It has been claimed that during the late time history of our universe, the fine structure constant of electromagnetism, $\alpha$, has been increasing (Webb et al. 2001; Murphy et al. 2003). The conclusion is achieved after looking at the…

Photon-neutrino interactions arise quite naturally in noncommutative field theories. Such couplings are absent in ordinary field theory and imply experimental lower bounds on the energy scale Lambda_NC ~ 1/|theta|^2 of noncommutativity.…
