Noncommutative mapping from the symplectic formalism

Abstract

Bopp’s shifts will be generalized through a symplectic formalism. A special procedure, like “diagonalization,” which drives the completely deformed symplectic matrix to the standard symplectic form was found as suggested by Faddeev-Jackiw. Consequently, the correspondent transformation matrix guides the mapping from commutative to noncommutative (NC) phase-space coordinates. Bopp’s shifts may be directly generalized from this mapping. In this context, all the NC and scale parameters, introduced into the brackets, will be lifted to the Hamiltonian. Well-known results, obtained using ⋆-product, will be reproduced without considering that the NC parameters are small (≪1). Besides, it will be shown that different choices for NC algebra among the symplectic variables generate distinct dynamical systems, in which they may not even connect with each other, and that some of them can preserve, break, or restore the symmetry of the system. Further, we will also discuss the charge and mass rescaling in a simple model.
