ON FINITE NONCOMMUTATIVITY IN QUANTUM FIELD THEORY

Finite Temperature Quantum Field Theory with Impurities

We apply the concept of reflection-transmission (RT) algebra, originally developed in the context of integrable systems in 1+1 space-time dimensions, to the study of finite temperature quantum field theory with impurities in higher dimensions. We consider a scalar field in (s + 1) + 1 space-time dimensions, interacting with impurities localized on s-dimensional hyperplanes, but without self-int...

Neutrix Calculus and Finite Quantum Field Theory

In general, quantum field theories (QFT) require regularizations and infinite renormalizations due to ultraviolet divergences in their loop calculations. Furthermore, perturbation series in theories like QED are not convergent series, but are asymptotic series. We apply neutrix calculus, developed in connection with asymptotic series and divergent integrals, to QFT, obtaining finite renormaliza...

Towards Finite Quantum Field Theory in Non-commutative Geometry

We describe the self-interacting scalar field on the truncated sphere and we perform the quantization using the functional (path) integral approach. The theory posseses a full symmetry with respect to the isometries of the sphere. We explicitely show that the model is finite and the UV-regularization automatically takes place.
