Noncommutativity in space-time extended by Liouville field

TL;DR

This paper explores how extending space-time with a Liouville field introduces noncommutativity, providing a unified framework for Dp-brane noncommutativity and simplifying the action by removing the dilaton.

Contribution

It introduces an extended space-time framework incorporating the Liouville field to unify and simplify noncommutativity descriptions in string theory.

Findings

The Liouville field becomes a noncommutative coordinate.

Extended space-time allows rewriting the action without the dilaton.

Boundary conditions derived in canonical form ensure well-defined Hamiltonian.

Abstract

The world-sheet quantum conformal invariance can be realized in the presence of the conformal factor $F$, by inclusion of Liouville term. In the background with linear dilaton field, $\Phi(x)=\Phi_0+a_\mu x^\mu$, the field $F$ becomes a new noncommutative variable. Therefore, it is natural to extend space-time with a new coordinate, $F$, in order to unify expressions for noncommutativity parameter $\Theta^{ij}$ of the space-time coordinates $x^i$, with the part $\Theta^i$ connecting noncommutativity between coordinates $x^i$ and $F$. In this way we solve the problems of Dp-brane noncommutativity in a more elegant way. The technical advantage uses the fact that in the extended space-time the action with dilaton field can be rewritten in dilaton free form. We use canonical method and extend its application to the derivation of boundary conditions. From requirement that Hamiltonian, as the time translation generator, has well defined derivatives in the coordinates and momenta, we obtain boundary conditions directly in the canonical form.
