| Renormalization of Gauge Theories on Non-Commutative Spaces |
| Speaker: | Daniel Blaschke (Los Alamos National Laboratory, Theory Division) |
| Abstract: | In order to explore the foundations of physics at very short distances, a mathematical framework describing a quantized version of space-time geometry and quantum fields thereon is desired. One possible road to take, are the so-called non-commutative quantum field theories. Constructing renormalizable models on non-commutative spaces constitutes a big challenge. Only few examples of renormalizable theories are known, such as the scalar Grosse-Wulkenhaar model. Gauge fields are even more difficult, since new renormalization techniques are required which are compatible with the inherently non-local setting on the one hand, and also allow to properly treat the gauge symmetry on the other hand. In this talk I will focus on this last point and present new extensions to existing renormalization schemes (known to work for gauge field theor. in commutative space) adapted to non-comm Moyal space. |
