Abstract

Some noncommutative (NC) theories posses a certain type of dualities that are implicitly built within their structure. In this paper we establish still another example of this kind. More precisely, we show that the noncommutative U(1) gauge theory coupled to a NC scalar field and to a classical geometry of the Reissner Nordstrom (RN) type is completely equivalent at the level of equations of motion to the commutative U(1) gauge theory coupled to a commutative scalar field and to a classical geometry background, different from the starting RN background. The new (effective) metric is obtained from the RN metric by switching on an additional nonvanishing r-phi component. Using this duality between two theories and physical systems they describe, we formulate an effective approach to studying a dynamics of spin 1/2 fields on the curved background of RN type with an abiding noncommutative structure. As opposed to that, we also study the dynamics of spin 1/2 fields in a more formal way, by studying the semiclassical theory which describes the NC U(1) gauge field coupled with NC spin 1/2 field and also with gravity which is however treated classically. Upon utilising the Seiberg Witten map in order to write the NC spinor and NC gauge fields in terms of their corresponding commutative degrees of freedom, we find that the equation of motion for the fermion field obtained within the formal approach exactly coincides with the equation of motion obtained within the effective approach that utilises noncommutative duality. We then use these results to analyze the problem of stability of solutions of the equations of motion and the associated issue of superradiance, as related to fermions in RN spacetime with an allpervasive noncommutative structure.
