Nonabelian Gauge Theories on Noncommutative Spaces [PDF]
, 2001 In this paper, we describe a method for obtaining the nonabelian Seiberg-Witten map for any gauge group and to any order in theta. The equations defining the Seiberg-Witten map are expressed using a coboundary operator, so that they can be solved by ...
