Lorentz-Invariant Non-Commutative QED

Abstract: Lorentz-invariant non-commutative QED (NCQED) is constructed such that it should be a part of Lorentz-invariant non-commutative standard model (NCSM), a subject to be treated in later publications. Our NCSM is based on Connes' observation that the total fermion field in the standard model may be regarded as a bi-module over a flavor-color algebra. In this paper, it is shown that there exist two massless gauge fields in NCQED which are interchanged by C′ transformation. Since C′ is reduced to the conventional charge conjugation C in the commutative limit, the two gauge fields become identical to the photon field in the same limit, which couples to only four spinors with charges pm2,pm1. Following Carlson-Carone-Zobin, our NCQED respects Lorentz invariance employing Doplicher-Fredenhagen-Roberts' algebra instead of the usual algebra with constant hetamuu. In the new version hetamuu becomes an integration variable. We show using a simple NC scalar model that the heta integration gives an {it invariant} damping factor instead of the oscillating one to the nonplanar self-energy diagram in the one-loop approximation. Seiberg-Witten map shows that the heta expansion of NCQED generates exotic but well-motivated derivative interactions beyond QED with allowed charges being only 0,pm1,pm2.
