Dipoles, Twists and Noncommutative Gauge Theory

  • 1. E-mail: origa at viper.princeton.edu (United States)

Description

T-duality of gauge theories on a noncommutative Td 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. (author)
