Dirac Quasinormal Modes in Noncommutative Reissner-Nordström Black Holes

Noncommutative (NC) geometry provides a novel approach to probe quantum gravity effects in black hole spacetimes. This work explores Dirac quasinormal modes (QNMs) of a deformed Reissner-Nordström black hole, where noncommutativity induces an effective metric with an additional ($ r-φ$) component. Employing a semiclassical model equivalent to a NC gauge theory, we investigate the dynamics of massless Dirac fields and calculate their QNM frequencies using the continued fraction method, enhanced by Gauss elimination to address the six-term recurrence relations. Our results demonstrate notable shifts in oscillation frequencies and damping rates relative to the commutative Reissner-Nordström case, exhibiting a distinctive Zeeman-like splitting in the QNM spectrum driven by the NC parameter.

Dirac QNM spectrum from twisted semiclassical gauge theory of gravity

Twisted Abelian gauge theory coupled to a noncommutative (NC) Dirac field is studied in order to infer the quasinormal mode (QNM) spectrum of the fermion matter perturbations in the vicinity of the Reissner-Nordström (RN) black hole. The action functional of the theory is invariant under the truncated NC local $U(1)_{\star}$ gauge transformations that keep the gravitational background intact. The latter, being a classical gravitational background unaffected by the NC local gauge transformations, makes the theory semiclassical. The most prominent feature of the QNM spectrum is the splitting in the total angular momentum projection due to the noncommutativity induced $SO(3) \rightarrow U(1)$ symmetry breaking pattern.

Fermion quasinormal modes on modified RN background

Noncommutative (NC) geometry may open an alternative route to quantum gravity. We study the influence of the spacetime noncommutativity on the Dirac quasinormal modes in the modified Reissner-Nordström black hole spacetime. The framework for the latter study is provided by a certain effective model of gravity coupled to fermions which in itself encapsulates noncommutative deformation. This model describes a classical Dirac field coupled to a modified Reissner-Nordström geometry where the corresponding metric acquires an additional nonvanishing $r-φ$ component. As the earlier study shows, this model appears to be equivalent to a model of semiclassical NC gauge theory in which a NC gauge field is being coupled to a NC fermion field on the one side and the classical Reissner-Nordström background on the other. In comparison to the undeformed model where the Dirac field is coupled to the commutative Reissner-Nordström black hole, the numerical results show that the oscillation frequencies and magnitude of damping of the Dirac quasinormal modes change to an extent that cannot be neglected. In fact, the influence of spacetime noncommutativity is shown to produce features reminiscent of a Zeeman-like splitting in the effective potential and quasinormal-mode spectrum.

Noncommutative fields in Reissner-Nordström black hole background

In this short paper we discuss dynamics of noncommutative (NC) matter fields in the Reissner-Nordström (RN) black hole background. After reviewing the propagation of charged NC scalar and spinor fields, we derive the equation governing the propagation of NC electromagnetic (EM) perturbation in the RN background. The propagation of NC scalar and spinor perturbation have a dual description in terms of the propagation of commutative fields in the effective/dual metric. Finally, we turn to the gravitational perturbations. We present equations of motion for the NC gravitational field obtained in two different models: $SO(2,3)_\star$ NC gravity and braided NC gravity. Typically for NC gravity models, the first nontrivial corrections are quadratic in the NC parameter. The obtained NC gravity equations are the starting point to discuss the propagation of NC gravitational perturbations and the validity of the dual description in terms of the effective metric.

Noncommutative Reissner-Nordström black hole from noncommutative charged scalar field

Within the framework of noncommutative (NC) deformation of gauge field theory by the angular twist, we first rederive the NC scalar and gauge field model from our previous papers and then generalize it to the second order in the Seiberg-Witten (SW) map. It turns out that SW expansion is finite and that it ceases at the second order in the deformation parameter, ultimately giving rise to the equation of motion for the scalar field in Reissner--Nordström (RN) metric that is nonperturbative and exact at the same order. As a further step, we show that the effective metric put forth and constructed in our previous work satisfies the equations of Einstein-Maxwell gravity, but only within the first order of deformation and when the gauge field is fixed by the Coulomb potential of the charged black hole. Thus obtained NC deformation of the Reissner--Nordström (RN) metric appears to have an additional off-diagonal element which scales linearly with a deformation parameter. We analyze various properties of this metric.

