Seiberg–Witten map, the Glossary

Index Seiberg–Witten map

The Seiberg–Witten map is a map used in gauge theory and string theory introduced by Nathan Seiberg and Edward Witten which relates non-commutative degrees of freedom of a gauge theory to their commutative counterparts.[1]

Edward Witten

Edward Witten (born August 26, 1951) is an American theoretical physicist known for his contributions to string theory, topological quantum field theory, and various areas of mathematics.

Gauge theory

In physics, a gauge theory is a type of field theory in which the Lagrangian, and hence the dynamics of the system itself, do not change under local transformations according to certain smooth families of operations (Lie groups). Seiberg–Witten map and gauge theory are gauge theories.

See Seiberg–Witten map and Gauge theory

Map (mathematics)

In mathematics, a map or mapping is a function in its general sense.

Nathan Seiberg

Nathan "Nati" Seiberg (born September 22, 1956) is an Israeli American theoretical physicist who works on quantum field theory and string theory.

Noncommutative geometry

Noncommutative geometry (NCG) is a branch of mathematics concerned with a geometric approach to noncommutative algebras, and with the construction of spaces that are locally presented by noncommutative algebras of functions, possibly in some generalized sense.

See Seiberg–Witten map and Noncommutative geometry

String theory

In physics, string theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings.
