From Quantum Deformations of Relativistic Symmetries to Modified Kinematics and Dynamics (1012.3629v1)
Published 16 Dec 2010 in hep-th
Abstract: We present a short review describing the use of noncommutative space-time in quantum-deformed dynamical theories: classical and quantum mechanics as well as classical and quantum field theory. We expose the role of Hopf algebras and their realizations (noncommutative modules) as important mathematical tool describing quantum-deformed symmetries: quantum Lie groups and quantum Lie algebras. We consider in some detail the most studied examples of noncommutative space-time geometry: the canonical and $\kappa$-deformed cases. Finally we briefly describe the modifications of Einstein gravity obtained by introduction of noncommutative space-time coordinates.
