NONCOMMUTATIVE QUANTIZATION FOR NONCOMMUTATIVE FIELD THEORY

Abstract

We present a new procedure for quantizing field theory models on a noncommutative space–time. Our new quantization scheme depends on the noncommutative parameter explicitly and reduces to the canonical quantization in the commutative limit. It is shown that a quantum field theory constructed by this quantization yields exactly the same correlation functions as those of the commutative field theory, that is, the noncommutative effects disappear completely after the quantization. This implies, for instance, that the noncommutativity may be incorporated in the process of quantization, rather than in the action as conventionally done.
