TO: SEMINARIO DI STRINGHE: DEFORMED SYMMETRIES IN NONCOMMUTATIVE FIELD THEORIES
SESZIONE DI TORINO In this talk we discuss the problem of symmetries in noncommutative
field theories. The twist approach is used to derive deformed
symmetries. In this approach the algebra of symmetry generators
remains undeformed, but the Leibniz rules for the generators change.
We give some examples. In the case of the canonically deformed space
the twisted Poincare and diffeomorphism invariance are derived. The
twisted diffeomorphism invariance enables the construction of the
deformed gravity theory. By applying the twist approach to the
superspace we obtain the nonanticommutative superspace. A deformation
of the Wess-Zumino model is then discussed.
