We assume that the noncommutativity starts to be visible continuously from a scale $Λ_{NC}$. According to this assumption, a two-loop effective action is derived for noncommutative $ϕ^{4}$ and $ϕ^{3}$ theories from a Wilsonian point of view. We show that these effective theories are free of UV/IR mixing phenomena. We also investigate the positivity constraint on coefficients of higher dimension operators present in the effective theory. This constraint makes the low energy theory to be UV completion of a full theory. Finally, we discuss noncommutativity and extra dimensions. In our effective theories formulated on noncommutative extra dimensions, if the campactification scale $Λ_{c}$ is less than the scale $Λ_{NC}$, the theory will not suffer from UV/IR mixing.
We outline the the geometry of locally anisotropic (la) superspaces and la-supergravity. The approach is backgrounded on the method of anholonomic superframes with associated nonlinear connection structure. Following the formalism of enveloping algebras and star product calculus we propose a model of gauge la-gravity on noncommutative spaces. The corresponding Seiberg-Witten maps are established which allow the definition of dynamics for a finite number of gravitational gauge field components on noncommutative spaces.
Localized noncommutative structures for manifolds with connection are constructed based on the use of vertical star products. The model's main feature is that two points that are far away from each other will not be subject to a deviation from classical geometry while space-time becomes noncommutative for pairs of points that are close to one another.
We derive algebraic recurrence relations to obtain a deformation quantization with separation of variables for a locally symmetric Kähler manifold. This quantization method is one of the ways to perform a deformation quantization of Kähler manifolds, which is introduced by Karabegov. From the recurrence relations, concrete expressions of star products for one-dimensional local symmetric Kähler manifolds and ${\mathbb C}P^N$ are constructed. The recurrence relations for a Grassmann manifold $G_{2,2}$ are closely studied too.
Anomalies are one essential concept for the renormalization of noncommutative (NC) gauge theories. A NC space can be visualized as a deformation of the usual spacetime with the $\star$-product and can be constructed after the quantization of a given space with its symplectic structure. The Seiberg-Witten (SW) map connects NC fields, transformations parameters and gauge potential to their commutative analogs. In this work we used the SW map to calculate the NC version of the anomaly of the BV quantized chiral Schwinger model with nonlocal regularization.
The concept of covariant coordinates on noncommutative spaces leads directly to gauge theories with generalized noncommutative gauge fields of the type that arises in string theory with background B-fields. The theory is naturally expressed in terms of cochains in an appropriate cohomology; we discuss how it fits into the framework of projective modules. The equivalence of star products that arise from the background field with and without fluctuations and Kontsevich's formality theorem allow an explicitly construction of a map that relates ordinary gauge theory and noncommutative gauge theory…
Recently, a new noncommutative geometry inspired solution of the coupled Einstein-Maxwell field equations including black holes in 4-dimension is found. In this paper, we generalize some aspects of this model to the Reissner-Nordström (RN) like geometries with large extra dimensions. We discuss Hawking radiation process based on noncommutative inspired solutions. In this framework, existence of black hole remnant and possibility of its detection in LHC are investigated.
We compute the one loop Casimir energy of an interacting scalar field in a compact noncommutative space of $R^{1,d}\times T^2_θ$, where we have ordinary flat $1+d$ dimensional Minkowski space and two dimensional noncommuative torus. We find that next order correction due to the noncommutativity still contributes an attractive force and thus will have a quantum instability. However, the case of vector field in a periodic boundary condition gives repulsive force for $d>5$ and we expect a stabilized radius. This suggests a stabilization mechanism for a senario in Kaluza-Klein theory, where some o…
We consider a U(2) Yang-Mills theory on M x S_F^2 where M is an arbitrary noncommutative manifold and S_F^2 is a fuzzy sphere spontaneously generated from a noncommutative U(N) Yang-Mills theory on M, coupled to a triplet of scalars in the adjoint of U(N). Employing the SU(2)-equivariant gauge field constructed in arXiv:0905.2338, we perform the dimensional reduction of the theory over the fuzzy sphere. The emergent model is a noncommutative U(1) gauge theory coupled adjointly to a set of scalar fields. We study this model on the Groenewald-Moyal plane and find that, in certain limits, it admi…
We obtain the exact non-perturbative solution of a scalar field theory defined on a space with noncommuting position and momentum coordinates. The model describes non-locally interacting charged particles in a background magnetic field. It is an exactly solvable quantum field theory which has non-trivial interactions only when it is defined with a finite ultraviolet cutoff. We propose that small perturbations of this theory can produce solvable models with renormalizable interactions.
