A Noncommutative Version of the Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation

A noncommutative version of the (anti-) self-dual Yang-Mills equations is shown to be related via dimensional reductions to noncommutative formulations of the generalized (SO(3)/SO(2)) nonlinear Schrodinger (NS) equations, of the super-Korteweg- de Vries (super-KdV) as well as of the matrix KdV equations. Noncommutative extensions of their linear systems and bicomplexes associated to conserved quantities are discussed.

Deformation quantization is a powerful tool to quantize some classical systems especially in noncommutative space. In this work we first show that for a class of special Hamiltonian one can easily find relevant time evolution functions and Wigner functions, which are intrinsic important quantities in the deformation quantization theory. Then based on this observation we investigate a two coupled harmonic oscillators system on the general noncommutative phase space by requirin...

This contributory article begins with our fond and sincere reminiscences about our beloved Prof. A.P. Balachandran. In the main part, we discuss our recent formulation of quantum mechanics on (1+1)D noncommutative space-time using Hilbert-Schmidt operators. As an application, we demonstrate how geometrical phase in a system of time-dependent forced harmonic oscillator living in the Moyal space-time can emerge.

This paper addresses three topics concerning the quantization of non-commutative field theories (as defined in terms of the Moyal star product involving a constant tensor describing the non-commutativity of coordinates in Euclidean space). To start with, we discuss the Quantum Action Principle and provide evidence for its validity for non-commutative quantum field theories by showing that the equation of motion considered as insertion in the generating functional Zc[j] of con...

This paper is concerned with the quantum theory of noncommutative scalar fields in two dimensional space time. It is shown that the noncommutativity originates from the the deformation of symplectic structures. The quantization is performed and the modes expansions of the fields, in presence of an electro-magnetic background, are derived. The Hamiltonian of the theory is given and the degeneracies lifting, induced by the deformation, is also discussed.

In this work, we develop and apply the WKB approximation to several examples of noncommutative quantum cosmology, obtaining the time evolution of the noncommutative universe, this is done starting from a noncommutative quantum formulation of cosmology where the noncommutativity is introduced by a deformation on the minisuperspace variables. This procedure gives a straightforward algorithm to incorporate noncommutativity to cosmology and inflation.

A procedure to obtain noncommutative version for any nondegenerated dynamical system is proposed and discussed. The procedure is as follow. Let $S=\int dt L(q^A, ~ \dot q^A)$ is action of some nondegenerated system, and $L_1(q^A, ~ \dot q^A, ~ v_A)$ is the corresponding first order Lagrangian. Then the corresponding noncommutative version is $S_N=\int dt[ L_1(q^A, ~ \dot q^A, \~ v_A)+ \dot v_A\theta^{AB}v_B]$. Namely, the system $S_N$ has the following properties: 1) It has t...

We consider the cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLS) in any spatial dimension, which is a well-known example of an infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian system. Inspired by the knowledge that the NLS is an effective equation for a system of interacting bosons as the particle number tends to infinity, we provide a derivation of the Hamiltonian structure, which is comprised of both a Hamiltonian functional and a weak symplectic structure, for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equa...

We present a phase space formulation of quantum mechanics in the Schr\"odinger representation and derive the associated Weyl pseudo-differential calculus. We prove that the resulting theory is unitarily equivalent to the standard "configuration space" formulation and show that it allows for a uniform treatment of both pure and mixed quantum states. In the second part of the paper we determine the unitary transformation (and its infinitesimal generator) that maps the phase spa...

Application of the noncommutative geometry to several physical models is considered.
