We review two different noncommutative gauge models generalizing approaches which lead to renormalizable scalar quantum field theories. One of them implements the crucial IR damping of the gauge field propagator in the so-called ``soft breaking'' part. We discuss one-loop renormalisability.

We consider noncommutative gauge theory defined by means of Seiberg-Witten maps for an arbitrary semisimple gauge group. We compute the one-loop UV divergent matter contributions to the gauge field effective action to all orders in the noncommutative parameters $θ$. We do this for Dirac fermions and complex scalars carrying arbitrary representations of the gauge group. We use path-integral methods in the framework of dimensional regularisation and consider arbitrary invertible Seiberg-Witten maps that are linear in the matter fields. Surprisingly, it turns out that the UV divergent parts of th…
The problem of renormalisability of the SU(n) theory with massive gauge bosons is reinverstigated in the present work. We expound that the quantization under the Lorentz condition caused by the mass term of the gauge fields leads to a ghost action which is the same as that of the usual SU(n) Yang-Mills theory in the Landau gauge. Furthermore, we clarify that the mass term of the gauge fields cause no additional complexity to the Slavnov-Taylor identity of the generating functional for the regular vertex functions and does not change the equations satisfied by the divergent part of this generat…
We make some remarks on the group of symmetries in gravity; we believe that K-theory and noncommutative geometry inescepably have to play an important role. Furthermore we make some comments and questions on the recent work of Connes and Kreimer on renormalisation, the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence and their relevance to quantum gravity.
We consider the GUT compatible formulation of noncommutative QED, as well as noncommutative SU(N) GUTs, for N>2, with no scalars but with fermionic matter in an arbitrary, anomaly-free representation, in the enveloping algebra approach. We compute, to first order in the noncommutativity parameters theta, the UV divergent part of the one-loop background-field effective action involving at most two fermion fields and an arbitrary number of gauge fields. It turns out that, for special choices of the ambiguous trace over the gauge degrees of freedom, for which the O(theta) triple gauge-field inter…
We consider noncommutative GUT inspired field theories formulated within the enveloping-algebra formalism for anomaly safe compact simple gauge groups. Our theories have only gauge fields and fermions, and we compute the UV divergent part of the one-loop background-field effective action involving two fermionic fields at first order in the noncommutativity parameter theta. We show that, if the second-degree Casimir has the same value for all the irreps furnished by the fermionic multiplets of the model, then, that UV divergent part can be renormalised by carrying out multiplicative renormalisa…
We investigate some issues on renormalisability of non-anticommutative supersymmetric gauge theory related to field redefinitions. We study one loop corrections to $N=\frac{1}{2}$ supersymmetric $SU(N)\times U(1)$ gauge theory coupled to chiral matter in component formalism, and show the procedure which has been introduced for renormalisation is problematic because some terms which are needed for the renormalisability of theory are missed from the Lagrangian. In order to prove the theory is renormalisable, we redefine the gaugino and the auxiliary fields($λ, \bar F$), which result in a modifie…
We show that gauge invariant extensions of the local functional $\cO = \frac12\int d^4x A^2$ have long range non localities which can only be ``renormalised'' with reference to a specific gauge. Consequently, there is no gauge independent way of claiming the perturbative renormalisability of these extensions. In particular, they are not renormalisable in the modern sense of Weinberg and Gomis. Critically, our study does not support the view that ghost fields play an indispensable role in the extension of a local operator into a non-local one as claimed recently in the literature.
Since the SU(n) gauge theory with massive gauge bosons has been proven to be renormalisable we reinvestigate the renormalisability of the SU$_L$(2) $\times$ U$_Y$(1) electroweak theory with massive W Z bosons. We expound that with the constraint conditions caused by the W Z mass term and the additional condition chosen by us we can performed the quantization and construct the ghost action in a way similar to that used for the massive SU(n) theory. We also show that when the $δ-$ functions appearing in the path integral of the Green functions and representing the constraint conditions are rewri…
We construct a superpotential for the general N=1/2 supersymmetric gauge theory coupled to chiral matter in the adjoint representation, and investigate the one-loop renormalisability of the theory.
