Lorentz-Invariant Non-Commutative Space-Time Based On DFR Algebra

Abstract

It is argued that the familiar algebra of the non-commutative space-time with $c$-number ${\theta }^{\mu \nu }$ is inconsistent from a theoretical point of view. Consistent algebras are obtained by promoting ${\theta }^{\mu \nu }$ to an anti-symmetric tensor operator ${\hat{\theta }}^{\mu \nu }$. The simplest among them is Doplicher-Fredenhagen-Roberts (DFR) algebra in which the triple commutator among the coordinate operators is assumed to vanish. This allows us to define the Lorentz-covariant operator fields on the DFR algebra as operators diagonal in the 6-dimensional $\theta$-space of the hermitian operators, ${\hat{\theta }}^{\mu \nu }$. It is shown that we then recover Carlson-Carone-Zobin (CCZ) formulation of the Lorentz-invariant non-commutative gauge theory with no need of compactification of the extra 6 dimensions. It is also pointed out that a general argument concerning the normalizability of the weight function in the Lorentz metric leads to a division of the $\theta$-space into two disjoint spaces not connected by any Lorentz transformation so that the CCZ covariant moment formula holds true in each space, separately. A non-commutative generalization of Connes' two-sheeted Minkowski space-time is also proposed. Two simple models of quantum field theory are reformulated on $M_4\times Z_2$ obtained in the commutative limit.
