Let $\mathscr{T}$ be the regularity structure associated with a given system of singular stochastic PDEs. The paracontrolled representation of the $\sf \Pi$ map provides a linear parametrization of the nonlinear space of admissible models…
Definition of Feynman integrals as solutions of some well defined systems of differential equations is proposed. This definition is equivalent to usual one but needs no regularization and application of $R$-operation. It is argued that…
We complete our study of non-Abelian gauge theories in the framework of Epstein-Glaser approach to renormalization theory including in the model an arbitrary number of Dirac Fermions. We consider the consistency of the model up to the third…
We perform a complete and systematic analysis of the solution space of six-dimensional Einstein gravity. We show that a particular subclass of solutions -- those that are analytic near $\mathcal{I}^+$ -- admit a non-trivial action of the…
We propose using the method of subtraction to renormalize quantum gauge theories with chiral fermions and with spontaneous symmetry breaking. The Ward-Takahashi identities derived from the BRST invariance in these theories are complex and…
$S$-matrix elements are invariant under field redefinitions of the Lagrangian. They are determined by geometric quantities such as the curvature of the field-space manifold of scalar and gauge fields. We present a formalism where scalar and…
Anomalies and BRST invariance are governed, in the context of Lagrangian Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization, by the master equation, whose classical limit is $(S, S)=0$. Using Zimmerman's normal products and the BPHZ renormalisation method, we…
The Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian for gravity is non-renormalizable at loop level. However, it can be treated in the effective field theory framework which means that gravity as an effective theory can be renormalized when a proper expansion…
Dimensional regularization of Euclidean momentum space integrals is a highly successful technique in renormalization of quantum field theories. While it yields a straightforward algorithmic method, with which to evaluate diagrams beyond…
The QED renormalization is restudied by using a mass-dependent subtraction which is performed at a time-like renormalization point. The subtraction exactly respects necessary physical and mathematical requirements such as the gauge…
We propose a novel regularization scheme in quantum field theory, denominator regularization (den reg). As simple to apply as dimensional regularization, and similarly compatible with a minimal subtraction renormalization scheme, den reg…
We present a general formalism that allows for the computation of large-order renormalized expansions in the spacetime representation, effectively doubling the numerically attainable perturbation order of renormalized Feynman diagrams. We…
We discuss the regularization of certain hypergeometric integrals appearing in 2D CFT, a step needed in the construction of the BPZ minimal models via the Coulomb gas formalism. The method is a generalization of Pochhammer's regularization…
We review our recent work, hep-th/9803030, on the constraints imposed by global or local symmetries on perturbative quantum field theories. The analysis is performed in the Bogoliubov-Shirkov-Epstein-Glaser formulation of perturbative…
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.
The mathematical formalism necessary for the diagramatic evaluation of quantum corrections to a conformally invariant field theory for a self-interacting scalar field on a curved manifold with boundary is considered. The evaluation of…