Braided Quantum Electrodynamics

The homotopy algebraic formalism of braided noncommutative field theory is used to define the explicit example of braided electrodynamics, that is, $\mathsf{U}(1)$ gauge theory minimally coupled to a Dirac fermion. We construct the braided $L_\infty$-algebra of this field theory and obtain the braided equations of motion, action functional and conserved matter current. The modifications of the electric charge conservation law due to the braided noncommutative deformation are described. We develop a braided generalization of Wick's theorem, and use it to compute correlation functions of the braided quantum field theory using homological perturbation theory. Our putative calculations indicate that the braided theory does not contain the non-planar Feynman diagrams of conventional noncommutative quantum field theory, and that correlators do not exhibit UV/IR mixing.

Noncommutative scalar field theory in a curved background: duality between noncommutative and effective commutative description

We study a noncommutative (NC) deformation of a charged scalar field, minimally coupled to a classical (commutative) Reissner Nordstrom like background. The deformation is performed via a particularly chosen Killing twist to ensure that the geometry remains undeformed (commutative). An action describing a NC scalar field minimally coupled to the RN geometry is manifestly invariant under the deformed U(1) gauge symmetry. We find the equation of motion and conclude that the same equation is obtained from the commutative theory in a modified geometrical background described by an effective metric. This correspondence we call duality between formal and effective approach. We also show that a NC deformation via semi Killing twist operator cannot be rewriten in terms of an effective metric. There is a dual description for those particular deformations.

Propagation of spinors on a noncommutative spacetime: equivalence of the formal and the effective approach

Some noncommutative (NC) theories posses a certain type of dualities that are implicitly built within their structure. In this paper we establish still another example of this kind. More precisely, we show that the noncommutative U(1) gauge theory coupled to a NC scalar field and to a classical geometry of the Reissner Nordstrom (RN) type is completely equivalent at the level of equations of motion to the commutative U(1) gauge theory coupled to a commutative scalar field and to a classical geometry background, different from the starting RN background. The new (effective) metric is obtained from the RN metric by switching on an additional nonvanishing r-phi component. Using this duality between two theories and physical systems they describe, we formulate an effective approach to studying a dynamics of spin 1/2 fields on the curved background of RN type with an abiding noncommutative structure. As opposed to that, we also study the dynamics of spin 1/2 fields in a more formal way, by studying the semiclassical theory which describes the NC U(1) gauge field coupled with NC spin 1/2 field and also with gravity which is however treated classically. Upon utilising the Seiberg Witten map in order to write the NC spinor and NC gauge fields in terms of their corresponding commutative degrees of freedom, we find that the equation of motion for the fermion field obtained within the formal approach exactly coincides with the equation of motion obtained within the effective approach that utilises noncommutative duality. We then use these results to analyze the problem of stability of solutions of the equations of motion and the associated issue of superradiance, as related to fermions in RN spacetime with an allpervasive noncommutative structure.

$L_\infty$-algebra of braided electrodynamics

Using the recently developed formalism of braided noncommutative field theory, we construct an explicit example of braided electrodynamics, that is, a noncommutative $U(1)$ gauge theory coupled to a Dirac fermion. We construct the braided $L_\infty$-algebra of this field theory and apply the formalism to obtain the braided equations of motion, action functional and conserved matter current. The braided deformation leads to a modification of the charge conservation. Finally, the Feynman integral appearing in the one-loop contribution to the vacuum polarization diagram is calculated. There are no non-planar diagrams, but the UV/IR mixing appears nevertheless. We comment on this unexpected result.