We investigate the one-loop renormalisability of a general N=1/2 supersymmetric gauge theory coupled to chiral matter, and show the existence of an N=1/2 supersymmetric SU(N)xU(1) theory which is renormalisable at one loop.
As a first application of our renormalisation group approach to non-local matrix models [hep-th/0305066], we prove (super-)renormalisability of Euclidean two-dimensional noncommutative ϕ^4-theory. It is widely believed that this model is renormalisable in momentum space arguing that there would be logarithmic UV/IR-divergences only. Although momentum space Feynman graphs can indeed be computed to any loop order, the logarithmic UV/IR-divergence appears in the renormalised two-point function -- a hint that the renormalisation is not completed. In particular, it is impossible to define the squar…
We consider an external gauge potential minimally coupled to a renormalisable scalar theory on 4-dimensional Moyal space and compute in position space the one-loop Yang-Mills-type effective theory generated from the integration over the scalar field. We find that the gauge invariant effective action involves, beyond the expected noncommutative version of the pure Yang-Mills action, additional terms that may be interpreted as the gauge theory counterpart of the harmonic oscillator term, which for the noncommutative $ϕ^4$-theory on Moyal space ensures renormalisability. The expression of a possi…
We construct a superpotential for the general N=1/2 supersymmetric gauge theory coupled to chiral matter in the fundamental and adjoint representations, and investigate the one-loop renormalisability of the theories.
We prove the perturbative renormalisability of pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in the abelian gauge supplemented with mass terms. Whereas mass terms for the gauge fields charged under the diagonal U(1) allow to preserve the standard form of the Slavnov-Taylor identities (but with modified BRST variations), mass terms for the diagonal gauge fields require the study of modified Slavnov-Taylor identities. We comment on the renormalization group equations, which describe the variation of the effective action with the different masses. Finite renormalized masses for the charged gauge fields, in the li…
Noncommutative field theories on Moyal spaces can be conveniently handled within a framework of noncommutative geometry. Several renormalisable matter field theories that are now identified are briefly reviewed. The construction of renormalisable gauge theories on these noncommutative Moyal spaces, which remains so far a challenging problem, is then closely examined. The computation in 4-D of the one-loop effective gauge theory generated from the integration over a scalar field appearing in a renormalisable theory minimally coupled to an external gauge potential is presented. The gauge invaria…
We show that the gauge groups SU(N), SO(N) and Sp(N) cannot be realized on a flat noncommutative manifold, while it is possible for U(N).
I argue that the gauge group of noncommutative gauge theory consists of maps into unitary operators on Hilbert space of the form $u=1+K$ with $K$ compact. Some implications of this proposal are outlined.
I review my results about noncommutative gauge theories and about the relation of these theories to M(atrix) theory following my lecture on ICMP 2000.
We consider gauge theories on noncommutative euclidean space . In particular, we discuss the structure of gauge group following standard mathematical definitions and using the ideas of hep-th/0102182.
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…
We show that in the presence of U(1) noncommutative gauge interaction the noncommutative tachyonic system exhibits solitonic solutions for finite value of the noncommutativity parameter.
Following the formalism of enveloping algebras and star product calculus we formulate and analyze a model of gauge gravity on noncommutative spaces and examine the conditions of its equivalence to general relativity. The corresponding Seiberg-Witten maps are established which allow the definition of respective dynamics for a finite number of gravitational gauge field components on noncommutative spaces.
