Interacting fermions on noncommutative spaces: Exactly solvable quantum field theories in 2n+1 dimensions
Abstract
I present a novel class of exactly solvable quantum field theories. They describe non-relativistic fermions on even dimensional flat space, coupled to a constant external magnetic field and a four point interaction defined with the Groenewold-Moyal star product. Using Hamiltonian quantization and a suitable regularization, I show that these models have a dynamical symmetry corresponding to at the special points where the magnetic field is related to the matrix defining the star product as . I construct all eigenvalues and eigenstates of the many-body Hamiltonian at these special points. I argue that this solution cannot be obtained by any mean-field theory, i.e. the models describe correlated fermions. I also mention other possible interpretations of these models in solid state physics.
