Abstract

4D Quantum field theories are somehow squeezed between triviality and the Millennium Prize challenge. To get a little insight we relax a key condition on QFT – Poincaré or Euclidian invariance -- and study scalar quantum fields on noncommutative geometries. This gives the possibility of a topological expansion. The problem turns out to be tractable in every topological sector, and for the spherical sector the triviality problem disappears in 4D. In dimension 0 the control of all topologies is within reach, and remarkable connections to complex algebraic geometry and to enumerative geometry are found.
