One-loop Shift in Noncommutative Chern-Simons Coupling

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v3

Abstract

In this paper we study the one-loop shift in the coupling constant in a noncommutative pure U(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory in three dimensions. The one-loop shift is shown to be a constant proportional to NN, independent of noncommutativity parameters, and non-vanishing for U(1) theory. Possible physical and mathematical implications of this result are discussed.
