Abstract

We show that the duality between the self-dual and Maxwell-Chern-Simons theories in 2+1-dimensions survives when the space-time becomes noncommutative. Existence of the Seiberg-Witten map is crucial in the present analysis. It should be noted that the above models, being manifestly gauge variant and invariant respectively, transform differently under the Seiberg-Witten map. We also discuss this duality in the Stuckelberg formalism where the self-dual model is elevated to a gauge theory. The "`master"' lagrangian approach has been followed throughout.

Section added showing the duality to be valid to all orders in the noncommutative parameter. Paper to appear in Phys.Lett.B
