ and $\gamma\gamma \rightarrow e^{+}e^{-} $ processes within the Seiberg-Witten expanded noncommutative scenario using polarized beams. With unpolarized…
Seiberg-Witten maps are a well-established method to locally construct noncommutative gauge theories starting from commutative gauge theories. We revisit and classify the ambiguities and the freedom in the definition. Geometrically,…
We review the recursive solutions of the Seiberg--Witten map to all orders in $\theta$ for gauge, matter and ghost fields. We also present the general structure of the homogeneous solutions of the defining equations. Moreover, we show that…
We study certain aspects of noncommutativity in field theory, strings and membranes. We analyse the dynamics of an open membrane whose boundary is attached to p-branes. Noncommutative features of the boundary string coordinates are revealed…
