We discuss the renormalizability of the noncommutative U(1)Higgs-Kibble model formulated within the enveloping-algebra approach. We consider both the phase of the model with unbroken gauge symmetry and the phase with spontaneously broken gauge symmetry. We show that against all odds the gauge sector of the model is always one-loop renormalizable at first order in theta^{mu nu}, perhaps, hinting at the existence of a new symmetry of the gauge sector of the model. However, we also show that the matter sector of the model is non-renormalizable whatever the phase.

UV/IR mixing is one of the most important features of noncommutative field theories. As a consequence of this coupling of the UV and IR sectors, the configuration of fields at the zero momentum limit in these theories is a very singular configuration. We show that the renormalization conditions set at a particular momentum configuration with a fixed number of zero momenta, renormalizes the Greens functions for any general momenta only when this configuration has same set of zero momenta. Therefore only when renormalization conditions are set at a point where all the external momenta are nonzero, the quantum theory is renormalizable for all values of nonzero momentum. This arises as a result of different scaling behaviors of Greens functions with respect to the UV cutoff ($Lambda$) for configurations containing different set of zero momenta. We study this in the noncommutative $phi^4$ theory and analyse similar results for the Gross-Neveu model at one loop level. We next show this general feature using Wilsonian RG of Polchinski in the globally O(N) symmetric scalar theory and prove the renormalizability of the theory to all orders with an infrared cutoff. In the context of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in noncommutative scalar theory, it is essential to note the different scaling behaviors of Greens functions with respect to $Lambda$ for different set of zero momenta configurations. We show that in the broken phase of the theory the Ward identities are satisfied to all orders only when one keeps an infrared regulator by shifting to a nonconstant vacuum.
Equivalence of partition functions for U(1) gauge theory and its dual in appropriate phase spaces is established in terms of constrained hamiltonian formalism of their parent action. Relations between the electric--magnetic duality transformation and the (S) duality transformation which inverts the strong coupling domains to the weak coupling domains of noncommutative U(1) gauge theory are discussed in terms of the lagrangian and the hamiltonian densities. The approach presented for the commutative case is utilized to demonstrate that noncommutative U(1) gauge theory and its dual possess the same partition function in their phase spaces at the first order in the noncommutativity parameter theta .
We study the noncommutative $phi^4$ theory with spontaneously broken global O(2) symmetry in 4 dimensions. We demonstrate the renormalizability at one loop. This does not require any choice of ordering of the fields in the interaction terms. It involves regulating the ultraviolet and infrared divergences in a manner consistent with the Ward identities.
Parent actions for component fields are utilized to derive the dual of supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory in 4 dimensions. Generalization of the Seiberg-Witten map to the component fields of noncommutative supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory is analyzed. Through this transformation we proposed parent actions for noncommutative supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory as generalization of the ordinary case.Duals of noncommutative supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory are obtained. Duality symmetry under the interchange of fields with duals accompanied by the replacement of the noncommutativity parameter Theta_{mu u} with tilde{Theta}_{mu u} = epsilon_{mu urhosigma}Theta^{rhosigma} of the non--supersymmetric case is broken at the level of actions. We proposed a noncommutative parent action for the component fields which generates actions possessing this duality symmetry.
The renormalization properties of two local BRST invariant composite operators, $(O,V_mu)$, corresponding respectively to the gauge invariant description of the Higgs particle and of the massive gauge vector boson, are scrutinized in the $U(1)$ Higgs model by means of the algebraic renormalization setup. Their renormalization $Z$s factors are explicitly evaluated at one-loop order in the $overline{text{MS}}$ scheme by taking into due account the mixing with other gauge invariant operators. In particular, it turns out that the operator $V_mu$ mixes with the gauge invariant quantity $partial_ u F_{mu u}$, which has the same quantum numbers, giving rise to a $2 times 2$ mixing matrix. Moreover, two additional powerful Ward identities exist which enable us to determine the whole set of $Z$s factors entering the $2 times 2$ mixing matrix as well as the $Z$ factor of the operator $O$ in a purely algebraic way. An explicit check of these Ward identities is provided. The final setup obtained allows for computing perturbatively the full renormalized result for any $n$-point correlation function of the scalar and vector composite operators.
