Abstract

Description

Recently, some problems have been found in the definition of the partial derivative in the case of the presence of both explicit and implicit functional dependencies in the classical analysis. In this talk we investigate the influence of this observation on the quantum mechanics and classical/quantum field theory. Surprisingly, some commutators of the coordinate-dependent operators are not equal to zero. Therefore, we try to provide mathematical foundations to the modern non-commutative theories. We also indicate possible applications in the Dirac-like theories.
