A Course on Noncommutative Geometry in String Theory

Understand

In this pedagogical mini course the basics of the derivation of the noncommutative structures appearing in string theory are reviewed.

• First we discuss the well established appearance of the noncommutative Moyal-Weyl star-product in the correlation functions of open string vertex operators on a magnetized D-brane.
• Second, we will review the most recent attempts to generalize these concepts to the closed string moving in a nongeometric flux background.
