چکیده
We analyse aspects of symmetry breaking in Moyal spacetimes within a quantisation which preserves twisted Poincaré symmetry. We point out novel features that emerge in the standard model in this formalism.

Noncommutativity and Spontaneously Broken Gauge Theories
We examine the spontaneous symmetry breaking of gauge theories in the framework of noncommutative field theory. We consider a noncommutative U(2) Higgs model with matter in the adjoint representation, that is the simplest example of a noncom-mutative gauge theory that is both classically well-defined in R ξ gauges and has an interacting commutative limit. In the ungauged global limit, the quant...
متن کاملNoncommutative Field Theory and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
We investigate the noncommutative analogue of the spontaneously broken linear sigma model at the one-loop quantum level. In the commutative case, renormalization of a theory with a spontaneously broken continuous global symmetry depends on cancellations that enable the limited set of counterterms consistent with that symmetry to remove the divergences even after its spontaneous breaking, while ...
متن کاملOn the Correspondence between Poincaré Symmetry of Commutative QFT and Twisted Poincaré Symmetry of Noncommutative QFT
The space-time symmetry of noncommutative quantum field theories with a deformed quantization is described by the twisted Poincaré algebra, while that of standard commutative quantum field theories is described by the Poincaré algebra. Based on the equivalence of the deformed theory with a commutative field theory, the correspondence between the twisted Poincaré symmetry of the deformed theory ...
متن کاملWilson Loops and Area-Preserving Diffeomorphisms in Twisted Noncommutative Gauge Theory
We use twist deformation techniques to analyse the behaviour under area-preserving diffeomorphisms of quantum averages of Wilson loops in Yang-Mills theory on the noncommutative plane. We find that while the classical gauge theory is manifestly twist covariant, the holonomy operators break the quantum implementation of the twisted symmetry in the usual formal definition of the twisted quantum f...
متن کاملTwisted Poincaré Symmetry and Some Implications on Noncommutative Quantum Field Theory
The concept of twisted Poincaré symmetry, as well as some implications, are reviewed. The spin-statistics relation and the nonlocality of NC QFT are discussed in the light of this quantum symmetry. The possibility of a twisted symmetry principle for quantum field and gauge theories formulated on a noncommutative space-time is also explored. 1 Twisted Poincaré symmetry The study of the quantum s...