Search for footprints of quantum spacetime in black hole QNM spectrum

Black hole (BH) perturbation is followed by a ringdown phase which is dominated by quasinormal modes (QNM). These modes may provide key signature of the gravitational waves. The presence of a deformed spacetime structure may distort this signal. In order to account for such effects, we consider a toy model consisting of a noncommutative charged scalar field propagating in a realistic black hole background. We then analyse the corresponding field dynamics by applying the methods of the Hopf algebra deformation by Drinfeld twist. The latter framework is well suited for incorporating deformed symmetries into a study of this kind. As a result, we obtain the BH QNM spectrum that, besides containing the intrinsic information about a black hole that is being analysed, also carry the information about the underlying structure of spacetime.

Noncommutative scalar field in the non-extremal Reissner-Nordström background: QNM spectrum

In our previous work [18] we constructed a model of a noncommutative, charged and massive scalar field based on the angular twist. Then we used this model to analyze the motion of the scalar field in the Reissner-Nordström black hole background. In particular, we determined the QNM spectrum analytically in the near-extremal limit. To broaden our analysis, in this paper we apply a well defined numerical method, the continued fraction method and calculate the QNM spectrum for a non-extremal Reissner-Nordström black hole. To check the validity of our analytic calculations, we compare results of the continued fraction method in the near extremal limit with the analytic results obtained in the previous paper. We find that the results are in good agreement. For completeness, we also study the QNM spectrum in the WKB approximation.

Noncommutative Scalar Quasinormal Modes of the Reissner Nordström Black Hole

Aiming to search for a signal of space-time noncommutativity, we study a quasinormal mode spectrum of the Reissner Nordström black hole in the presence of a deformed space-time structure. In this context we study a noncommutative (NC) deformation of a scalar field, minimally coupled to a classical Reissner Nordström background. Our model is thus semiclassical from the beginning and scalar field is in addition minimally coupled to U(1) gauge field. The deformation is performed via particularly chosen Killing twist to yield a geometrical form of the action, which maintains the diffeomorphism invariance manifest, as well as the invariance under a deformed gauge symmetry group. We find the quasinormal mode solutions of the equations of motion governing the matter content of the model in some particular range of system parameters which corresponds to a near extremal limit. In addition, we obtain a well defined analytical condition which allows for a detailed numerical analysis. Moreover, there exists a parameter range, rather restrictive though, which allows for obtaining a QNM spectrum in a closed analytic form. We also argue within a semiclassical approach that NC deformation does not affect the Hawking temperature of thermal radiation.

Noncommutative field theory from angular twist

We consider a noncommutative field theory with space-time $\star$-commutators based on an angular noncommutativity, namely a solvable Lie algebra: the Euclidean in two dimension. The $\star$-product can be derived from a twist operator and it is shown to be invariant under twisted Poincaré transformations. In momentum space the noncommutativity manifests itself as a noncommutative $\star$-deformed sum for the momenta, which allows for an equivalent definition of the $\star$-product in terms of twisted convolution of plane waves. As an application, we analyze the $λϕ^4$ field theory at one-loop and discuss its UV/IR behaviour. We also analyze the kinematics of particle decay for two different situations: the first one corresponds to a splitting of space-time where only space is deformed, whereas the second one entails a non-trivial $\star$-multiplication for the time variable, while one of the three spatial coordinates stays commutative.

Noncommutative Electrodynamics from $SO(2,3)_\star$ Model of Noncommutative Gravity

In our previous work we have constructed a model of noncommutative (NC) gravity based on $SO(2,3)_\star$ gauge symmetry. In this paper we extend the model by adding matter fields: fermions and a $U(1)$ gauge field. Using the enveloping algebra approach and the Seiberg-Witten map we construct actions for these matter fields and expand the actions up to first order in the noncommutativity (deformation) parameter. Unlike in the case of pure NC gravity, first non-vanishing NC corrections are linear in the noncommutativity parameter. In the flat space-time limit we obtain a non-standard NC Electrodynamics. Finally, we discuss effects of noncommutativity on relativistic Landau levels of an electron in a constant background magnetic field and in addition we calculate the induced NC magnetic dipole moment of the electron.
