Action functional for κ-Minkowski spacetime

I examine some alternative possibilities for an action functional for κ-Minkowski noncommutative-spacetime.

Action functionals present in literature are structured in such a way to reflect κ-PoincarĂ© invariance, renouncing to invariance under cyclic permutations of the arguments of the action functional.

I show the construction of a cyclic action functional by introducing an integration measure. I discuss the symmetries of the cyclicity-inducing measure. I also show that such a cyclicity-inducing measure can be derived using a map which connects the κ-Minkowski coordinates and the coordinates of a canonical spacetime, with coordinate-independent commutators.
