Abstract: We prove that the real four-dimensional Euclidean noncommutative phi^4-model is renormalisable to all orders in perturbation theory. Compared with the commutative case, the bare action of relevant and marginal couplings contains necessarily an additional term: an harmonic oscillator potential for the free scalar field action. This entails a modified dispersion relation for the free theory, which becomes important at large distances (UV/IR-entanglement). The renormalisation proof relies on flow equations for the expansion coefficients of the effective action with respect to scalar fields written in the matrix base of the noncommutative R^4. The renormalisation flow depends on the topology of ribbon graphs and on the asymptotic and local behaviour of the propagator governed by orthogonal Meixner polynomials.


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.
