This is a concise overview of the construction of Yang-Mills theories with realistic gauge groups on noncommutative generalizations of space-time and of the construction of the noncommutative

We review the construction of renormalizable noncommutative Euclidean ϕ4-theories based on the UV/IR duality covariant modification of the standard field theory, and how the formalism can be extended

By considering a new form of dimensional reduction for noncommutative field theory, we show that the signature of spacetime may be changed. In particular, it is demonstrated that a temporal dimension

Abstract. We examine the unitarity issue in the recently proposed time-ordered perturbation theory on noncommutative (NC) spacetime. We show that unitarity is preserved as long as the interaction
In the case of an invertible coordinate commutator matrix θij, we derive a general instanton solution of the noncommutative gauge theories on d = 2n planes given in terms of n oscillators.

We consider two simple models of higher derivative and nonlocal quantum systems. It is shown that, contrary to some claims found in literature, they can be made unitary.
As a mathematical theory, noncommutative geometry (NCG) is by now well established. From the beginning, its progress has been crucially influenced by quantum physics: we briefly review this
It is shown that the Hamiltonian approach for a $\phi^3$-interaction on the 4-dimensional noncommutative Minkowski space leads to an ultraviolet finite $S$-matrix if the noncommutativity is averaged

We propose a physical interpretation of the perturbative breakdown of unitarity in time-like non-commutative field theories in terms of production of tachyonic particles. These particles may be

We show that field theories with light-like noncommutativity, that is with θ0i = -θ1i, are unitary quantum theories, and that they can be obtained as decoupled field theory limits of string theory
