Non-Abelian Gauge Theory on q-Quantum Spaces
Abstract
Description
Gauge theories on q-deformed spaces are constructed using covariant derivatives. For this purpose a ``vielbein'' is introduced, which transforms under gauge transformations. The non-Abelian case is treated by establishing a connection to gauge theories on commutative spaces, i.e. by a Seiberg-Witten map. As an example we consider the Manin plane. Remarks are made concerning the relation between covariant coordinates and covariant derivatives.
