Abstract: Motivated by noncommutative gauge theory, I will discuss a novel approach to gauge theory with underlying non-trivial Poisson structure over space-time. The goal is to formulate a gauge theory which reproduces the standard one in the ‘commutative’ limit (e.g. with trivial Poisson bracket) and such that the algebra of gauge parameters closes under Poisson brackets. The case of U(1) gauge theory shall be considered in some detail.
