Induced magnetic moment in noncommutative Chern-Simons scalar QED

Abstract

We compute the one loop, $O(\th)$ correction to the vertex in the noncommutative Chern-Simons theory with scalar fields in the fundamental representation. Emphasis is placed on the parity odd part of the vertex, since the same leads to the magnetic moment structure. We find that, apart from the commutative term, a $\th$-dependent magnetic moment type structure is induced. In addition to the usual commutative graph, cubic photon vertices also give a finite $\th$ dependent contribution. Furthermore, the two two-photon vertex diagrams, that give zero in the commutative case yield finite $\th$ dependent terms to the vertex function.
