Abstract
We compute the one loop Casimir energy of an interacting scalar field in a compact non-commutative space of R-1,R-d X T-theta(2), where we have ordina ry at (1 + d)-dimensional Minkowski space and two-dimensional non-commuativ e torus. We find that next order correction due to the noncommutativity sti ll contributes an attractive force and thus will have a quantum instability . However, vector field with periodic boundary condition gives repulsive fo rce for d > 5 and we get a stabilized radius. This suggests a stabilization mechanism for a senario in Kaluza-Klein theory, where some of the extra di mensions are non commutative.
