Noncommutativity due to spin
Using the Berezin-Marinov pseudoclassical formulation of spin particle we
propose a classical model of spin noncommutativity. In the nonrelativistic
case, the Poisson brackets between the coordinates are proportional to the spin
angular momentum. The quantization of the model leads to the noncommutativity
with mixed spacial and spin degrees of freedom. A modified Pauli equation,
describing a spin half particle in an external e.m. field is obtained. We show
that nonlocality caused by the spin noncommutativity depends on the spin of the
particle; for spin zero, nonlocality does not appear, for spin half, , etc. In the relativistic case the noncommutative
Dirac equation was derived. For that we introduce a new star product. The
advantage of our model is that in spite of the presence of noncommutativity and
nonlocality, it is Lorentz invariant. Also, in the quasiclassical approximation
it gives noncommutativity with a nilpotent parameter.Comment: 11 pages, references adda
On the Nonrelativistic Limit of the phi^4 Theory in 2+1 Dimensions
We study the nonrelativistic limit of the quantum theory of a real scalar
field with quartic self-interaction. The two body scattering amplitude is
written in such way as to separate the contributions of high and low energy
intermediary states. From this result and the two loop computation of the self
energy correction, we determine an effective nonrelativistic action.Comment: 15 pages, 2 figures, revte
Dynamical Lorentz and CPT symmetry breaking in a 4D four-fermion model
In a 4D chiral Thirring model we analyse the possibility that radiative
corrections may produce spontaneous breaking of Lorentz and CPT symmetry. By
studying the effective potential, we verified that the chiral current
may assume a nonzero vacuum expectation
value which triggers the Lorentz and CPT violations. Furthermore, by making
fluctuations on the minimum of the potential we dynamically induce a bumblebee
like model containing a Chern-Simons term.Comment: Small modifications in the text and new references added, 12 pages, 4

On the finiteness of the noncommutative supersymmetric Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory
Within the superfield approach, we prove the absence of UV/IR mixing in the
three-dimensional noncommutative supersymmetric Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory at
any loop order and demonstrate its finiteness in one, three and higher loop
orders.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures, revtex
