High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-09-13 v1

Abstract

We study the problem of determining the distribution of vertices of a particular given type in the set of all Feynman tree graphs in quantum field theories. We show that in almost all cases a Gaussian distribution arises asymptotically, and we compute the mean and variance of this distribution for several theories. We show the distribution's `fine structure', arising from topological sum rules, can be obtained.
