Abstract

We present a review of the one-loop photon (Π\Pi) and neutrino (Σ\Sigma) two-point functions in a covariant and deformed U(1)\rm U(1) gauge-theory on the 4-dimensional noncommutative spaces, determined by a constant antisymmetric tensor θμν\theta^{\mu\nu}, and by a parameter-space (κf,κg)(\kappa_f,\kappa_g), respectively. For the general fermion-photon Sf(κf)S_f(\kappa_f) and photon self-interaction Sg(κg)S_g(\kappa_g) the closed form results reveal two-point functions with all kind of pathological terms: the UV divergence, the quadratic UV/IR mixing terms as well as a logarithmic IR divergent term of the type ln(μ2(θp)2)\ln(\mu^2(\theta p)^2). In addition, the photon-loop produces new tensor structures satisfying transversality condition by themselves. We show that the photon two-point function in the 4-dimensional Euclidean spacetime can be reduced to two finite terms by imposing a specific full rank of θμν\theta^{\mu\nu} and setting deformation parameters (κf,κg)=(0,3)(\kappa_f,\kappa_g)=(0,3). In this case the neutrino two-point function vanishes. Thus for a specific point (0,3)(0,3) in the parameter-space (κf,κg)(\kappa_f,\kappa_g), a covariant θ\theta-exact approach is able to produce a divergence-free result for the one-loop quantum corrections, having also both well-defined commutative limit and point-like limit of an extended object.
