We explore inequality constraints as a new tool for numerically evaluating Feynman integrals. A convergent Feynman integral is non-negative if the integrand is non-negative in either loop momentum space or Feynman parameter space. Applying…
Renormalization plays an important role in the theoretically and mathematically careful analysis of models in condensed-matter physics. I review selected results about correlated-fermion systems, ranging from mathematical theorems to…
We develop a renormalisation scheme for time--ordered products in interacting field theories on curved spacetimes which consists of an analytic regularisation of Feynman amplitudes and a minimal subtraction of the resulting pole parts. This…
It is shown how nucleon-nucleon potentials can be defined in N dimensions, using dimensional regularization to continue amplitudes. This provides an easy way to separate out contact ($\delta$-function) terms arising from renormalization. An…
In this paper the problem of recovering a regularized solution of the Fredholm integral equations of the first kind with Hermitian and square-integrable kernels, and with data corrupted by additive noise, is considered. Instead of using a…
Most renormalizable quantum field theories can be rephrased in terms of Feynman diagrams that only contain dressed irreducible 2-, 3-, and 4-point vertices. These irreducible vertices in turn can be solved from equations that also only…
This paper presents divergent contributions of the radiative corrections for a Lorentz-violating extension of the scalar electrodynamics. We initially discuss some features of the model and extract the Feynman rules. Then we compute the…
This lecture provides an introduction to the renormalisation group as applied to scattering of two nonrelativistic particles. As well as forming a framework for constructing effective theories of few-nucleon systems, these ideas also…
The renormalization method is specifically aimed at connecting theories describing physical processes at different length scales and thereby connecting different theories in the physical sciences. The renormalization method used today is…
We present a new method for the decomposition of multi-loop Euclidean Feynman integrals into quasi-finite Feynman integrals. These are defined in shifted dimensions with higher powers of the propagators, make explicit both infrared and…
A new heuristic method for the evaluation of definite integrals is presented. This method of brackets has its origin in methods developed for theevaluation of Feynman diagrams. We describe the operational rules and illustrate the method…
The renormalization group method is a successive integration over the fluctuations which are ordered according to their length scale, a parameter in the external space. A different procedure is described, where the fluctuations are treated…
It may be possible to use operator regularization with Feynman diagrams, which would greatly simplify its use as it has so far been limited to the more complicated Schwinger approach. Operator regularization, unlike $\zeta$-function…
Feynman's path integral is herein generalized to the nonextensive canonical density matrix based on Tsallis entropy. This generalization is done in two ways by using unnormalized and normalized constraints. Firstly, we consider the path…
We investigate the issue of regularization/renormalization in the presence of a nontrivial background in the case of 1+1-(supersymmetric) solitons. In particular we study and compare the commonly employed regularization methods (mode-…
We investigate the analytic structure of functions defined by integrals with integrands singular on a finite union of quadrics. The main motivation comes from Feynman integrals which belong to this class. Using isotopy techniques we derive…
We generalise the classical Transition by Breaking of Analyticity for the class of Frenkel-Kontorova models studied by Aubry and others to non-zero Planck's constant and temperature. This analysis is based on the study of a renormalization…
A new approach to compute Feynman Integrals is presented. It relies on an integral representation of a given Feynman Integral in terms of simpler ones. Using this approach, we present, for the first time, results for a certain family of…
Some form of nonperturbative regularization is necessary if effective field theory treatments of the NN interaction are to yield finite answers. We discuss various regularization schemes used in the literature. Two of these methods involve…
We review our proof that in a scaling limit, the time evolution of a quantum particle in a static random environment leads to a diffusion equation. In particular, we discuss the role of Feynman graph expansions and of renormalization.
