چکیده

In this paper the connection between quantum field theories on flat noncommutative space(-times) in Euclidean and Lorentzian signature is studied for the case that time is still commutative. By making use of the algebraic framework of quantum field theory and an analytic continuation of the symmetry groups which are compatible with the structure of Moyal space, a general correspondence between field theories on Euclidean space satisfying a time zero condition and quantum field theories on Moyal Minkowski space is presented (“Wick rotation”). It is then shown that field theories transferred to Moyal space(-time) by Rieffel deformation and warped convolution fit into this framework, and that the processes of Wick rotation and deformation commute.

Quantum field theory on the degenerate Moyal space

For the last five years much has been done in order to determine renormalisable noncommutative quantum field theories [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]. Nevertheless all the known models are more or less of the type of a self-interacting scalar field on a Euclidean Moyal space. So it is quite important to extend the list of renormalisable non-commutative models. The first solution to the uv/i...

Equivalence of Minkowski and Euclidean Field Theory Solutions

We consider the correspondence between solutions of non-gravitational field theories formulated in Euclidean space-time andMinkowski spacetime. Infinitely many “Euclidean” spaces can be obtained from M via a group of transformations in which the Wick rotation is a special case. We then discuss how the solutions of gauge field theories formulated in these “Euclidean” spaces have a one-to-one cor...

Discrete-Time Quantum Field Theory and the Deformed Super Virasoro Algebra

The deformed Virasoro algebra plays a similar role for deformed conformal fields as the Virasoro algebra in the usual string and conformal field theories. We show that there exists a physical theory, the discrete-time QFT, in which framework the deformations of (super)Virasoro algebra constructed earlier on an abstract mathematical background emerge. Specifically, the deformed Virasoro and supe...

Quantum Fields on Noncommutative Spacetimes: Theory and Phenomenology

In the present work we review the twisted field construction of quantum field theory on noncommutative spacetimes based on twisted Poincaré invariance. We present the latest development in the field, in particular the notion of equivalence of such quantum field theories on a noncommutative spacetime, in this regard we work out explicitly the inequivalence between twisted quantum field theories ...

Nonperturbative lorentzian path integral for gravity

We construct a well-defined regularized path integral for Lorentzian quantum gravity in terms of dynamically triangulated causal space-times. Each Lorentzian geometry and its action have a unique Wick rotation to the Euclidean sector. All space-time histories possess a distinguished notion of a discrete proper time and, for finite lattice volume, the associated transfer matrix is self-adjoint, ...
