    We study exact multi-soliton solutions of integrable hierarchies on noncommutative space-times which are represented in terms of quasi-determinants of Wronski matrices by Etingof, Gelfand and Retakh. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the multi-soliton solutions and found that the asymptotic configurations in soliton scattering process can be all the same as commutative ones, that is, the configuration of N-soliton solution has N isolated localized energy densities and the each solitary wave-packet preserves its shape and velocity in the scattering process. The phase shifts are also the same as commutative ones. Furthermore noncommutative toroidal Gelfand-Dickey hierarchy is introduced and the exact multi-soliton solutions are given.Comment: 18 pages, v3: references added, version to appear in JHE

    Particle phenomenology on noncommutative spacetime

    Full text link
    We introduce particle phenomenology on the noncommutative spacetime called the Groenewold-Moyal plane. The length scale of spcetime noncommutativity is constrained from the CPT violation measurements in K0−Kˉ0K^{0}-\bar{K}^{0} system and g−2g-2 difference of μ+−μ−\mu^+ - \mu^-. The K0−Kˉ0K^{0}-\bar{K}^{0} system provides an upper bound on the length scale of spacetime noncommutativity of the order of 10−32m10^{-32} \textrm{m}, corresponding to a lower energy bound EE of the order of E≳1016GeVE \gtrsim 10^{16}\textrm{GeV}. The g−2g-2 difference of μ+−μ−\mu^+ - \mu^- constrains the noncommutativity length scale to be of the order of 10−20m10^{-20} \textrm{m}, corresponding to a lower energy bound EE of the order of E≳103GeVE \gtrsim 10^{3}\textrm{GeV}. We also present the phenomenology of the electromagnetic interaction of electrons and nucleons at the tree level in the noncommutative spacetime. We show that the distributions of charge and magnetization of nucleons are affected by spacetime noncommutativity. The analytic properties of electromagnetic form factors are also changed and it may give rise to interesting experimental signals.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures. Published versio

    Notes on Noncommutative Instantons

    We study in detail the ADHM construction of U(N) instantons on noncommutative Euclidean space-time R_{NC}^4 and noncommutative space R_{NC}^2 x R^2. We point out that the completeness condition in the ADHM construction could be invalidated in certain circumstances. When this happens, regular instanton configuration may not exist even if the ADHM constraints are satisfied. Some of the existing solutions in the literature indeed violate the completeness condition and hence are not correct. We present alternative solutions for these cases. In particular, we show for the first time how to construct explicitly regular U(N) instanton solutions on R_{NC}^4 and on R_{NC}^2 x R^2. We also give a simple general argument based on the Corrigan's identity that the topological charge of noncommutative regular instantons is always an integer.Comment: Regular instanton solutions are now explicitly constructed also for the case of space-space noncommutativit

    Supersymmetric Deformations of Type IIB Matrix Model as Matrix Regularization of N=4 SYM

    Full text link
    We construct a Q=1\mathcal{Q}=1 supersymmetry and U(1)5U(1)^5 global symmetry preserving deformation of the type IIB matrix model. This model, without orbifold projection, serves as a nonperturbative regularization for N=4\mathcal{N}=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four Euclidean dimensions. Upon deformation, the eigenvalues of the bosonic matrices are forced to reside on the surface of a hypertorus. We explicitly show the relation between the noncommutative moduli space of the deformed matrix theory and the Brillouin zone of the emergent lattice theory. This observation makes the transmutation of the moduli space into the base space of target field theory clearer. The lattice theory is slightly nonlocal, however the nonlocality is suppressed by the lattice spacing. In the classical continuum limit, we recover the N=4\mathcal{N}=4 SYM theory. We also discuss the result in terms of D-branes and interpret it as collective excitations of D(-1) branes forming D3 branes.Comment: Version 2: Extended discussion of moduli space, added a referenc

    Noncommutative Standard Model: Model Building

    Full text link
    A noncommutative version of the usual electro-weak theory is constructed. We discuss how to overcome the two major problems: 1) although we can have noncommutative U(n) (which we denote by U⋆(n)U_{\star}(n)) gauge theory we cannot have noncommutative SU(n) and 2) the charges in noncommutative QED are quantized to just 0,±10, \pm 1. We show how the problem with charge quantization, as well as with the gauge group, can be resolved by taking U⋆(3)×U⋆(2)×U⋆(1)U_{\star}(3)\times U_{\star}(2)\times U_{\star}(1) gauge group and reducing the extra U(1) factors in an appropriate way. Then we proceed with building the noncommutative version of the standard model by specifying the proper representations for the entire particle content of the theory, the gauge bosons, the fermions and Higgs. We also present the full action for the noncommutative Standard Model (NCSM). In addition, among several peculiar features of our model, we address the {\it inherent} CP violation and new neutrino interactions.Comment: Latex file, 46 pages, no figures, v2: Higgsac symmetry reduction arguments improved, Appendices and Ref. adde

    Algebraic deformations of toric varieties I. General constructions

    Get PDF
    We construct and study noncommutative deformations of toric varieties by combining techniques from toric geometry, isospectral deformations, and noncommutative geometry in braided monoidal categories. Our approach utilizes the same fan structure of the variety but deforms the underlying embedded algebraic torus. We develop a sheaf theory using techniques from noncommutative algebraic geometry. The cases of projective varieties are studied in detail, and several explicit examples are worked out, including new noncommutative deformations of Grassmann and flag varieties. Our constructions set up the basic ingredients for thorough study of instantons on noncommutative toric varieties, which will be the subject of the sequel to this paper.Comment: 54 pages; v2: Presentation of Grassmann and flag varieties improved, minor corrections; v3: Presentation of some parts streamlined, minor corrections, references added; final version to appear in Advances in Mathematic
