Non-Commutative Theories in Physics| Non-Commutative Theories in Physics |
In General > s.a. non-commutative geometry
/ lagrangian systems; quantum spacetime;
symmetry breaking; symplectic structures.
* Motivation: The
motivation can be traced to the quantum gravity idea that space(time)
points become fuzzed out at the smallest scales, and the fact that one can
regularize gauge theories by making the underlying manifold fuzzy; In
practice, this tends to work perturbatively in terms of formal (possibly
non-converging) power series in Planck's constant \(\hbar\), in an
infinitesimal neighborhood of classical physics.
* History: The first
appearance of non-commutative geometry in physics was in Witten's 1986
paper on string field theory; 1990, Connes' approach to the standard
model; Finite-dimensional systems and quantum mechanics, which are
simpler than field theory, have been studied as useful toy models.
* Remark: They are non-local,
and can be considered examples of infinite-order Lagrangian theories.

* Quantization: 1995,
One does not know how to quantize non-commutative models directly,
but each one can be rewritten as an equivalent field theory in the
ordinary sense, which can be quantized.
* And quantum mechanics:
It is natural to introduce a non-commutative structure in phase space, but
one can do it in configuration space as well; A deformed Heisenberg algebra
gives rise to discrete position and momentum spectra, → lattice structure.