We give a review of our joint work on strict deformation of BHTZ 2+1 black holes \cite{BRS02,BDHRS03}. However some results presented here are not published elsewhere, and an effort is made for enlightening the instrinsical aspect of the constructions. This shows in particular that the three dimensional case treated here could be generalized to an anti-de Sitter space of arbitrary dimension provided one disposes of a universal deformation formula for the actions of a parabolic subgroup of its isometry group.
In this paper we calculate the zero point energy density experienced by observers on M^4 due to a massless scalar field defined throughout M^4 x T^2_F, where T^2_F are fuzzy extra dimensions. Using the Green's function approach we calculate the energy density for the commutative torus and the fuzzy torus. We calculate then the energy density for the fuzzy torus using the Hamiltonian approach. Agreement is shown between Green's function and Hamiltonian approaches.
From the constructions of the quantum spacetime, a four dimensional quantized spacetime can be embedded in a five dimensional continuous spacetime. Thus to observe from the five dimensional continuous spacetime where the four dimensional quantized spacetime is embedded, there exist the energy-momentum flows between the five dimensional continuous spacetime and the four dimensional quantized spacetime. This makes the energy-momentum not locally conserved generally on the four dimensional quantized spacetime. We propose that energy-momentum tensors of noncommutative field theories constructed fr…
We study the possibility that dark energy is a manifestation of the Casimir energy on extra dimensions with the topology of $S^2$. We consider our universe to be $M^4 \times S^2$ and modify the geometry by introducing noncommutativity on the extra dimensions only, i.e. replacing $S^2$ with the fuzzy version $S_{F}^2$. We find the energy density as a function of the size of the representation $M+1$ of the algebra of $S_{F}^2$, and we calculate its value for the $M+1=2$ case. The value of the energy density turns out to be positive, i.e. provides dark energy, and the size of the extra dimensions…
We consider the U(1) gauge field defined over a six dimensional space-time with extra dimensions compactified on a noncommutative toroidal orbifold, within the context of coherent state approach to the noncommutative spaces. We demonstrate that the fuzzines of extra dimensions can lead to the canceling of the part of electrostatic interaction mediated by the massive KK modes.
The one-loop correction to the spectrum of Kaluza-Klein system for the $ϕ^3$ model on $R^{1,d}\times (T_θ^2)^L$ is evaluated in the high temperature limit, where the $1+d$ dimensions are the ordinary flat Minkowski spacetimes and the $L$ extra two-dimensional tori are chosen to be the noncommutative torus with noncommutativity $θ$. The corrections to the Kaluza-Klein mass formula are evaluated and used to compute the Casimir energy with the help of the Schwinger perturbative formula in the zeta-function regularization method. The results show that the one-loop Casimir energy is independent of …
Using some elementary methods from noncommutative geometry a structure is given to a point of space-time which is different from and simpler than that which would come from extra dimensions. The structure is described by a supplementary factor in the algebra which in noncommutative geometry replaces the algebra of functions. Using different examples of algebras it is shown that the extra structure can be used to describe spin or isospin.
