The quantization of the noncommutative [Formula: see text], U(1) super-Yang–Mills action is performed in the superfield formalism. We calculate the one-loop corrections to the self-energy of the vector superfield. Although the power-counting theorem predicts quadratic ultraviolet and infrared divergences, there are actually only logarithmic UV and IR divergences, which is a crucial feature of noncommutative supersymmetric field theories.

By an orthodox application of the perturbation theory to the general case of a quantized field, it is shown th at the divergence difficulty hitherto encountered arises from a faulty application of the expansion method. The difficulty, in certain cases, disappears if the degeneracy of the unperturbed system is properly treated by the method of secular perturbation. Physically, this amounts to a rigorous treatm ent of the radiation reaction, in such cases where its effect is strong.

In an earlier paper (1), which will be referred to as A, the present author has demonstrated the relativistic invariance, for general transformations of coordinates, of the Einstein-Bose and Fermi-Dirac quantizations of linear field equations derived from higher order Lagrangians. The proof consisted of the identification of the commutation relations with the generalized Poisson brackets introduced by Weiss (2) and proving the invariance of the latter.

We discuss peculiarities of quantum fields in de Sitter (dS) space on the example of the self-interacting massive real scalar, minimally coupled to the gravity background. Nonconformal quantum field theories (QFTs) in dS space show very special infrared behavior, which is not shared by quantum fields neither in flat nor in anti-dS space: in dS space loops are not suppressed in comparison with tree level contributions because there are strong infrared corrections. That is true even for massive fields. Our main concern is the interrelation between these infrared effects, the invariance of the QFT under the dS isometry and the (in)stability of dS invariant states (and of dS space itself) under nonsymmetric perturbations.
