Field theory in noncommutative Minkowski superspace

Abstract
There is much discussion of scenarios where the space-time coordinates xμ are noncommutative. The discussion has been extended to include nontrivial anticommutation relations among spinor coordinates in superspace. A number of authors have studied field theoretical consequences of the deformation of N=1 superspace arising from nonanticommutativity of coordinates θ, while leaving θ¯’s anticommuting. This is possible in Euclidean superspace only. In this note we present a way to extend the discussion by making both θ and θ¯ coordinates nonanticommuting in Minkowski superspace. We present a consistent algebra for the supercoordinates, find a star-product, and give the Wess-Zumino Lagrangian LWZ within our model. It has two extra terms due to non(anti)commutativity. The Lagrangian in Minkowski superspace is always manifestly Hermitian and for LWZ it preserves Lorentz invariance.
