Causality in noncommutative field theory

  • 1. National Institute for Nuclear Physics and Engineering, PO Box MG-6, RO-077125 Bucharest-Magurele (Romania)

Description

Operatorial methods offer an insightful alternative to the usual Wigner-Weyl-Moyal approach to noncommutative field theories. In particular one can prove easily that the elementary degrees of freedom are bilocal, and live on a reduced configuration space. Causality issues become particularly transparent in this framework.