We investigate the decomposition of noncommutative gauge potential $\hat{A_{i}}$, and find it has inner structure, namely, $\hat{A_{i}}$ can be decomposed in two parts $\hat{b_{i}}$ and $\hat{a_{i}}$, here $\hat{b_{i}}$ satisfies gauge transformations while $\hat{a_{i}}$ satisfies adjoint transformations, so dose the Seiberg-Witten mapping of noncommutative U(1) gauge potential. By means of Seiberg-Witten mapping, we construct a mapping of unit vector field between noncommutative space and ordinary space, and find the noncommutative U(1) gauge potential and its gauge field tenser can be expres…
We present a pedagogical introduction into noncommutative gauge theories, their stringy origin, and non-perturbative effects, including monopole and instanton solutions
Anomalies arising from nonplanar triangle diagrams of noncommutative gauge theory are studied. Local chiral gauge anomalies for both noncommutative U(1) and U(N) gauge theories with adjoint matter fields are shown to vanish. For noncommutative QED with fundamental matters, due to UV/IR mixing a finite anomaly emerges from the nonplanar contributions. It involves a generalized $\star$-product of gauge fields.
We give an explicit proof that the noncommutative U(N) gauge theories are one-loop renormalizable
We discuss the different possibilities of constructing the various energy-momentum tensors for noncommutative gauge field models. We use Jackiw's method in order to get symmetric and gauge invariant stress tensors--at least for commutative gauge field theories. The noncommutative counterparts are analyzed with the same methods. The issues for the noncommutative cases are worked out.
We examine several aspects of S-duality of four-dimensional noncommutative gauge theory. By making duality transformation explicit, we find that S-dual of noncommutative gauge theory is defined in terms of dual noncommutative deformation. In `magnetic' noncommutative U(1) gauge theory, we show that, in addition to gauge bosons, open D-strings constitute important low-energy excitations: noncritical open D-strings. Upon S-duality, they are mapped to noncritical open F-strings. We propose that, in dual `electric' noncommutative U(1) gauge theory, the latters are identified with gauge-invariant, …
We discuss noncommutative gauge theory from the generalized geometry point of view. We argue that the equivalence between the commutative and semiclassically noncommutative DBI actions is naturally encoded in the generalized geometry of D-branes.
We implement the Hamiltonian treatment of a nonAbelian noncommutative gauge theory, considering with some detail the algebraic structure of the noncommutative symmetry group. The first class constraints and Hamiltonian are obtained and their algebra derived, as well as the form of the gauge invariance they impose on the first order action.
We develop a formalism to realize algebras defined by relations on function spaces. For this porpose we construct the Weyl-ordered star-product and present a method how to calculate star-products with the help of commuting vector fields. Concepts developed in noncommutative differential geometry will be applied to this type of algebras and we construct actions for noncommutative field theories. Derivations of star-products makes it further possible to extend noncommutative gauge theory in the Seiberg-Witten formalism with covariant derivatives. In the commutative limit these theories are becom…
Gauge theories are formulated on the noncommutative two-sphere. These theories have only finite number of degrees of freedom, nevertheless they exhibit both the gauge symmetry and the SU(2) "Poincaré" symmetry of the sphere. In particular, the coupling of gauge fields to chiral fermions is naturally achieved.
This is a reply to "Comment on 'Noncommutative gauge theories and Lorentz symmetry,'" Phys. Rev. D 77 (2008) 048701 by Alfredo Iorio.
As a tool to carry out the quantization of gauge theory on a noncommutative space, we present a Dirac operator that behaves as a line element of the canonical noncommutative space. Utilizing this operator, we construct the Dixmier trace, which is the regularized trace for infinite-dimensional matrices. We propose the possibility of solving the cosmological constant problem by applying our gauge theory on the noncommutative space.
Studies of noncommutative gauge theory have mainly focused on noncommutative spacetimes with constant noncommutative structure, with little known about actions for noncommutative 4D Yang-Mills theory beyond this case. We construct an action for Yang-Mills theory on a quadratically-noncommutative spacetime, i.e. of quantum-plane type, obtained from a Drinfeld twist, with star-gauge symmetry. Applied to supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, this gives a candidate AdS/CFT dual of string theory on a related deformation of AdS$_5\times$S$^5$, which is expected to be integrable in the planar limit.
