Abstract

We study for subgroups GU(N)G\subseteq U(N) partial summations of the θ\theta-expanded perturbation theory. On diagrammatic level a summation procedure is established, which in the U(N) case delivers the full star-product induced rules. Thereby we uncover a cancellation mechanism between certain diagrams, which is crucial in the U(N) case, but set out of work for GU(N)G\subset U(N). In addition, an explicit proof is given that for GU(N),GU(M),M<NG\subset U(N), G\neq U(M), M<N there is no partial summation of the θ\theta -expanded rules resulting in new Feynman rules using the U(N) star-product vertices and besides suitable modified propagators at most a finitefinite number of additional building blocks. Finally, we show that certain SO(N) Feynman rules conjectured in the literature cannot be derived from the enveloping algebra approach.
