Dipoles, Twists and Noncommutative Gauge Theory

Abstract

T-duality of gauge theories on a noncommutative $T^d$ can be extended to include fields with twisted boundary conditions. The resulting T-dual theories contain novel nonlocal fields. These fields represent dipoles of constant magnitude. Several unique properties of field theories on noncommutative spaces have simpler counterparts in the dipole-theories.Comment: 20pp LaTeX, amsfonts and amssymb, JHEP format and ref adde
