In this thesis noncommutative gauge theory is extended beyond the canonical case, i.e. to structures where the commutator no longer is a constant. In the first part noncommutative spaces created by star-products are studied. We are able to…
In two-dimensional noncommutive space for the case of both position - position and momentum - momentum noncommuting, the consistent deformed bosonic algebra at the non-perturbation level described by the deformed annihilation and creation…
We study noncommutativity in open strings using the covariant phase space formalism. For tensile open strings in a constant Kalb-Ramond background, we show that the (pre)-symplectic current splits into a bulk kinetic term plus an exact…
The motion of a composite system made of N particles is examined in a space with a canonical noncommutative algebra of coordinates. It is found that the coordinates of the center-of-mass position satisfy noncommutative algebra with…
We investigate the noncommutative gauge theories arising on the worldvolumes of D-branes in non-geometric backgrounds obtained by T-duality from twisted tori. We revisit the low-energy effective description of D-branes on three-dimensional…
In this paper the Seiberg-Witten map for a time-dependent background related to a null-brane orbifold is studied. The commutation relations of the coordinates are linear, i.e. it is an example of the Lie algebra type. The equivalence map…
A new local, covariant ``counter-term'' is used to construct a variational principle for asymptotically flat spacetimes in any spacetime dimension $ d \ge 4$. The new counter-term makes direct contact with more familiar background…
We study the twisted-Hopf-algebra symmetries of observer-independent canonical spacetime noncommutativity, for which the commutators of the spacetime coordinates take the form [x^{mu},x^{nu}]=i theta^{mu nu} with observer-independent (and…
The U(1) gauge theory on a D3-brane with non-commutative worldvolume is shown to admit BIon-like solutions which saturate a BPS bound on the energy. The mapping of these solutions to ordinary fields is found exactly, namely…
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…
We investigate further our recent proposal for the form of the matrix theory action in weak background fields. Using Seiberg's scaling argument we relate the matrix theory action to a low-energy system of many D0-branes in an arbitrary but…
We study noncompact, complete, finite volume, negatively curved manifolds $M$. We construct $M$ with infinitely generated fundamental groups in all dimensions $n \geq 2$. We construct $M$ whose cusp cross sections are compact hyperbolic…
Noncommutative algebra which is rotationally invariant, time reversal invariant and equivalent to noncommutative algebra of canonical type is considered. Perihelion shift of orbit of a particle in Coulomb potential in the…
We derive the Seiberg-Witten map to first order in the non-commutativity parameter for D-branes in the presence of a large R-R background field. This result enables a systematic investigation of the commutative formulation of the…
The spatial curvature of the universe is not yet known. Even though at present the Universe is very close to being essentially flat and most signatures of curvature appear to have been diluted by inflation, if the number of e-foldings…
Fixed point iterations are a fundamental tool in numerical analysis and scientific computing for the approximation of solutions to nonlinear problems. Their convergence is often established via the Banach fixed point theorem, provided that…
A noncommutative algebra corresponding to the classical catenoid is introduced together with a differential calculus of derivations. We prove that there exists a unique metric and torsion-free connection that is compatible with the complex…
In this contribution we review some recent work on the non-commutative geometry of branes on group manifolds. In particular, we show how fuzzy spaces arise in this context from an exact world-sheet description and we sketch the construction…
Recent work in the literature has studied the quantum-mechanical decay of a Schwarzschild-like black hole, formed by gravitational collapse, into almost-flat space-time and weak radiation at a very late time. The relevant quantum amplitudes…
We characterize the worldvolume theories on symmetric D-branes in a six-dimensional Cahen-Wallach pp-wave supported by a constant Neveu-Schwarz three-form flux. We find a class of flat noncommutative euclidean D3-branes analogous to branes…
