A note on the implementation of Poincar\'e symmetry in noncommutative field theory
read the original abstract
We argue that Poincar\'e symmetry can be implemented in NCFT if we allow the parameter of noncommutitive deformation $\theta^{\mu\nu}$ to change as a two-tensor under the corresponding space-time symmetry. The implementation is consistent with the definition of $\theta^{\mu\nu}$ in terms of space-time coordinates and with the Moyal star product. Inspired from the standard definition of a variational symmetry we found a universal way to correct the implementation of the Poincar\'e symmetry by a term proportional to the variation of $\theta^{\mu\nu}$ in such a way that the new transformation define a symmetry of the theory. Finally we present as an example the case of NCYM theory and comment about the obstructions to implement generalized space-time symmetries in NCFT like conformal or diffeomorphism transformations.
