Abstract

The one-loop correction to the spectrum of Kaluza-Klein system for the model on is evaluated in the high temperature limit, where the dimensions are the ordinary flat Minkowski spacetimes and the extra two-dimensional tori are chosen to be the noncommutative torus with noncommutativity . 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 the radius of torus if L=1. However, when the Casimir energy could give repulsive force to stabilize the extra noncommutative torus if is a non-negative even integral. This therefore suggests a possible stabilization mechanism of extra radius in high temperature, when the extra spaces are noncommutative.
