A remark on polar noncommutativity
Noncommutative space has been found to be of use in a number of different contexts. In particular, one may use noncommutative spacetime to generate quantised gravity theories. Via an identification between the Moyal ⋆-product on function space and commutators on a Hilbert space, one may use the Seib...
