Renormalisation of \(\phi^4\)-theory on noncommutative \(\mathbb R^{4}\) in the matrix base (Q1781842): Difference between revisions

The papers shows that the real four-dimensional Euclidean noncommutative \(\phi^4\)-model is renormalisable to all orders in perturbation theory. The proof is hard, intricate and lengthy. A long introduction displayed its heuristics and its strategy. Loosely speaking one re-write the problem in the harmonic oscillator base of the Moyal plane and then one uses Meixner polynomials to solve the free theory. The direct calculation of the Feynman graphs is intractable, and to circumvent this hard task, one refers to a renormalization method based on flow equations which they have previously written for non-local (dynamical) matrix models. The matrix Polchinski equation is solved by using ribbon graphs drawn on Riemann surfaces.
