Comments on Perturbative Dynamics of Non-Commutative Yang-Mills Theory

چکیده
We study the U(N) non-commutative Yang-Mills theory at the one-loop approximation. We check renormalizability and gauge invariance of the model and calculate the one-loop beta function. The interaction of the SU(N) gauge bosons with the U(1) gauge boson plays an important role in the consistency check. In particular, the SU(N) theory by itself is not consistent. We also find that the θ → 0 limit of the U(N) theory does not converge to the ordinary SU(N)× U(1) commutative theory, even at the planar limit. Finally, we comment on the UV/IR mixing.

The Renormalizability of 2d Yang-Mills Theory on a Non-Commutative Geometry
We present numerical evidence for the non-perturbative renormalizability of non-commutative (NC) pure Yang-Mills gauge theory in two dimensions. On the lattice, it is equivalent to the twisted Eguchi-Kawai model, which we simulated at N ranging from 25 to 515. We observe a clear large N scaling for the 1– and 2–point function of Wilson loops, as well as the 2–point function of Polyakov lines. T...
متن کاملScaling properties of the perturbative Wilson loop in two-dimensional non-commutative Yang-Mills theory
Commutative Yang-Mills theories in 1+1 dimensions exhibit an interesting interplay between geometrical properties and U(N) gauge structures: in the exact expression of a Wilson loop with n windings a non trivial scaling intertwines n and N . In the non-commutative case the interplay becomes tighter owing to the merging of space-time and “internal” symmetries in a larger group U(∞). We perform a...
متن کاملNoncommutative Yang-Mills Theory
We investigate asymptotic behaviors of the strong coupling limit in the N = 2 supersymmetric non-commutative Yang-Mills theory. The strong coupling behavior is quite different from the commutative one since the non-commutative dual U(1) theory is asymptotic free, although the monodoromy is the same as that of the ordinary theory. Singularities are produced by infinitely heavy monopoles and dyon...
متن کاملOn the unitarity of quantum gauge theories on non-commutative spaces
We study the perturbative unitarity of non-commutative quantum Yang-Mills theories, extending previous investigations on scalar field theories to the gauge case where non-locality mingles with the presence of unphysical states. We concentrate our efforts on two different aspects of the problem. We start by discussing the analytical structure of the vacuum polarization tensor, showing how Cutkos...
متن کاملWilson line correlators in two-dimensional noncommutative Yang-Mills theory
We study the correlator of two parallel Wilson lines in two-dimensional noncommutative Yang-Mills theory, following two different approaches. We first consider a perturbative expansion and resum all planar diagrams, planarity acquiring a meaning in two dimensions only in the large-N limit. The second approach is non-perturbative: we exploit the Morita equivalence, mapping the two open lines on ...
