Opis

Although it has a longer history, the idea that configuration-space coordinates may not commute has arisen recently from string theory. Noncommuting spatial coordinates and fields can be realised in actual physical situations. Noncommutative field theories, which are the field theories in which the coordinates do not commute, have many novel features. Some aspects of noncommutativity in field theory, strings and membranes are discussed in this book. The book should be useful to researchers working in the field of noncommutative field theories.
