Abstract

We evaluate the one-loop correction to the spectrum of Kaluza-Klein system for the ϕ3\phi^3 model on R1,d×(Tθ2)LR^{1,d}\times (T_\theta^2)^L, where 1+d1+d dimensions are the ordinary flat Minkowski spacetimes and the extra dimensions are the L two-dimensional noncommutative tori with noncommutativity θ\theta. The correction to the Kaluza-Klein mass spectrum is then used to compute the Casimir energy. The results show that when L>2L>2 the Casimir energy due to the noncommutativity could give repulsive force to stabilize the extra noncommutative tori in the cases of d=4n2d = 4n - 2, with nn a positive integral.
