Within the setting of a recently proposed model of quantum fields on noncommutative Minkowski space, the consequences of the consistent application of the proper, untwisted Poincare group as the symmetry group are investigated. The emergent model contains an infinite family of fields which are labelled by different noncommutativity parameters, and related to each other by Lorentz transformations. The relative localization properties of these fields are investigated, and it is shown that to each…

On second quantization on noncommutative spaces with twisted symmetries

By the application of the general twist-induced ⋆-deformation procedure we translate second quantization of a system of bosons/fermions on a symmetric spacetime into a noncommutative language. The…

Noncommutative Deformations of Wightman Quantum Field Theories

Quantum field theories on noncommutative Minkowski space are studied in a model-independent setting by treating the noncommutativity as a deformation of quantum field theories on commutative space.…

Wedge Local Deformations of Charged Fields Leading to Anyonic Commutation Relations

The method of deforming free fields using multiplication operators on Fock space, introduced in Lechner (Commun. Math. Phys. 212:265–302, 2012), is generalized to a charged free field on two- and…

On the failure of microcausality in noncommutative field theories

We revisit the question of microcausality violations in quantum field theory on noncommutative spacetime, taking $O(x)=:\phi\star\phi:(x)$ as a sample observable. Using methods of the theory of…

Noncommutative deformations of quantum field theories, locality, and causality

We investigate noncommutative deformations of quantum field theories for different star products, particularly emphasizing the locality properties and the regularity of the deformed fields. Using…

A Poincaré covariant noncommutative spacetime

Strict Deformation Quantization and Noncommutative Quantum Field Theories

There exist several theoretical frameworks attempting to unify quantum physics with gravity, such as string theory, loop quantum gravity, and quantum field theory (QFT) on noncommutative spacetimes.…

Deformations of Quantum Field Theories on Curved Spacetimes

The construction and analysis of deformations of quantum field theories by warped convolutions is extended to a class of globally hyperbolic spacetimes. First, we show that any four-dimensional…

Duality and braiding in twisted quantum field theory

We re-examine various issues surrounding the definition of twisted quantum field theories on flat noncommutative spaces. We propose an interpretation based on nonlocal commutative field redefinitions…

Abstract: Polarization-free generators, i.e. “interacting” Heisenberg operators which are localized in wedge-shaped regions of Minkowski space and generate single particle states from the vacuum, are…

String theory and noncommutative geometry
