Modified Star-Products Beyond the Large-B Limit

Abstract

Derivative corrections to the Wess--Zumino couplings of open-string effective actions are computed at all orders in derivatives, taking the open-string metric into account. This leads to a set of deformed star-products beyond the Seiberg--Witten limit, and allows to reinterpret the couplings in terms of a deformed integration prescription along a Wilson line in the non-commutative set-up. Moreover, the recursive definition of the star-products induces deformations of U(1) non-commutative Yang--Mills theory.
