It is shown that the one-loop two-point amplitude in {\it Lorentz-invariant} non-commutative (NC) $ϕ^3$ theory is finite after subtraction in the commutative limit and satisfies the usual cutting rule, thereby eliminating the unitarity problem in Lorentz-non-invariant NC field theory in the approximation considered.
It is argued that the familiar algebra of the non-commutative space-time with $c$-number $θ^{μν}$ is inconsistent from a theoretical point of view. Consistent algebras are obtained by promoting $θ^{μν}$ to an anti-symmetric tensor operator ${\hatθ}^{μν}$. The simplest among them is Doplicher-Fredenhagen-Roberts (DFR) algebra in which the triple commutator among the coordinate operators is assumed to vanish. This allows us to define the Lorentz-covariant operator fields on the DFR algebra as operators diagonal in the 6-dimensional $θ$-space of the hermitian operators, ${\hatθ}^{μν}$. It is shown that we then recover Carlson-Carone-Zobin (CCZ) formulation of the Lorentz-invariant non-commutative gauge theory with no need of compactification of the extra 6 dimensions. It is also pointed out that a general argument concerning the normalizability of the weight function in the Lorentz metric leads to a division of the $θ$-space into two disjoint spaces not connected by any Lorentz transformation so that the CCZ covariant moment formula holds true in each space, separately. A non-commutative generalization of Connes' two-sheeted Minkowski space-time is also proposed. Two simple models of quantum field theory are reformulated on $M_4\times Z_2$ obtained in the commutative limit.
We consider what occurs when we remove one of the compositeness conditions proposed by Bardeen, Hill and Lindner that leads to predictions for the top quark mass conflicting with the experimental value. Through this consideration the condition for the Higgs particle to be the composite particle is reconsidered. We show that in this case, (I) the Higgs-Yukawa system of the standard model becomes equivalent to a non-local four-fermi system at a high-energy scale $Λ$, (II) The Higgs-Yukawa sector of the model becomes useless above the scale because the vacuum state cannot be defined. We regard the two phenomena as indications of the compositeness of the Higgs particle. It is suggested that the new physics above $Λ$ contains bi-local fields.
The bi-local model of hadrons is studied from the viewpoint of non-commutative geometry formulated so that Higgs-like scalar fields play the role of a bridge, the bi-local fields, connecting different spacetime points. We show that the resultant action for Higgs-like scalar fields has a structure similar to that of the linear sigma model. According to this formalism, we can deduce the dual nature of meson fields as the Nambu-Goldstone bosons associated with chiral symmetry breaking and bound states of quarks.
We study constraints among coupling constants of the standard model obtained in the noncommutative geometry (NCG) method. First, we analyze the evolution of the Higgs boson mass under the renormalization group by adopting the idea of Álvarez et al. For this analysis we derive two certain constraints by modifying Connes's way of constructing the standard model. Next, we find renormalization group invariant (RGI) constraints in the NCG method. We also consider the relation between the condition that a constraint among coupling constants of a model becomes RGI and the condition that the model becomes multiplicative renormalizable by using a simple example.
We study Sogami's generalized covariant derivative method for a $SU(2)_{L} \times SU(2)_{R} \times U(1)_{B-L} \times SU(3)_{c}$ model that contains bi-doublet and triplet Higgs bosons. In particular, a detailed study is made on the minimization conditions of the Higgs potential. It is known that a minimization condition and certain phenomenology for a extra gauge boson mass derive a restriction on potential parameters, which requires fine-tuning. We show that the restriction can be reduced to a condition of Yukawa coupling constants giving a heavy mass of the right-handed tau neutrino in our model. We also discuss the consistency among parameter restrictions of our model by taking phenomenology of the Higgs boson masses into account.
