Abstract: The noncommutative string theory is described by embedding open string theory in a constant second rank antisymmetric $B_{muu}$ field and the noncommutative gauge theory is defined by a deformed $star$ product. As a check, study of various scattering amplitudes in both noncommutative string and noncommutative gauge theory confirm that in the $alph{a}^{{}^{\prime }}o0$ limit, the noncommutative string theoretic amplitude goes over to the noncommutative gauge theoretic amplitude, and the couplings are related as $g_{YM}=G_{0}sqrtfrac12alph{a}^{{}^{\prime }}$. Furthermore we show that in this limit there will not be any correction to the gauge theoretic action because of absence of massive modes. We get sin/cos factors in the scattering amplitudes depending on the odd/even number of external photons.

Review text

Various scattering amplitudes in both noncommutative string and noncommutative gauge theory are computed and confirm that in the \(\alpha'\to 0\) limit, the noncommutative string theoretic amplitude goes over to the noncommutative gauge theoretic amplitude and the couplings are related by \[ g_{\text{YM}}= G_0\sqrt{{1\over 2\alpha'}},\qquad G_0= 16(\pi^{7/2}) G_s(\alpha^{\prime 2}), \] where \(G_s\) is the open string coupling constant [cf. \textit{N. Seiberg} and \textit{E. Witten}, J. High Energy Phys. 1999, No. 9, Paper No. 32 (1999; Zbl 0957.81085)]. The outline of the paper is as follows: In Sec. 2, following [\textit{J. Polchinski}, String Theory, Cambridge, Vol. I (2000; Zbl 1006.81521), Vol. II (2000; Zbl 1006.81522)], the four-point gauge boson amplitude in noncommutative string theory is computed. Then, fixing the \(\text{SL}(2, \mathbb{R})\) invariance by inserting the vertex operators at \(0\), \(1\), \(\infty\), the three-point amplitude for the scattering of open strings in noncommutative string theory is derived. Then, through explicit calculation, the noncommutative string theory is shown to go over to the corresponding noncommutative field theory in the \(\alpha'\to 0\) limit. In Sec. 3, four-point amplitudes for the case of one-photon, two-photon, three-photon with three-tachyon, two-tachyon and one-tachyon respectively in noncommutative bosonic string theory are derived. They contain sin/cos factors depending on the odd/even number of external photons. Because of the absence of massive modes, there will not be any correction to the gauge theoretic action in \(\alpha'\to 0\) limit, in these amplitudes.
