In the non-commutative situation, these two parts are coupled by the *-commutator interaction. We describe here how to identify the correct decoupled U(1) center of mass subsector of U(N) gauge theory for the case of the non-commutative torus. The internal dynamics remainder is not a theory of SU(N) valued fields but has a simple description in momentum space.Reference and comment addedHigh Energy Physics - TheoryA note on the center of mass in non-commutative theoriestext
