On Finite 4D Quantum Field Theory in Non-Commutative Geometry

The truncated 4-dimensional sphere $S^4$ and the action of the self-interacting scalar field on it are constructed. The path integral quantization is performed while simultaneously keeping the SO(5) symmetry and the finite number of degrees of freedom. The usual field theory UV-divergences are manifestly absent.Comment: 18 pages, LaTeX, few misprints are corrected; one section is remove

Two and Three Loops Beta Function of Non Commutative Φ44\Phi^4_4 Theory

The simplest non commutative renormalizable field theory, the $\phi_4^4$ model on four dimensional Moyal space with harmonic potential is asymptotically safe at one loop, as shown by H. Grosse and R. Wulkenhaar. We extend this result up to three loops. If this remains true at any loop, it should allow a full non perturbative construction of this model.Comment: 24 pages, 7 figure

Spin dependent fragmentation function at Belle

The measurement of the so far unknown chiral-odd quark transverse spin distribution in either semi-inclusive DIS (SIDIS) or inclusive measurements in pp collisions at RHIC has an additional chiral-odd fragmentation function appearing in the cross section. These chiral-odd fragmentation functions (FF) can for example be the so-called Collins FF or the Interference FF. HERMES has given a first hint that these FFs are nonzero, however in order to measure the transversity one needs these FFs to be precisely known. We have used 29.0 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider to measure azimuthal asymmetries for different charge combinations of pion pairs and thus access the Collins FF.Comment: Results presented at the DIS 2006 conference in Tsukuba, Japa

Coplanar constant mean curvature surfaces

We consider constant mean curvature surfaces of finite topology, properly embedded in three-space in the sense of Alexandrov. Such surfaces with three ends and genus zero were constructed and completely classified by the authors in arXiv:math.DG/0102183. Here we extend the arguments to the case of an arbitrary number of ends, under the assumption that the asymptotic axes of the ends lie in a common plane: we construct and classify the entire family of these genus-zero coplanar constant mean curvature surfaces.Comment: 35 pages, 10 figures; minor revisions including one new figure; to appear in Comm.

Triunduloids: Embedded constant mean curvature surfaces with three ends and genus zero

In 1841, Delaunay constructed the embedded surfaces of revolution with constant mean curvature (CMC); these unduloids have genus zero and are now known to be the only embedded CMC surfaces with two ends and finite genus. Here, we construct the complete family of embedded CMC surfaces with three ends and genus zero; they are classified using their asymptotic necksizes. We work in a class slightly more general than embedded surfaces, namely immersed surfaces which bound an immersed three-manifold, as introduced by Alexandrov.Comment: LaTeX, 22 pages, 2 figures (8 ps files); full version of our announcement math.DG/9903101; final version (minor revisions) to appear in Crelle's J. reine angew.

Constant mean curvature surfaces with three ends

We announce the classification of complete, almost embedded surfaces of constant mean curvature, with three ends and genus zero: they are classified by triples of points on the sphere whose distances are the asymptotic necksizes of the three ends.Comment: LaTex, 4 pages, 1 postscript figur

Induced Gauge Theory on a Noncommutative Space

We consider a scalar $\phi^4$ theory on canonically deformed Euclidean space in 4 dimensions with an additional oscillator potential. This model is known to be renormalisable. An exterior gauge field is coupled in a gauge invariant manner to the scalar field. We extract the dynamics for the gauge field from the divergent terms of the 1-loop effective action using a matrix basis and propose an action for the noncommutative gauge theory, which is a candidate for a renormalisable model.Comment: Typos corrected, one reference added; eqn.

Regularization of 2d supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory via non commutative geometry

The non commutative geometry is a possible framework to regularize Quantum Field Theory in a nonperturbative way. This idea is an extension of the lattice approximation by non commutativity that allows to preserve symmetries. The supersymmetric version is also studied and more precisely in the case of the Schwinger model on supersphere [14]. This paper is a generalization of this latter work to more general gauge groups
