Noncommutative radial waves

Abstract

We study radial waves in a (2+1)-dimensional noncommutative scalar field theory, using operatorial methods. The waves propagate along a discrete radial coordinate and are described by finite series deformations of Bessel-type functions. At radius much larger than the noncommutativity scale , one recovers the usual commutative behaviour. At small distances, classical divergences are smoothed out by noncommutativity.
