Non-Commutative Phase-Space Effects in Fermionic String Theory

Abstract

We study free open fermionic strings on a non-commutative phase space. Modified super-Virasoro algebras in both Ramond and Neveu-Schwarz sectors acquire non-commutativity anomalies, and this noncommutativity also breaks Lorentz symmetry and give a non-diagonal mass operator. Redefining the Fock space diagonalizes the mass operator. Extra constraints on non-commutativity parameters cancel the anomalies, restore the standard spectrum and make the GSO projection possible.
