We carry out an investigation into the possibility of developing a Bohmian interpretation based on the continuous motion of point particles for noncommutative quantum mechanics. The conditions for such an interpretation to be consistent are determined, and the implications of its adoption for noncommutativity are discussed. A Bohmian analysis of the noncommutative harmonic oscillator is carried out in detail. By studying the particle motion in the oscillator orbits, we show that small-scale…

Noncommutative geometry and cosmology
We study some consequences of noncommutativity to homogeneous cosmologies by introducing a deformation of the commutation relation between the minisuperspace variables. The investigation is carried…
U(1) gauge invariant noncommutative Schrödinger theory and gravity
We consider the complex, massive Klein-Gordon field living in the noncommutative space, and coupled to noncommutative electromagnetic fields. After employing the Seiberg-Witten map to first order, we…
Can noncommutative effects account for the present speed up of the cosmic expansion
In this paper we investigate to which extent noncommutativity, a intrinsically quantum property, may influence the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological dynamics at late times/large scales. To our…
Noncommutative conformally coupled scalar field cosmology and its commutative counterpart
We study the implications of a noncommutative geometry of the minisuperspace variables for the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe with a conformally coupled scalar field. The investigation is…
Covariant many-fingered time Bohmian interpretation of quantum field theory
Abstract The Bohmian interpretation of the many-fingered time (MFT) Tomonaga–Schwinger formulation of quantum field theory (QFT) describes MFT fields, which provides a covariant Bohmian…
The Quantum Potential in Gravity and Cosmology
The fundamental role of Bohm’s quantum potential in the treatment of gravity and thus in the general-relativistic domain has been explored by various authors (see, for example, the book of R. Carroll…
INVERSE SQUARE PROBLEM AND so(2, 1) SYMMETRY IN NONCOMMUTATIVE SPACE
We study the quantum mechanics of a system with inverse square potential in noncommutative space. Both the coordinates and momenta are considered to be noncommutative, which breaks the original so(2,…
Covariant canonical quantization of fields and Bohmian mechanics
Abstract.We propose a manifestly covariant canonical method of field quantization based on the classical De Donder-Weyl covariant canonical formulation of field theory. Owing to covariance, the space…
Localization at the energy threshold in non-commutative space
Abstract We study non-commutative quantum mechanics and exploit the non-commutative parameter as a scale for a scale symmetric system. The Hamiltonian in non-commutative space allows an unusual bound…

We study the effect of noncommutativity of space on the physics of a quantum interferometer located in a rotating disk in a gauge field background. To this end, we develop a path-integral approach…
A NOVEL APPROACH TO NONCOMMUTATIVITY IN PLANAR QUANTUM MECHANICS
Noncommutative algebra in planar quantum mechanics is shown to follow from 't Hooft's recent analysis on dissipation and quantization. The noncommutativity in the coordinates or in the momenta of a…
Noncommutative quantum cosmology.
TLDR
It is shown that new quantum states that "compete" to be the most probable state appear, in clear contrast with the commutative case, in the noncommutative quantum cosmology model.

We propose an alternative interpretation for the meaning of noncommutativity of the string-inspired field theories and quantum mechanics. Arguments are presented to show that the noncommutativity…

We derive noncommutative multiparticle quantum mechanics from noncommutative quantum field theory in the nonrelativistic limit. Particles of opposite charges are found to have opposite…
