Noncommutative Field Theory

چکیده
We review the generalization of field theory to space-time with noncommuting coordinates, starting with the basics and covering most of the active directions of research. Such theories are now known to emerge from limits of M theory and string theory, and to describe quantum Hall states. In the last few years they have been studied intensively, and many qualitatively new phenomena have been discovered, both on the classical and quantum level. Submitted to Reviews of Modern Physics.

Space-Time Noncommutative Field Theories And Unitarity
We study the perturbative unitarity of noncommutative scalar field theories. Field theories with space-time noncommutativity do not have a unitary S-matrix. Field theories with only space noncommutativity are perturbatively unitary. This can be understood from string theory, since space noncommutative field theories describe a low energy limit of string theory in a background magnetic field. On...
متن کاملMatrix Quantum Mechanics and Soliton Regularization of Noncommutative Field Theory
We construct an approximation to field theories on the noncommutative torus based on soliton projections and partial isometries which together form a matrix algebra of functions on the sum of two circles. The matrix quantum mechanics is applied to the perturbative dynamics of scalar field theory, to tachyon dynamics in string field theory, and to the Hamiltonian dynamics of noncommutative gauge...
متن کاملQuantum motion equation and Poincaré translation invariance of noncommutative field theory
We study the Moyal commutators and their expectation values between vacuum states and non-vacuum states for noncommutative scalar field theory. For noncommutative φ⋆4 scalar field theory, we derive its energy-momentum tensor from translation transformation and Lagrange field equation. We generalize the Heisenberg and quantum motion equations to the form of Moyal star-products for noncommutative...
متن کاملExact Noncommutative Solitons in p -Adic Strings and BSFT
The tachyon field of p-adic string theory is made noncommutative by replacing ordinary products with noncommutative products in its exact effective action. The same is done for the boundary string field theory, treated as the p → 1 limit of the p-adic string. Solitonic lumps corresponding to D-branes are obtained for all values of the noncommutative parameter θ. This is in contrast to usual sca...
متن کاملNoncommutative Cohomological Field Theory and GMS soliton
We show that it is possible to construct invariant field theory under the translation of noncommutative parameter θμν . This is achieved by noncommutative cohomological field theory. As an example, noncommutative cohomological scalar field theory is constructed, and its partition function is calculated. The partition function is the Euler number of Gopakumar, Minwalla and Strominger (GMS) solit...
متن کاملD-branes in Noncommutative Field Theory∗
A mathematical introduction to the classical solutions of noncommutative field theory is presented, with emphasis on how they may be understood as states of D-branes in Type II superstring theory. Both scalar field theory and gauge theory on Moyal spaces are extensively studied. Instantons in Yang-Mills theory on the two-dimensional noncommutative torus and the fuzzy sphere are also constructed...
