We find that the resulting low-energy theory contains more interaction terms than those proposed in noncommutative deformations of gravity. The role of twisted diffeomorphisms in string theory is studied and it is found that they are not standard physical symmetries. It is argued that this might be the reason why twisted diffeomorphisms are not preserved by string theory in the low energy limit. Twisted gauge transformations are also discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2006-08-02T14:50:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "string theory", "resulting low-energy theory contains", "twisted diffeomorphisms", "low energy limit", "obtaining noncommutative gravity dynamics" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
