Abstract
The first lecture starts with a short review of quantum field theory,
including a discussion of the triviality problem. We intend to outline
how constructing a QFT on a noncommutative geometry instead of on
Euclidean space could help to solve this problem. The second lecture introduces the λΦ4-model
on a noncommutative geometry. We derive the hierarchy of
Dyson-Schwinger equations and explain how to solve the equation for the
planar two-point function. In case that the noncommutative geometry is
the 4-dimensional Moyal plane, the triviality problem is indeed absent. The third lecture addresses higher topological sectors. We explain how
topological recursion (in a variant with blobs) organises the
evaluation.
