Noncommutativity and Reparametrisation symmetry

We discuss a general method of revealing both space-space and space-time noncommuting structures in various models in particle mechanics exhibiting reparametrisation symmetry. Starting from the commuting algebra in the conventional gauge, it is possible to obtain a noncommuting algebra in a nonstandard gauge. The change of variables relating the algebra in the two gauges is systematically derived using gauge/reparametrisation transformations.

Seiberg-Witten map and Galilean symmetry violation in a non-commutative planar system

An effective U(1) gauge invariant theory is constructed for a non-commutative Schrodinger field coupled to a background U(1)_{\star} gauge field in 2+1-dimensions using first order Seiberg-Witten map. We show that this effective theory can be cast in the form of usual Schrodinger action with interaction terms of noncommutative origin provided the gauge field is of ``background'' type with constant magnetic field. The Galilean symmetry is investigated and a violation is found in the boost sector. We also consider the problem of Hall conductivity in this framework.
