Abstract

We describe the application of the continuous wavelet transform to calculation of the Green functions in quantum field theory: scalar ϕ4\phi^4 theory, quantum electrodynamics, quantum chromodynamics. The method of continuous wavelet transform in quantum field theory presented in M.Altaisky Phys. Rev. D81(2010)125003 for the scalar ϕ4\phi^4 theory, consists in substitution of the local fields ϕ(x)\phi(x) by those dependent on both the position xx and the resolution aa. The substitution of the action S[ϕ(x)]S[\phi(x)] by the action S[ϕa(x)]S[\phi_a(x)] makes the local theory into nonlocal one, and implies the causality conditions related to the scale aa, the region causality J.D. Christensen and L. Crane, J.Math. Phys 46 (2005) 122502. These conditions make the Green functions G(x1,a1,...,xn,an)=<ϕa1(x1)...ϕan(xn)>G(x_1,a_1,..., x_n,a_n)=<\phi_{a_1}(x_1)...\phi_{a_n}(x_n)> finite for any given set of regions by means of an effective cutoff scale A=min(a1,...,an)A=\min (a_1,...,a_n).
