Perturbative analysis on infrared and ultraviolet aspects of noncommutative QED on R

Here we discuss the ultraviolet and infrared aspects of the noncommutative counterpart of QED, which is called as noncommutative QED, as well as some infrared dynamics of noncommutative Yang-Mills (NCYM) theory. First we demonstrate that the divergence in the theory can be subtracted by the similar counterterms as in ordinary theory at one loop level. Then the anomalous magnetic moment is calculated to see the infrared aspect of the theory which reflects the violation of Lorentz symmetry. The evaluation of the finite part of the photon vacuum polarization shows that the logarithmically singular term in the infrared limit appears with the same weight as UV logarithmic divergence, showing the correlation between the UV and infrared dynamics in NCYM theory. NC-QED theory does not show such a property. We also consider the extension to chiral gauge theory in the present context, but the requirement of anomaly cancellation allows only noncommutative QED.
