One-loop effective potential for scalar and vector fields on higher dimensional noncommutative flat manifolds

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

The effective potentials for massless scalar and vector quantum field theories on D dimensional manifolds with p compact noncommutative extra dimensions are evaluated by means of dimensional regularization implemented by zeta function techniques. It is found that the zeta function associated with the one-loop operator may not be regular at the origin. Thus, the related heat-kernel trace has a logarithmic term in the short t asymptotics expansion. Consequences of this fact are briefly discussed.
