The Transformation of Commutative Phase Space to Noncommutative One, and its Lorentz Transformation-Like Forms

Abstract

Noncommutative phase space of arbitrary dimension is discussed. We introduce momentum-momentum noncommutativity in addition to co-ordinate-coordinate noncommutativity. We find an exact form for the linear transformation which relates a noncommutative phase space to the corresponding ordinary one. By using this form, we show that a noncommutative phase space of arbitrary dimension can be represented by the direct sum of two-dimensional noncommutative ones. In two-dimension, we obtain the transformation which relates a noncommutative phase space to commutative one. The transformation has the Lorentz transformation-like forms and can also describe the Bopp's shift.
