Renormalization of Quantum Field Theories on Noncommutative R^d, I. Scalars

Abstract

A noncommutative Feynman graph is a ribbon graph and can be drawn on a genus $g$ 2-surface with a boundary. We formulate a general convergence theorem for the noncommutative Feynman graphs in topological terms and prove it for some classes of diagrams in the scalar field theories. We propose a noncommutative analog of Bogoliubov-Parasiuk's recursive subtraction formula and show that the subtracted graphs from a class ${\Omega }_d$ satisfy the conditions of the convergence theorem. For a generic scalar noncommutative quantum field theory on $\re^d$, the class ${\Omega }_d$ is smaller than the class of all diagrams in the theory. This leaves open the question of perturbative renormalizability of noncommutative field theories. We comment on how the supersymmetry can improve the situation and suggest that a noncommutative analog of Wess-Zumino model is renormalizable.

Latex, 31 pages, many postscript figures; v2: A false statement in section 4.2 fixed and 3 figures added. The concluding section modified: scalar NQFT is not renormalizable. An argument about renormalizability of Wess-Zumino model added in the concluding section. References added; v3: Title of figure 15 changed. Typos corrected. A reference added; v4: Improved definition of index j and some clarifying comments. Added references. Statements on non-renormalizability softened at the referee's request
