Noncommutative relativistic particle
Abstract
Description
Noncommutative version of D-dimensional relativistic particle is proposed. We consider the particle interacting with the configuration space variable $θ^{μν}(τ)$ instead of the numerical matrix. The corresponding Poincare invariant action has a local symmetry, which allows one to impose the gauge $θ^{0i}=0, ~ θ^{ij}=const$. The matrix $θ^{ij}$ turns out to be the noncommutativity parameter of the gauge fixed formulation. Poincare transformations of the gauge fixed formulation are presented in the manifest form.
