Gauge Theory on Noncommutative Spaces: The q-deformed Euclidean Plane — •Frank Meyer — Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, Föhringer Ring 6, 80805 München, Germany
Gauge theory on the q-deformed two-dimensional Euclidean plane Rq2 is studied using two different approaches. We first formulate the theory using the natural algebraic structures on Rq2, such as a covariant differential calculus, a frame of one-forms and invariant integration. We then consider a suitable star product and introduce a natural way to implement the Seiberg-Witten map. In both approaches, gauge invariance requires a suitable “measure” in the action, breaking the Eq(2)-invariance. Some possibilities to avoid this conclusion using additional terms in the action are proposed.
