Abstract

Wavelet transform has been attracting attention as a tool for regularization of gauge theories since the first paper of (Federbush, Progr. Theor. Phys. 94, 1135, 1995), where the integral representation of the fields by means of the wavelet transform was suggested: Aμ(x)=1CψR+×Rd1adg(xba)Aμa(b)daddba,A_{\mu}(x) = \frac{1}{C_\psi} \int_{\R_+ \times\R^d} \frac{1}{a^d} g \left(\frac{x-b}{a} \right) A_{\mu a}(b) \frac{dad^db}{a}, with Aμa(b)A_{\mu a}(b) being understood as the fields AμA_\mu measured at point bRdb\in \R^d with resolution aR+a\in\R_+. In present paper we consider a wavelet-based theory of gauge fields, provide a counterpart of the gauge transform for the scale-dependent fields: Aμa(x)Aμa(x)+\dμfa(x)A_{\mu a}(x)\to A_{\mu a}(x)+\d_\mu f_a(x), and derive the Ward-Takahashi identities for them.
