Description
We analyze renormalization and the high temperature expansion of the one-loop effective action of the space-time noncommutative ϕ^4 theory by using the zeta function regularization in the imaginary time formalism (i.e., on S^1 x R^3). Interestingly enough, there are no mixed (non-planar) contributions to the counterterms as well as to the power-law high temperature asymptotics. We also study the Wick rotation and formulate assumptions under which the real and imaginary time formalisms are equivalent.
