Phase-Space Noncommutativity and the Dirac Equation

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider full phase-space noncommutativity in the Dirac equation, and find that in order to preserve gauge invariance, configuration space noncommutativity must be dropped. The resulting space structure gives rise to a constant magnetic field background and this effect is explicitly seen on the spectrum of the hydrogen atom. Computing this spectrum we find a bound on the momentum noncommutative parameter ηη, $\sqrtη\lsim2.26μeV/c$.
