Using the background-field method we demonstrate the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) structure of counterterms in a broad class of gauge theories. Put simply, we show that gauge invariance is preserved by renormalization in local gauge…

We illustrate the causal perturbation and causal renormalization method (the Epstein-Glaser method) for the case of the supersymmetric Wess-Zumino model. Our study is based on the Hilbert space structure of the N=1 superspace.

We present an updated review of Kraichnan's derivation of Einstein's equations from quantum field theory, including the period after the discovery of the Higgs mechanism. Gravitation in the Einstein sense is seen to be renormalizable and…

The renormalization group method is applied to the study of homogeneous and flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker type Universes, filled with a causal bulk viscous cosmological fluid. The starting point of the study is the consideration of the…

The concept of perturbative gauge invariance formulated exclusively by means of asymptotic fields is used to construct massive gauge theories. We consider the interactions of $r$ massive and $s$ massless gauge fields together with $(r+s)$…

In the perturbative approach to quantum field theory it is common to replace the propagator $i (p^{2}-m_{0}^{2}+i\varepsilon )^{-1}$ for a scalar field by a similar expression, namely $iZ (p^{2}-m^{2}+i\varepsilon )^{-1}$, where the shift…

The usual derivation of the Lagrangian of a model for massive vector bosons, by spontaneous symmetry breaking of a gauge theory, implies that the prefactors of the various interaction terms are uniquely determined functions of the coupling…

There is noticeable consensus among physicists and philosophers that only gauge-invariant quantities can be physically real. However, this insight that physical quantities must be gauge-invariant is not well-reflected in standard approaches…

In the Standard Model of particle physics, the mass of the Higgs particle can be linked to the scale at which the Standard Model breaks down due to a Landau pole/triviality problem: for a Higgs mass somewhat higher than the measured value,…

It is argued that the massive non-Abelian gauge field theory without involving Higgs bosons may be well established on the basis of gauge-invariance principle because the dynamics of the field is gauge-invariant in the physical space…

Inertial and gravitational mass or energy-momentum need not be the same for virtual quantum states. Separating their roles naturally leads to the gauge theory of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of an inner four-dimensional space. The…
