$L_{\mathrm{\infty }}$-algebra of braided electrodynamics

Using the recently developed formalism of braided noncommutative field theory, we construct an explicit example of braided electrodynamics, that is, a noncommutative $U(1)$ gauge theory coupled to a Dirac fermion. We construct the braided $L_{\mathrm{\infty }}$-algebra of this field theory and apply the formalism to obtain the braided equations of motion, action functional and conserved matter current. The braided deformation leads to a modification of the charge conservation. Finally, the Feynman integral appearing in the one-loop contribution to the vacuum polarization diagram is calculated. There are no non-planar diagrams, but the UV/IR mixing appears nevertheless. We comment on this unexpected result.
