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 low momentum. Consequently, the low energy effective action is singular at zero momentum even when the original noncommutative field theory is massive. Some of the nonplanar diagrams of these theories are divergent, but we interpret these divergences as IR divergences and deal with them accordingly…

Noncommutative field theory

Noncommutative field theories present many surprising properties. As a consequence of the noncommutativity, high momentum modes do not decouple from the physics at large distances leading to the…

Comments on noncommutative perturbative dynamics

We analyze further the IR singularities that appear in noncommutative field theories on d. We argue that all IR singularities in nonplanar one loop diagrams may be interpreted as arising from the…

Perturbative ultraviolet and infrared dynamics of noncommutative quantum field theory

Perturbative aspects of ultraviolet and infrared dynamics of noncommutative quantum field theory is examined in detail. It is observed that high loop momentum contribution to the nonplanar diagram…

Thermal effects in perturbative noncommutative gauge theories

The thermodynamics of gauge theories on the noncommutative plane is studied in perturbation theory. For U(1) noncommutative Yang-Mills we compute the first quantum correction to the ideal gas free…

Noncommutative gauge theory, divergences and closed strings

We study the renormalization of non-commutative gauge theories with matter. As in the scalar field theory cases, there are logarithmic infrared divergences resulting from integrating out high…

We extend earlier ideas about the appearance of noncommutative geometry in string theory with a nonzero B-field. We identify a limit in which the entire string dynamics is described by a minimally…