We study fermions coupled to Yang-Mills matrix models from the point of view of emergent gravity. The matrix model Dirac operator provides an appropriate coupling for fermions to the effective gravitational metric for general branes with nontrivial embedding, albeit with a non-standard spin connection. This generalizes previous results for 4-dimensional matrix models. Integrating out the fermions in a nontrivial geometrical background induces indeed the Einstein-Hilbert action of the effective metric, as well as additional terms which couple the Poisson tensor to the Riemann tensor, and a dila…
We study field theories on spaces with additional compact noncommutative dimensions. As an example, we study ϕ^3 on R^{1,3}\times T^{2}_θusing perturbation theory. The infrared divergences in the noncompact theory give rise to unusual dynamics for the mode of ϕwhich is constant along the torus. Correlation functions involving this mode vanish. Moreover, we show that the spectrum of Kaluza-Klein excitations can be very different from the analogous commuting theory. There is an additional contribution to the Kaluza-Klein mass formula that resembles the contribution of winding states in string th…
We study a noncommutative gauge theory on a fuzzy four-sphere. The idea is to use a matrix model with a fifth-rank Chern-Simons term and to expand matrices around the fuzzy four-sphere which corresponds to a classical solution of this model. We need extra degrees of freedom since algebra of coordinates does not close on the fuzzy four-sphere. In such a construction, a fuzzy two sphere is added at each point on the fuzzy four-sphere as extra degrees of freedom. It is interesting that fields on the fuzzy four-sphere have higher spins due to the extra degrees of freedom. We also consider a theory…
We evaluate the one-loop correction to the spectrum of Kaluza-Klein system for the $ϕ^3$ model on $R^{1,d}\times (T_θ^2)^L$, where $1+d$ dimensions are the ordinary flat Minkowski spacetimes and the extra dimensions are the L two-dimensional noncommutative tori with noncommutativity $θ$. The correction to the Kaluza-Klein mass spectrum is then used to compute the Casimir energy. The results show that when $L>2$ the Casimir energy due to the noncommutativity could give repulsive force to stabilize the extra noncommutative tori in the cases of $d = 4n - 2$, with $n$ a positive integral.
The consequences of noncommutativity of space coordinates of string theory in the proposed large extra dimension solution to the hierarchy problem are explored; in particular the large dimension stabilization and the graviton reabsorption in the brane are considered.
The Doplicher-Fredenhagen-Roberts (DFR) framework for noncommutative (NC) space-times is considered as an alternative approach to describe the physics of quantum gravity, for instance. In this formalism, the NC parameter, {\it i.e.} $θ^{μν}$, is promoted to a coordinate of a new extended space-time. Consequently, we have a field theory in a space-time with spatial extra-dimensions. This new coordinate has a canonical momentum associated, where the effects of a new physics can emerge in the fields propagation along the extra-dimension. In this paper we introduce the gauge invariance in the DFR …
In a recent paper we pointed out the presence of extra fermionic degrees of freedom in a chiral gauge theory based on Connes Noncommutative Geometry. Here we propose a mechanism which provides a high mass to these mirror states, so that they decouple from low energy physics.
The influence of higher dimensions in noncommutative field theories is considered. For this purpose, we analyze the bosonic sector of a recently proposed 6 dimensional SU(3) orbifold model for the electroweak interactions. The corresponding noncommutative theory is constructed by means of the Seiberg-Witten map in 6D. We find in the reduced bosonic interactions in 4D theory, couplings which are new with respect to other known 4D noncommutative formulations of the Standard Model using the Seiberg-Witten map. Phenomenological implications due to the noncommutativity of extra dimensions are explo…
The Doplicher-Fredenhagen-Roberts (DFR) framework for noncommutative (NC) space-times is considered as an alternative approach to describe the physics of quantum gravity. In this formalism, the NC parameter, {\it i.e.} $θ^{μν}$, is promoted to a coordinate of a new extended space-time. Consequently, we can construct a Field Theory in a space-time with spatial extra-dimensions. This new coordinate has a canonical momentum associated, where the effects of a new physics point of view can emerge in the fields propagation along the extra-dimension. In this paper we have introduced the gauge invaria…
We study the noncommutative generalization of (euclidean) integrable models in two-dimensions, specifically the sine- and sinh-Gordon and the U(N) principal chiral models. By looking at tree-level amplitudes for the sinh-Gordon model we show that its na\"ıve noncommutative generalization is {\em not} integrable. On the other hand, the addition of extra constraints, obtained through the generalization of the zero-curvature method, renders the model integrable. We construct explicit non-local non-trivial conserved charges for the U(N) principal chiral model using the Brezin-Itzykson-Zinn-Justin-…
Experimental limits on the violation of four-dimensional Lorentz invariance imply that noncommutativity among ordinary spacetime dimensions must be small. Noncommutativity among extra, compactified spatial dimensions, however, is far less constrained and may have discernable collider signatures. Here we study the experimental consequences of noncommutative QED in six dimensions, with noncommutativity restricted to a TeV-scale bulk. Assuming the orbifold T^2/Z_2, we construct the effective four-dimensional theory and study interactions unique to the noncommutative case. New vertices involving t…
The Doplicher, Fredenhagen and Roberts (DFR) noncommutative (NC) formalism is propose in a curved space-time. In DFR approach, the NC parameter is promoted to the set of coordinates of the space-time. As consequence, the field theory defined on this space contains extra dimensions. We propose a metric containing the new coordinates to explain the length measurements of this extended space. We promote the Minkowski part of this extended metric to a metric defined in a curved manifold. Thus, we can build up a NC gravitation model with extra-dimensions. Based on the curved metric, we propose an E…
In this article we study the noncommutative description of the DBI Lagrangian and its T-dual counterpart. We restrict the freedoms of the noncommutativity parameters of these Lagrangians. Therefore the noncommutativity parameter, the effective metric, the effective coupling constant of the string and the extra modulus ${\tilde Φ}$ of the effective T-dual theory, can be expressed in terms of the closed string variables $g$, $B$, $g_s$ and the noncommutativity parameter of the effective theory of open string.
