Space-Time Noncommutative Field Theories And Unitarity
read the original abstract
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.

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