Abstract
In this article we calculate several divergent amplitudes in
-theory on
non-commutative space-time (
) in the framework of
interaction-point time-ordered perturbation theory (IPTOPT), continuing work
done in hep-th/0209253. On the ground of these results we find corresponding
Feynman rules that allow for a much easier diagrammatic calculation of
amplitudes. The most important feature of the present theory is the absence of
the UV/IR mixing problem in all amplitudes calculated so far. Although we are
not yet able to give a rigorous proof, we provide a strong argument for this
result to hold in general. Together with the Feynman rules we found, this opens
promising vistas onto the systematic renormalization of non-commutative field
theories.