We show how string theory can be used to reproduce the one-loop two-point photon amplitude in noncommutative U(1) gauge theory. Using a simple realization of the gauge theory in bosonic string theory, we extract from a string cylinder computation in the decoupling limit the exact one loop field theory result. The result is obtained entirely from the region of moduli space where massless open strings dominate. Our computation indicates that the unusual IR/UV singularities of noncommutative field theory do not come from closed string modes in any simple way.
We discuss the calculation of the 1-loop effective action on four dimensional, canonically deformed Euclidean space. The theory under consideration is a scalar $ϕ^4$ model with an additional oscillator potential. This model is known to be re normalisable. Furthermore, we couple an exterior gauge field to the scalar field and extract the dynamics for the gauge field from the divergent terms of the 1-loop effective action using a matrix basis. This results in proposing an action for noncommutative gauge theory, which is a candidate for a renormalisable model.
We introduce a noncommutative calculus on the odd-symplectic superspace $\scri$ of fields and antifields. To this end we have to extend $\scri$ to $\exscri$ by including an extra anticommuting field $η$. As a consequence we show that the commutator induced on $\exnice\times T^\star(\exnice)$ is proportional to the antibracket. The $Δ$-operator is an element of the quotient space of derivations twisted by the antibracket $A\der$ and $\der$. The natural measure on $\exscri$ is shown to be invariant under canonical transformations provided a certain 'wave equation' is satisfied.
Motivated by a recent conjecture [1] that quantum corrections and the UV/IR connection modify the classical relation between SUSY breaking and the cosmological constant to the phenomenologically acceptable : $M_{SUSY} \sim M_P (Λ/M_P^4)^{1/8}$, we study SUSY breaking by boundary conditions in noncommutative field theories. In commutative field theory the violations of SUSY are finite and vanish as the inverse fourth power of the radius of the SUSY violating circle. We show that in the noncommutative theory, as a consequence of its UV/IR connection, the perturbative corrections to SUSY breaking…
We study a system of electrons moving on a noncommutative plane in the presence of an external magnetic field which is perpendicular to this plane. For generality we assume that the coordinates and the momenta are both noncommutative. We make a transformation from the noncommutative coordinates to a set of commuting coordinates and then we write the Hamiltonian for this system. The energy spectrum and the expectation value of the current can then be calculated and the Hall conductivity can be extracted. We use the same method to calculate the phase shift for the Aharonov-Bohm effect. Precessio…
We consider a scalar $ϕ^4$ theory on canonically deformed Euclidean space in 4 dimensions with an additional oscillator potential. This model is known to be renormalisable. An exterior gauge field is coupled in a gauge invariant manner to the scalar field. We extract the dynamics for the gauge field from the divergent terms of the 1-loop effective action using a matrix basis and propose an action for the noncommutative gauge theory, which is a candidate for a renormalisable model.
The effective potentials for massless scalar and vector quantum field theories on D dimensional manifolds with p compact noncommutative extra dimensions are evaluated by means of dimensional regularization implemented by zeta function techniques. It is found that the zeta function associated with the one-loop operator may not be regular at the origin. Thus, the related heat-kernel trace has a logarithmic term in the short t asymptotics expansion. Consequences of this fact are briefly discussed.
