We study the perturbative unitarity of noncommutative scalar field theories. Field theories with space-time noncommutativity do not have a unitary S-matrix. Field theories with only space noncommutativity are perturbatively unitary. This can be understood from string theory, since space noncommutative field theories describe a low energy limit of string theory in a background magnetic field. On the other hand, there is no regime in which space-time noncommutative field theory is an appropriate description of string theory. Whenever space-time noncommutative field theory becomes relevant massive open string states cannot be neglected.

  1. A new perspective on non-commutative deformations of field and gauge theories

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Star products built from active symmetry transformations give gauge-invariant non-commutative theories under a weakened unimodularity condition, with a planar equivalence theorem keeping internal Feynman structure undeformed.

  2. Holography with Null Boundaries

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    D1-D5-F1 string theory in a non-commutative decoupling limit yields a holographic correspondence for spacetimes with a null boundary, interpolating between AdS3 and a six-dimensional asymptotic metric.

  3. IR Dynamics from UV Divergences: UV/IR Mixing, NCFT, and the Hierarchy Problem

    hep-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In noncommutative Yukawa theory, the CPT-required pair of interaction orderings converts the one-loop ultraviolet quadratic divergence into an infrared pole that is reachable in the s-channel.

  4. Constraining non-commutative geometry with W/Z+jet production at the LHC

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Non-commutative spacetime corrections to W/Z+jet production appear at first order in Θ, and ATLAS Z+jet data constrain the non-commutative scale to Λ ≳ 2 TeV.

  5. Entanglement through high-energy scattering in noncommutative quantum electrodynamics

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In noncommutative QED, tree-level photon and head-on fermion scattering with opposite helicities give the same concurrence as gluon scattering, maximal at a 90-degree scattering angle, while a right-angle fermion coll...

  6. Top-quark pair production in electron-positron collisions within the minimal noncommutative Standard Model

    hep-ph 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Noncommutative effects up to second order in Θ induce measurable deviations in the e+e− → tt̄ total cross section, polar and azimuthal distributions, and forward-backward asymmetry at ILC and CLIC energies.

  7. Quantum spacetime and quantum fluctuations in the IKKT model at weak coupling

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    In the IKKT matrix model, quantum fluctuations are negligible compared to noncommutativity scales at weak coupling for Moyal-Weyl and covariant quantum spacetime backgrounds, justifying semi-classical emergent geometry.
