UV/IR Mixing and Anomalies in Noncommutative Gauge Theories


Abstract in English

Using path integral method (Fujikawas method) we calculate anomalies in noncommutative gauge theories with fermions in the bi-fundamental and adjoint representations. We find that axial and chiral gauge anomalies coming from non-planar contributions are derived in the low noncommutative momentum limit $widetilde{p}^{mu}(equiv theta^{mu u}p_{ u}) to 0$. The adjoint chiral fermion carries no anomaly in the non-planar sector in $D=4k (k=1,2,...,)$ dimensions. It is naturally shown from the path integral method that anomalies in non-planar sector originate in UV/IR mixing.