In the present work we study dynamical space-time symmetries in noncommutative relativistic theories by using the minimal canonical extension of the Doplicher, Fredenhagen and Roberts algebra. Our formalism is constructed in an extended space-time with independent degrees of freedom associated with the object of noncommutativity $θ^{μν}$. In this framework we consider theories that are invariant under the Poincaré group ${\cal P}$ or under its extension ${\cal P}'$, when translations in the extra dimensions are permitted. The Noether's formalism adapted to such extended $x+θ$ space-time is emp…
Let $P$ be a Laplace type operator acting on a smooth hermitean vector bundle $V$ of fiber $\mathbb{C}^N$ over a compact Riemannian manifold given locally by $P= - [g^{μν} u(x)\partial_μ\partial_ν+ v^ν(x)\partial_ν+ w(x)]$ where $u,\,v^ν,\,w$ are $M_N(\mathbb{C})$-valued functions with $u(x)$ positive and invertible. For any $a \in Γ(\text{End}(V))$, we consider the asymptotics $\text{Tr} (a e^{-tP}) \underset{t \downarrow 0^+}{\sim} \,\sum_{r=0}^\infty a_r(a, P)\,t^{(r-d)/2}$ where the coefficients $a_r(a, P)$ can be written locally as $a_r(a, P)(x) = \text{tr}[a(x) \mathcal{R}_r(x)]$. The co…
In this paper we continue the program, initiated in Ref. hep-th/0112246, to investigate an integrable noncommutative version of the sine-Gordon model. We discuss the origin of the extra constraint which the field function has to satisfy in order to guarantee classical integrability. We show that the system of constraint plus dynamical equation of motion can be obtained by a suitable reduction of a noncommutative version of 4d self-dual Yang-Mills theory. The field equations can be derived from an action which is the sum of two WZNW actions with cosine potentials corresponding to a complexified…
The `winding state' behavior appears in the two-loop nonplanar contribution to the partition function in thermal noncommutative field theories. We derive this feature directly from the purely open string theory analysis in the presence of the constant background $B$-field; we compute the two-loop partition function for worldsheets with a handle and a boundary when the time direction of the Euclideanized target space is compactified. In contrast to the closed-string-inspired approach, it is not necessary to add infinite number of extra degrees of freedom. Furthermore, we find a piece of support…
We investigate a curved brane-world, inspired by a noncommutative D3-brane, in a type IIB string theory. We obtain, an axially symmetric and a spherically symmetric, (anti) de Sitter black holes in 4D. The event horizons of these black holes possess a constant curvature and may be seen to be governed by different topologies. The extremal geometries are explored, using the noncommutative scaling in the theory, to reassure the attractor behavior at the black hole event horizon. The emerging two dimensional, semi-classical, black hole is analyzed to provide evidence for the extra dimensions in a …
We present exact quantum solutions for a noncommutative, multidimensional cosmological model and show that stabilization of extra dimensions sets in with the introduction of noncommutativity between the scale factors. An interpretation is offered to accommodate the notion of time, rendering comparison with the classical solutions possible.
We make biframe and quaternion extensions on the noncommutative geometry, and construct the biframe spacetime for the unification of gravity and quantum field theory. The extended geometry distinguishes between the ordinary spacetime based on the frame bundle and an extra non-coordinate spacetime based on the biframe bundle constructed by our extensions. The ordinary spacetime frame is globally flat and plays the role as the spacetime frame in which the fields of the standard model are defined. The non-coordinate frame is locally flat and is the gravity spacetime frame. The field defined in bo…
We review extra-dimensional and 4D cosmological scenarios through the effective Friedmann evolution on a brane. Some features involving noncommutative geometry and scalar/tachyon slow-roll inflation are considered.
