abstract

We extend earlier ideas about the appearance of noncommutative geometry in string theory with a nonzero B-field. We identify a limit in which the entire string dynamics is described by a minimally coupled (supersymmetric) gauge theory on a noncommutative space, and discuss the corrections away from this limit. Our analysis leads us to an equivalence between ordinary gauge fields and noncommutative gauge fields, which is realized by a change of variables that can be described explicitly. This change of variables is checked by comparing the ordinary Dirac-Born-Infeld theory with its noncommutative counterpart. We obtain a new perspective on noncommutative gauge theory on a torus, its T-duality, and Morita equivalence. We also discuss the D0/D4 system, the relation to M-theory in DLCQ, and a possible noncommutative version of the six-dimensional (2,0) theory.

Uni-vector deformations, D0-bound states and DLCQ

hep-th · 2026-04-13 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Uni-vector deformations in Type IIA map D0 backgrounds to themselves and generate F1-D0 and D2-D0 bound states while relating to DLCQ of M-theory.

Exponentially Long Evaporation of Noncommutative Black Hole

hep-th · 2026-04-06 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Noncommutative spacetime shifts the collapsing shell proportionally to outgoing Hawking mode momentum, invalidating standard robustness arguments and causing radiation to decay exponentially after scrambling for exponentially long black hole evaporation.
