Star-products for Lie-algebraic noncommutative Minkowski space-times (2503.07176v1)
Published 10 Mar 2025 in hep-th, math-ph, and math.MP
Abstract: Poisson structures of the Poincar\'e group can be linked to deformations of the Minkowski space-time, classified some time ago. We construct the star-products and involutions characterizing the $*$-algebras of various quantum Minkowski space-times with non-centrally extended coordinates Lie algebras. We show that the usual Lebesgue integral defines either a trace or a KMS weight ("twisted trace") depending whether the Lie group of the coordinates' Lie algebra is unimodular or not. We determine the Hopf algebras modeling the deformed relativistic symmetries, which appear to be either a deformation of the usual (Hopf) Poincar\'e algebra or a deformation of an enlarged algebra. The results are briefly discussed.
