On The Bound States Of Photons In Noncommutative Quantum Electrodynamics

TL;DR

This paper explores the theoretical possibility of photon bound states in noncommutative quantum electrodynamics, suggesting that non-perturbative effects could enable mass acquisition and bound state formation.

Contribution

It introduces a potential model adapted from QCD to analyze photon bound states in noncommutative QED, proposing a novel mechanism for mass generation of gauge particles.

Findings

Arguments support the existence of photon bound states.

Non-perturbative effects may induce mass in gauge particles.

Potential model analogy with QCD glue-balls.

Abstract

We consider the possibility that photons of noncommutative QED can make bound states. Using the potential model, developed based on the constituent gluon picture of QCD glue-balls, arguments are presented in favor of existence of these bound states. The basic ingredient of potential model is that the self-interacting massless gauge particles may get mass by inclusion non-perturbative effects.