Field theory and gauge theory on noncommutative spaces have been established as their own areas of research in recent years. The hope prevails that a noncommutative gauge theory will deliver testable experimental predictions and will thus be a serious candidate for an extension of the Standard Model. This note contains the results for expanded gauge theory actions on a noncommutative space with constant theta, up to second order, together with a discussion of the ambiguities of the expanded theory and how they affect the action.
We discuss the noncommutative counterparts of chiral gauge theories and compute the associated anomalies.
First, we briefly review the description of gravity theories as gauge theories in three and four dimensions. Specifically, we recall the procedure in which the results of General Relativity in three and four dimensions are recovered in a gauge-theoretic approach. Also, the procedure is applied for the case of the Weyl gravity, too. Then, after reminding briefly the formulation of gauge theories on noncommutative spaces, we review our most recent works in which gravity models are constructed as gauge theories on noncommutative spaces.
We introduce a formulation of gauge theory on noncommutative spaces based on the concept of covariant coordinates. Some important examples are discussed in detail. A Seiberg-Witten map is established in all cases.
We analyze the renormalizability properties of pure gauge noncommutative SU(N) theory in the $θ$-expanded approach. We find that the theory is one-loop renormalizable to first order in $θ$.
We calculate quantum averages of Wilson loops (holonomies) in gauge theories on the Euclidean noncommutative plane, using a path-integral representation of the star-product. We show how the perturbative expansion emerges from a concise general formula and demonstrate its anomalous behavior at large parameter of noncommutativity for the simplest nonplanar diagram of genus 1. We discuss various UV/IR regularizations of the two-dimensional noncommutative gauge theory in the axial gauge and, using the noncommutative loop equation, construct a consistent regularization.
Connes' gauge theory is defined on noncommutative space-times. It is applied to formulate a noncommutative Glashow-Weinberg-Salam (GWS) model in the leptonic sector. It is shown that the model has two Higgs doublets and the gauge bosons sector after the Higgs mechanism contains the massive charged gauge fields, two massless and two massive neutral gauge fields. It is also shown that, in the tree level, the neutrino couples to one of two `photons', the electron interacts with both `photons' and there occurs a nontrivial $ν_R$-interaction on noncommutative space-times. Our noncommutative GWS mod…
We discuss some exact Seiberg--Witten-type maps for noncommutative electrodynamics. Their implications for anomalies in different (noncommutative and commutative) descriptions are also analysed.
Within the superfield approach, we discuss two-dimensional noncommutative super-QED. Its all-order finiteness is shown explicitly.
We analyze divergencies in 2-point and 3-point functions for noncommutative $θ$-expanded SU(2)-gauge theory with massless fermions. We show that, after field redefinition and renormalization of couplings, one divergent term remains.
A new noncommutative model invariant with respect to U(1) gauge group is proposed. The model is free of nonintegrable infrared singularities. Its commutative classical limit describes a free scalar field. Generalization to U(N) models is also considered.
In this Diploma-thesis models of gauge field theory on noncommutative spaces are studied. On the canonically deformed plane we discuss the dependence of the established gauge theory on the choice of the star product. Furthermore, gauge field theory on the Eq(2)-symmetric plane is studied using two different approaches, a star product approach and an algebraic approach.
We reconsider the perturbative expansion of the Wilson loop in 2d noncommutative gauge theories, using an improved integration method. For the class of maximally crossed diagrams in the $θ\to \infty$ limit we find an intriguing formula, easily generalizable to all orders in perturbation theory.
