We calculate modifications to the scalar Casimir force between two parallel plates due to space-time noncommutativity. We devise a heuristic approach to overcome the difficulties of describing boundaries in noncommutative theories and predict that boundary corrections are of the same order as noncommutative volume corrections. Further, both corrections have the form of more conventional finite surface effects.

Noncommutative approach to the cosmological constant problem

In this paper, we study the cosmological constant emerging from the Wheeler-DeWitt equation as an eigenvalue of the related Sturm-Liouville problem. We employ Gaussian trial functionals and we…

Dirichlet boundary conditions in a noncommutative theory

We study the problem of imposing Dirichlet-like boundary conditions along a static spatial curve, in a planar Noncommutative Quantum Field Theory model.After constructing interaction terms that…

Casimir force in noncommutative Randall-Sundrum models

In this paper we study the effect of spacetime noncommutativity in the five-dimensional Randall-Sundrum braneworlds on the Casimir force acting on a pair of parallel plates. We show that the presence…

The beauty of curved momentum space

In this manuscript, we will discuss the notion of curved momentum space, as it arises in the discussion of noncommutative or doubly special relativity theories. We will illustrate it with two simple…

Minimal scales from an extended Hilbert space

We consider an extension of the conventional quantum Heisenberg algebra, assuming that coordinates as well as momenta fulfil nontrivial commutation relations. As a consequence, a minimal length and a…

A new approach to non-commutative inflation

We propose an inflationary scenario inspired by a recent formulation, in terms of coherent states, of non-commutative quantum field theory. We consider the semiclassical Einstein equations, and…

Estimate for the size of the compactification radius of a one extra dimension universe

In this work, we use the Casimir effect to probe the existence of one extra dimension. We begin by evaluating the Casimir pressure between two plates in a M4 × S1 manifold, and then use an…
