Starting from a standard noncommutative gauge theory and using the Seiberg-Witten map we propose a new version of a noncommutative gravity. We use consistent deformation theory starting from a free gauge action and gauging a killing…
The gauge principle is at the heart of a good part of fundamental physics: Starting with a group G of so-called rigid symmetries of a functional defined over space-time Sigma, the original functional is extended appropriately by additional…
We develop a formalism to realize algebras defined by relations on function spaces. For this porpose we construct the Weyl-ordered star-product and present a method how to calculate star-products with the help of commuting vector fields.…
We study the coupling constant renormalization of gauge theories with an infinite multiplet of fermions, using the zeta function method to make sense of the infinite sums over fermions. If the gauge group K is the maximal compact subgroup…
We provide a survey of recent studies of supergroup gauge theory. We first discuss supermatrix model as a zero-dimensional toy model of supergroup gauge theory and its geometric and algebraic characterization. We then focus on…
A noncommutative gauge theory is associated to every Abelian gauge theory on a Poisson manifold. The semi-classical and full quantum version of the map from the ordinary gauge theory to the noncommutative gauge theory (Seiberg-Witten map)…
We study the generalization of noncommutative gauge theories to the case of orthogonal and symplectic groups. We find out that this is possible, since we are allowed to define orthogonal and symplectic subgroups of noncommutative unitary…
We review the connection between noncommutative field theories and gravity. When the noncommutativity is induced by the Moyal product we can use the Seiberg-Witten map in order to deal with ordinary fields. We then show that the effect of…
We consider gauge coupling unification in models with TeV scale strings and large compact dimensions realized as type IIB string orientifolds. Following an observation by Ibanez we show that the gauge couplings at low energies can behave as…
We consider the singular phases of the smooth finite-gap integrable systems arising in the context of Seiberg-Witten theory. These degenerate limits correspond to the weak and strong coupling regimes of SUSY gauge theories. The spectral…
We present the noncommutative extention of the U(N) Cremmer-Scherk-Kalb-Ramond theory, displaying its differential form and gauge structures. The Seiberg-Witten map of the model is also constructed up to $0(\theta^2)$.
We argue that the non gauge invariant coupling between torsion and the Maxwell or Yang-Mills fields in Einstein-Cartan theory can not be ignored. Arguments based in the existence of normal frames in neighbourhoods, and an approximation to a…
We investigate the general group structure of gauge-Higgs unified models. We find that a given embedding of the \sm\ gauge group will imply the presence of additional light vectors, except for a small set of special cases, which we…
We recall the emergence of a generalized gauge theory from a noncommutative Riemannian spin manifold, viz. a real spectral triple $(A,H,D;J)$. This includes a gauge group determined by the unitaries in the $*$-algebra $A$ and gauge fields…
Dijkgraaf-Witten theories are quantum field theories based on (form degree 1) gauge fields valued in finite groups. We describe their generalization based on $p$-form gauge fields valued in finite abelian groups, as field theories extended…
Spin networks are natural generalization of Wilson loops functionals. They have been extensively studied in the case where the gauge group is compact and it has been shown that they naturally form a basis of gauge invariant observables.…
The Weil correspondence states that the datum of a Seiberg-Witten differential is equivalent to an algebraic group extension of the integrable system associated to the Seiberg-Witten geometry. Remarkably this group extension represents…
We consider classical gauge theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking on a principal bundle $P\to X$ whose structure group $G$ is reducible to a closed subgroup $H$, and sections of the quotient bundle $P/H\to X$ are treated as classical…
We consider a variant of the Seiberg-Witten equations for multiple-spinors. The moduli space of solutions to our generalized Seiberg-Witten equations in the setting of K\"ahler surfaces has a direct relation with ASD connections of…
