Abstract

We consider the noncommutative space $\mathbb{R}^3_\theta$, a deformation of $\mathbb{R}^3$ for which the star product is closed for the trace functional. We study one-loop IR and UV properties of the 2-point function for real and complex noncommutative scalar field theories with quartic interactions and Laplacian on $\mathbb{R}^3$ as kinetic operator. We find that the 2-point functions for these noncommutative scalar field theories have no IR singularities in the external momenta, indicating the absence of UV/IR mixing. We also find that the 2-point functions are UV finite with the deformation parameter $\theta$ playing the role of a natural UV cut-off. The possible origin of the absence of UV/IR mixing in noncommutative scalar field theories on $\mathbb{R}^3_\theta$ as well as on $\mathbb{R}^3_\lambda $, another deformation of $\mathbb{R}^3$, is discussed.

Highlights

  • JHEP05(2016)146 true for alternative approaches based on a IR damping mechanism aiming to neutralize the mixing [44, 45].2 Note that the matrix model interpretation of noncommutative gauge theories provided interesting results onclassical properties and/or one-loop computations

  • We find that the 2-point functions are UV finite with the deformation parameter θ playing the role of a natural UV cut-off

  • We have considered the noncommutative space R3θ defined in (2.1) for which the star product ⋆D is closed for the trace functional d3x

Summary

Closed star product and Duflo quantization map

Where M(R3) is the multiplier algebra of S(R3) (the set of Schwartz functions on R3) for the star-product ⋆D defined by f ⋆D g =. For any (suitably behaving) functions f and g where “·” is the commutative product on R3 and dμ(x) is some integration measure that can be chosen in the following to be the usual Lebesgue measure (while dμ(x) · (f ⋆W g)(x) = dμ(x) · (f · g)(x)). Such a transformation T may not exist in general. For a discussion of this point, see [62] where it is pointed out that ⋆D is the Kontsevich product [70]