It is well-known that the charge of fermion is 0 or $\pm1$ in the U(1) gauge theory on noncommutative spacetime. Since the deviation from the standard model in particle physics has not yet observed, and so there may be no room to incorporate the noncommutative U(1) gauge theory into the standard model because the quarks have fractional charges. However, it is shown in this article that there is the noncommutative gauge theory with arbitrary charges which symmetry is for example SU(3+1)$\ast$. This enveloping gauge group consists of elements $\exp i {\sum_{a=0}^8 T^a α^a(x,θ)\ast+ Q β(x,θ)\ast}…
We construct a supermatrix model which has a classical solution representing the noncommutative (fuzzy) two-supersphere. Expanding supermatrices around the classical background, we obtain a gauge theory on a noncommutative superspace on sphere. This theory has $osp(1|2)$ supersymmetry and $u(2L+1|2L)$ gauge symmetry. We also discuss a commutative limit of the model keeping radius of the supersphere fixed.
There have been comments on the starting paper, hep-th/0106074, which point out unclear motivation and definitions on noncommutative momentum introduced. This paper is withdrawn by the author for more clear presentation.
We present a formalism to explicitly construct non-Abelian gauge theories on noncommutative spaces (induced via a star product with aconstant Poisson tensor) from a consistency relation. This results in an expansion of the gauge parameter, the noncommutative gauge potential and fields in the fundamental representation, in powers of a parameter of the noncommutativity. This allows the explicit construction of actions for these gauge theories.
The world-volume theory on a D-brane in a constant B-field background can be described by either commutative or noncommutative Yang-Mills theories. These two descriptions correspond to two different gauge fixing of the diffeomorphism on the brane. Comparing the boundary states in the two gauges, we derive a map between commutative and noncommutative gauge fields in a path integral form, when the gauge group is U(1).
T-duality of gauge theories on a noncommutative $T^d$ can be extended to include fields with twisted boundary conditions. The resulting T-dual theories contain novel nonlocal fields. These fields represent dipoles of constant magnitude. Several unique properties of field theories on noncommutative spaces have simpler counterparts in the dipole-theories.
The role of the gauge invariance in noncommutative field theory is discussed. A basic introduction to noncommutative geometry and noncommutative field theory is given. Background invariant formulation of Wilson lines is proposed. Duality symmetries relating various noncommutative gauge models are being discussed.
For three conspicuous gauge groups, namely, SU(2), SU(3) and SO(5), and at first order in the noncommutative parameter matrix hθ^{μν}, we construct smooth monopole --and, some two-monopole-- fields that solve the noncommutative Yang-Mills-Higgs equations in the BPS limit and that are formal power series in hθ^{μν}. We show that there exist noncommutative BPS (multi-)monopole field configurations that are formal power series in hθ^{μν} if, and only if, two a priori free parameters of the Seiberg-Witten map take very specific values. These parameters, that are not associated to field redefinitio…
We study noncommutative deformations of Yang-Mills theories and show that these theories admit a infinite, continuous family of twisted star-gauge invariances. This family interpolates continuously between star-gauge and twisted gauge transformations. The possible physical role of these start-twisted invariances is discussed.
We extend the general method of hep-th/0009192 to compute the consistent gauge anomaly for noncommutative 4d SSYM coupled to chiral matter. The choice of the minimal homotopy path allows us to obtain a simple and compact result. We perform the reduction to components in the WZ gauge proving that our result contains, as lowest component, the bosonic chiral anomaly for noncommutative YM theories recently obtained in literature.
In this paper we construct a version of the standard model gauge sector on noncommutative space-time which is one-loop renormalizable to first order in the expansion in the noncommutativity parameter $θ$. The one-loop renormalizability is obtained by the Seiberg-Witten redefinition of the noncommutative gauge potential for the model containing the usual six representations of matter fields of the first generation.
We elaborate on the dynamics of noncommutative two-dimensional gauge field theories. We consider U(N) gauge theories with fermions in either the fundamental or the adjoint representation. Noncommutativity leads to a rather non-trivial dependence on theta (the noncommutativity parameter) and to a rich dynamics. In particular the mass spectrum of the noncommutative U(1) theory with adjoint matter is similar to that of ordinary (commutative) two-dimensional large-N SU(N) gauge theory with adjoint matter. The noncommutative version of the 't Hooft model receives a non-trivial contribution to the v…
