String Field Theory and Perturbative Dynamics of Noncommutative Field Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The perturbative dynamics of noncommutative field theory (NCFT) is discussed from a point view of string field theory. As in the commutative case it is inevitable to introduce a closed string, which may be described as a bound state of two open strings. We point out that the closed string, interacting nontrivially with the open string, plays an essential role in the ultraviolet region. The contribution of the closed string is responsible for the discrepancy between the NCFT and the string field theory. It clarifies the controversial issues associated with the ultraviolet/infrared (UV/IR) behaviour of the perturbative dynamics of the NCFT. Typeset using REVTEX ∗E-mail: [email protected]

Matrix 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 کاملCutting rules and perturbative unitarity of noncommutative electric-type field theories from string theory
We discuss the breakdown of perturbative unitarity of noncommutative quantum field theories in electric-type background in the light of string theory. We consider the analytic structure of string loop two-point functions and then perform the zero slope limit of Seiberg and Witten. In this way we pick up how the unphysical tachyonic branch cut appears in the effective field theory. We briefly di...
متن کاملSpace-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 کاملUnitarity of Noncommutative Field Theories from String Theory∗
We improve the study of the lack of perturbative unitarity of noncommutative space-time quantum field theories derived from open string theory in electric backgrounds, enforcing the universality of the mechanism by which a tachyonic branch cut appears when the Seiberg-Witten limit freezes the string in an unstable vacuum. The main example is realized in the context of the on-shell four-tachyon ...
متن کاملPerturbative ultraviolet and infrared dynamics of noncommutative quantum field theory
Perturbative aspects of ultraviolet and infrared dynamics of noncommutative quantum field theory is examined in detail. It is observed that high loop momentum contribution to the nonplanar diagram develops a new infrared singularity with respect to the external momentum. This singular behavior is closely related to that of ultraviolet divergence of planar diagram. It is also shown that such a r...
