Noncommutative Einstein Equations

Abstract

We study a noncommutative deformation of general relativity where the gravitational field is described by a matrix-valued symmetric two-tensor field. The equations of motion are derived in the framework of this new theory by varying a diffeomorphisms and gauge invariant action constructed by using a matrix-valued scalar curvature. Interestingly the genuine noncommutative part of the dynamical equations is described only in terms of a particular tensor density that vanishes identically in the commutative limit. A noncommutative generalization of the energy-momentum tensor for the matter field is studied as well.
