The aim of this paper is to describe how to use regularization and renormalization to construct a perturbative quantum field theory from a Lagrangian. We first define renormalizations and Feynman measures, and show that although there need…
The pion electromagnetic form factor F_{\pi}(Q^{2}) is calculated at the leading order of pQCD using the running coupling constant (\alpha_{S}(Q^{2}(1-x)(1-y))) approach. The resummed expression for F_{\pi}(Q^{2}) is found. It is shown that…
As the number of loops goes to infinity Feynman $\alpha$-parameters undergo a fixing mechanism which entails a gaussian representation for propagators in scalar field theories. Here, we describe this mechanism in the fullest detail. The…
We consider finite iterated generalized harmonic sums weighted by the binomial $\binom{2k}{k}$ in numerators and denominators. A large class of these functions emerges in the calculation of massive Feynman diagrams with local operator…
We consider an electron which is electromagnetically dressed in such a way that it is both gauge invariant and that it has the associated electric and magnetic fields expected of a moving charge. We study the propagator of this dressed…

It has been proposed that the noncommutative geometry of the "fuzzy" 2-sphere provides a nonperturbative regularization of scalar field theories. This generalizes to compact Kaehler manifolds where simple field theories are regularized by…
