Abstract Quantum field theory defined on a noncommutative space is a useful toy model of quantum gravity and is known to have several intriguing properties, such as nonlocality and UV/IR mixing. They suggest novel types of correlation among the degrees of freedom of different energy scales. In this paper, we investigate such correlations by the use of entanglement entropy in the momentum space. We explicitly evaluate the entanglement entropy of scalar field theory on a fuzzy sphere and find that it exhibits different behaviors from that on the usual continuous sphere. We argue that these differences would originate in different characteristics; non-planar contributions and matrix regularizations. It is also found that the mutual information between the low and the high momentum modes shows different scaling behaviors when the effect of a cutoff becomes important.

For slowly varying fields the vacuum functional of a quantum field theory may be expanded in terms of local functionals. This expansion satisfies its own form of the Schrödinger equation from which the expansion coefficients can be found. For scalar field theory in 1+1 dimensions we show that this approach correctly reproduces the short-distance properties as contained in the counterterms. We also describe an approximate simplification that occurs for the sine–Gordon and sinh–Gordon vacuum functionals.

We derive the classical transport equation, in scalar field theory with a g2V(ϕ) interaction, from the equation of motion for the quantum field. We obtain a very simple, but iterative, expression for the effective action Γ which generates all the n-point Green functions in the high-temperature limit. An explicit and closed form is given for Γ in the static case.

AbstractThe renormalization of entanglement entropy of quantum field theories is investigated in the simplest setting with a λϕ4 scalar field theory. The 3+1 dimensional spacetime is separated into two regions by an infinitely flat 2-dimensional interface. The entanglement entropy of the system across the interface has an elegant geometrical interpretation using the replica trick, which requires putting the field theory on a curved spacetime background. We demonstrate that the theory, and hence the entanglement entropy, is renormalizable at order λ once all the relevant operators up to dimension 4 are included in the action. This exercise has a one-to-one correspondence to entanglement entropy interpretation of the black hole entropy which suggests that our treatment is sensible. Our study suggests that entanglement entropy is renormalizable and is a physical quantity.

In this short review we describe some aspects of [Formula: see text]-deformation. After discussing the algebraic and geometric approaches to [Formula: see text]-Poincaré algebra we construct the free scalar field theory, both on noncommutative [Formula: see text]-Minkowski space and on curved momentum space. Finally, we make a few remarks concerning the interacting scalar field.
