Abstract

In this paper we consider the quantization of open strings ending on D-branes with a background B field. We find that spacetime coordinates of the open string end-points become noncommutative, and correspondingly the D-brane worldvolume also becomes noncommutative. This provides a string theory derivation and generalization of the noncommutativity obtained previously in the Matrix model compactification. For Dp-branes with p>2 our results are new and they are different from a naive generalization of the D2-brane case.
