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.
