Strong Field, Noncommutative QED
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review the effects of strong background fields in noncommutative QED. Beginning with the noncommutative Maxwell and Dirac equations, we describe how combined noncommutative and strong field effects modify the propagation of fermions and photons. We extend these studies beyond the case of constant backgrounds by giving a new and revealing interpretation of the photon dispersion relation. Considering scattering in background fields, we then show that the noncommutative photon is primarily responsible for generating deviations from strong field QED results. Finally, we propose a new method for constructing gauge invariant variables in noncommutative QED, and use it to analyse the physics of our null background fields.

Axial anomaly of QED in a strong magnetic field and noncommutative anomaly
The Adler-Bell-Jackiw (ABJ) anomaly of a 3 + 1 dimensional QED is calculated in the presence of a strong magnetic field. It is shown that in the regime with the lowest Landau level (LLL) dominance a dimensional reduction from D = 4 to D = 2 dimensions occurs in the longitudinal sector of the low energy effective field theory. In the chiral limit, the resulting anomaly is therefore comparable wi...
متن کاملNondecoupling phenomena in QED in a magnetic field and noncommutative QED
The dynamics in QED in a strong constant magnetic field and its connection with the noncommutative QED are studied. It is shown that in the regime with the lowest Landau level (LLL) dominance the U(1) gauge symmetry in the fermion determinant is transformed into the noncommutative U(1)nc gauge symmetry. In this regime, the effective action is intimately connected with that in noncommutative QED...
متن کاملNoncommutativity vs. Transversality in Qed in a Strong Magnetic Field *
Quantum electrodynamics (QED) in a strong constant magnetic field is investigated from the viewpoint of its connection with noncommutative QED. It turns out that within the lowest Landau level (LLL) approximation the 1-loop contribution of fermions provides an effective action with the noncommutative U(1)NC gauge symmetry. As a result, the Ward-Takahashi identities connected with the initial U(...
متن کاملPerturbative analysis on infrared aspects of noncommutative QED on R
Here we examine the noncommutative counterpart of QED, which is called as noncommutative QED. The theory is obtained by examining the consistent minimal coupling to noncommutative U(1) gauge field. The ∗-product admits the coupling of the matter with only three varieties of charges, i.e., 0, +1 and −1. Ultraviolet divergence can be absorbed into the rescaling of the fields and the parameters at...
متن کاملSuperluminal Noncommutative Photons
With the help of the Seiberg-Witten map, one can obtain an effective action of a deformed QED from a noncommutative QED. Starting from the deformed QED, we investigate the propagation of photons in the background of electromagnetic field, up to the leading order of the noncommutativity parameter. In our setting (both the electric and magnetic fields are parallel to the coordinate axis x and the...
