Canonical Quantization of Noncommutative Field Theory
Abstract
A simple method to canonically quantize noncommutative field theories is proposed. As a result, the elementary excitations of a (2n+1)-dimensional scalar field theory are shown to be bilocal objects living in an (n+1)-dimensional space-time. Feynman rules for their scattering are derived canonically. They agree, upon suitable redefinitions, with the rules obtained via star-product methods. The IR/UV connection is interpreted within this framework.
