We find classically stable solitons (instantons) in odd (even) dimensional scalar noncommutative field theories whose scalar potential, V (φ), has at least two minima. These solutions are bubbles of the false vacuum whose size is set by the scale of noncommutativity. Our construction uses the correspondence between non-commutative fields and operators on a single particle Hilbert space. In the case of noncommutative gauge theories we note that expanding around a simple solution shifts away the…

Quantum Corrections to Noncommutative Solitons
Noncommutative solitons are easier to find in a noncommutative field theory. Similarly, the one-loop quantum corrections to the mass of a noncommutative soliton are easier to compute, in a real…
Exact solitons on noncommutative tori
We construct exact solitons on non-commutative tori for the type of actions arising from open string field theory. Given any projector that describes an extremum of the tachyon potential, we…
Noncommutative Solitons of Gravity
We investigate a three-dimensional gravitational theory on a noncommutative space which has a cosmological constant term only. We found various kinds of nontrivial solutions by applying a similar…
Exact noncommutative solitons
We find exact solitons in a large class of noncommutative gauge theories using a simple solution generating technique. The solitons in the effective field theory description of open string field…
TIME DEPENDENT SOLITONS OF NONCOMMUTATIVE CHERN-SIMONS THEORY COUPLED TO SCALAR FIELDS
We study one- and two-soliton solutions of noncommutative Chern-Simons theory coupled to a nonrelativistic or a relativistic scalar field. In the nonrelativistic case, we find a tower of new…
Noncommutative solitons: moduli spaces, quantization, finite θ effects and stability
We find the N-soliton solution at infinite theta, as well as the metric on the moduli space corresponding to spatial displacements of the solitons. We use a perturbative expansion to incorporate the…
Remark on intersecting solitons in 4D noncommutative scalar field theory
We examine the intersections, fluctuations and deformations of codimension two solitons in field theory on a noncommutative Euclidean ${R}^{4},$ in the limit of large noncommutativity. We find that…
A Study of Noncommutative Instantons
We consider the properties and behaviour of 2 U(2) noncommutative instantons: solutions of the NC-deformed ADHM equations which arise from U(2) 5d Yang-Mills theory. The ADHM construction allows us…
A Note on Intersecting and Fluctuating Solitons in 4D Noncommutative Field Theory
We examine the intersections, fluctuations and deformations of codimension two solitons in field theory on noncommutative R4, in the limit of large noncommutativity. We find that holomorphic…
Unstable solitons in noncommutative gauge theory
We find a class of exact solutions of noncommutative gauge theories corresponding to unstable non-BPS solitons. In the two-dimensional euclidean (or 2+1 dimensional lorentzian) U(1) theory we find…

We study the perturbative dynamics of noncommutative field theories on R d , and find an intriguing mixing of the UV and the IR. High energies of virtual particles in loops produce non-analyticity at…
