Abstract

Quantum field theory on the noncommutative two-dimensional Minkowski space with Grosse-Wulkenhaar potential is discussed in two ways: In terms of a continuous set of generalised eigenfunctions of the wave operator, and directly in position space. In both settings, we find a new type of divergence in planar graphs. It is present at and above the self-dual point. This new kind of divergence might make the construction of a Minkowski space version of the Grosse-Wulkenhaar model impossible.
