Background field quantization and non-commutative QED
نویسندگان
چکیده
We quantize non-commutative QED canonically in the background field gauge for weak and slowly varying background fields. We determine the complete basis for expansion under such an approximation. As an application, we derive the Wigner function which determines the leading order high temperature behavior of the perturbative amplitudes of non-commutative QED. To leading order, we also give a closed form expression for the distribution function for non-commutative QED at high temperature.

Non-commutative field theory as a theory including the Lorentz violation can be constructed in two different ways. In the first method, the non-commutative fields are the same as the ordinary ones while the gauge group is restricted to U(n). For example, the symmetry group of standard model in non-commutative space is U(3)×(2)×U(1) which can be reduced to SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) by two appropriate spo...
متن کاملTesting Non - commutative QED , Constructing Non - commutative MHD
The effect of non-commutativity on electromagnetic waves violates Lorentz invariance: in the presence of a background magnetic induction field b, the velocity for propagation transverse to b differs from c, while propagation along b is unchanged. In principle, this allows a test by the Michelson-Morley interference method. We also study non-commutativity in another context, by constructing the ...

We quantize non-commutative Maxwell theory canonically in the background field gauge for weak and slowly varying background fields. We determine the complete basis for expansion under such an approximation. As an application, we derive the Wigner function which determines the leading order high temperature behavior of the perturbative amplitudes of non-commutative Maxwell theory. To leading ord...
متن کاملPhenomenology of Non-Commutative Field Theories
We study the effects of non-commutative QED (NCQED) in fermion pair production, γ + γ → f + f̄ and Compton scattering, e + γ → e + γ. Non-commutative geometries give rise to 3and 4-point photon vertices and to momentum dependent phase factors in QED vertices which will have observable effects in high energy collisions. We consider ee colliders with energies appropriate to the TeV Linear Collider...
متن کاملNon-linear Vacuum Phenomena in Non-commutative QED
We show that the classic results of Schwinger on the exact propagation of particles in the background of constant field-strengths and plane waves can be readily extended to the case of nocommutative QED. It is shown that non-perturbative effects on constant backgrounds are the same as their commutative counterparts, provided the on-shell gauge invariant dynamics is referred to a non-perturbativ...
