Renormalized Poincar\'e algebra for effective particles in quantum field theory
Abstract
Using an expansion in powers of an infinitesimally small coupling constant , all generators of the Poincar\'e group in local scalar quantum field theory with interaction term are expressed in terms of annihilation and creation operators and that result from a boost-invariant renormalization group procedure for effective particles. The group parameter is equal to the momentum-space width of form factors that appear in vertices of the effective-particle Hamiltonians, . It is verified for terms order 1, , and , that the calculated generators satisfy required commutation relations for arbitrary values of . One-particle eigenstates of are shown to properly transform under all Poincar\'e transformations. The transformations are obtained by exponentiating the calculated algebra. From a phenomenological point of view, this study is a prerequisite to construction of observables such as spin and angular momentum of hadrons in quantum chromodynamics.