In a recent string theory motivated paper, Nicolini, Smailagic and Spallucci (NSS) presented an interesting model for a noncommutative inspired, Schwarzschild-like black hole solution in 4-dimensions. The essential effect of having noncommutative co-ordinates in this approach is to smear out matter distributions on a scale associated with the turn-on of noncommutativity which was taken to be near the 4-d Planck mass. In particular, NSS took this smearing to be essentially Gaussian. This energy scale is sufficiently large that in 4-d such effects may remain invisible indefinitely. Extra dimensi…
In this short report, a brief introduction to Arkani-Hamed, Cohen, Georgi model (ACG-model, (de)constructing dimensions model), whose main characters are that extra-dimensional space-time are generated dynamically from a four-dimensional gauge theory and that extra dimensions are lattices, will be given first. Then after a concise review of NCG on cyclic groups, actions for gauge fields along extra dimensions will be constructed by virtue of NCG and classical (vacuum) solutions will be solved, with low energy phenomenology being classified accordingly. As a conclusion, the behavior of spontane…
The propagator is calculated on a noncommutative version of the flat plane and the Lobachevsky plane with and without an extra (euclidean) time parameter. In agreement with the general idea of noncommutative geometry it is found that the limit when the two `points' coincide is finite and diverges only when the geometry becomes commutative. The flat 4-dimensional case is also considered. This is at the moment less interesting since there has been no curved case developed with which it can be compared.
Based on the construction of the 4-dim noncommutative gravity model described in our previous work, first, a more extended description of the covariant noncommutative space (fuzzy 4-dim de Sitter space), which accommodates the gravity model, is presented and then the corresponding field equations, which are obtained after variation of the previously proposed action, are extracted. Also, a spontaneous breaking of the initial symmetry is performed, this time induced by the introduction of an auxiliary scalar field, and its implications in the reduced theory, which is produced after considering t…
Treating hadronic flavor symmetries with quantum algebras U_q(su_n) leads to interesting consequences such as: new mass sum rules for hadrons 1^-, (1/2)^+, (3/2)^+ of improved accuracy; possibility to label different flavors topologically - by torus winding number; properly fixed deformation parameter q in case of baryons is linked in a simplest way to the Cabibbo angle θ_C, that suggests for θ_C the exact value π/{14}. In this connection, we discuss the possibility that this angle and the Cabibbo mixing as a whole take its origin in noncommutativity of some additional, with regard to 3+1, spa…
Viewing comodule algebras as the noncommutative analogues of affine varieties with affine group actions, we propose rudiments of a localization approach to nonaffine Hopf algebraic quotients of noncommutative affine varieties corresponding to comodule algebras. After reviewing basic background on noncommutative localizations, we introduce localizations compatible with coactions. Coinvariants of these localized coactions give local information about quotients. We define Zariski locally trivial quantum group algebraic principal and associated bundles. Compatible localizations induce localization…
In the noncommutative geometry approach to the standard model, an extra scalar field - initially suggested by particle physicist to stabilize the electroweak vacuum - makes the computation of the Higgs mass compatible with the 126 GeV experimental value. We give a brief account on how to generate this field from the Majorana mass of the neutrino, following the principles of noncommutative geometry.
We consider a class of generalized FRW type metrics in the context of higher dimensional Einstein gravity in which the extra dimensions are allowed to have different scale factors. It is shown that noncommutativity between the momenta conjugate to the internal space scale factors controls the power-law behavior of the scale factors in the extra dimensions, taming it to an oscillatory behavior. Hence noncommutativity among the internal momenta of the mini-super-\emph{phase}-space can be used to explain stabilization of the compactification volume of the internal space in a higher dimensional gr…
We investigate the kinetics of a nonrelativistic particle interacting with a constant external force on a Lie-algebraic noncommutative space. The structure constants of a Lie algebra, also called noncommutative parameters, are constrained in general due to some algebraic properties, such as the antisymmetry and Jacobi identity. Through solving the constraint equations the structure constants satisfy, we obtain two new sorts of algebraic structures, each of which corresponds to one type of noncommutative spaces. Based on such types of noncommutative spaces as the starting point, we analyze the …
The work extends the A. Connes' noncommutative geometry to spaces with generic local anisotropy. We apply the E. Cartan's anholonomic frame approach to geometrical models and physical theories and develop the nonlinear connection formalism for projective module spaces. Examples of noncommutative generation of anholonomic Riemann, Finsler and Lagrange spaces are analyzed. We also present a research on noncommutative Finsler--gauge theories, generalized Finsler gravity and anholonomic (pseudo) Riemann geometry which appear naturally if anholonomic frames (vierbeins) are defined in the context of…
