Noncommutative with Quantized Cosmological Constant

Abstract

We examine a recent deformation of three-dimensional anti-deSitter gravity based on noncommutative Chern-Simons theory with gauge group . In addition to a noncommutative analogue of 3D gravity, the theory contains two addition gauge fields which decouple in the commutative limit. It is well known that the level is quantized in noncommutative Chern-Simons theory. Here it implies that the cosmological constant goes like minus one over an integer-squared. We construct the noncommutative vacuum by applying a Seiberg-Witten map from the commutative case. The procedure is repeated for the case of a conical space resulting from a massive spinning particle.
