Noncommutative Quantization for Noncommutative Field Theory

Abstract

We present a new procedure for quantizing field theory models on a noncommutative spacetime. The new quantization 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 the new quantization yeilds exactly the same correlation functions as those of the commutative field theory, that is, the noncommutative effects disappear completely after quantization. This implies, for instance, that by using the new quantization, the noncommutativity can be incorporated in the process of quantization, rahter than in the action as conventionally done.
