Seiberg-Witten map and topology

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-26 v3

Abstract

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 map is analyzed. Chern-Simons actions are examined and the correspondence to their commutative counterparts is clarified.
