Recently, an extension of the standard four-dimensional scalar conformal action, yielding a second-order field equation that remains conformally invariant, was proposed. In spite of this, the corresponding action is not invariant under…
We describe the Seiberg-Witten map for the 4D noncommutative BF theory (NCBF). We establish the existence of a map taking the abelian NCBF into its commutative version, in agreement with the hypothesis that such maps are available for any…
Spinor gravity is a functional integral formulation of gravity based only on fundamental spinor fields. The vielbein and metric arise as composite objects. Due to the lack of local Lorentz-symmetry new invariants in the effective…
The field equations of noncommutative gravity can be obtained by replacing all exterior products by twist-deformed exterior products in the action functional of general relativity, and are here studied by requiring that the torsion 2-form…
The theta expansion of the Seiberg-Witten map has ambiguities which can be removed by a gauge transformation and/or a field redefinition. In the context of emergent gravity such a field redefinition changes the emerging metric and requires…
We study a noncommutative deformation of general relativity where the gravitational field is described by a matrix-valued symmetric two-tensor field. The equations of motion are derived in the framework of this new theory by varying a…

There are strong restrictions on the possible representations and in general on the matter content of gauge theories formulated on noncommutative Moyal spaces, termed as noncommutative gauge theory no-go theorem. According to the no-go…
Noncommutative gravity is a natural method of quantizing spacetime by promoting the spacetime coordinates themselves to operators which do not commute. This approach is motivated, for example, from a quantum gravity perspective, among…
