Abstract

Lie-Poisson electrodynamics describes a semi-classical approximation of noncommutative $U(1)$ gauge theories with Lie-algebra-type noncommutativities. We obtain a gauge-invariant local classical action with the correct commutative limit for a generic Lie-Poisson gauge model. At the semi-classical level, our results provide a relatively simple solution to the old problem of constructing an admissible Lagrangian formulation for the $U(1)$ gauge theory on the four-dimensional $\kappa$-Minkowski space-time. In particular, we derive an explicit expression for the classical action which yields the deformed Maxwell equations previously proposed in JHEP 11 (2023) 200 for this noncommutativity on general grounds.
