We consider the one-loop renormalization of QED in curved space-time with additional Lorentz and/or CPT breaking terms. The renormalization group equations in the vacuum sector are derived. In the special case of Minkowski metric and with…
We reconsider the Adler-Bardeen theorem for the cancellation of gauge anomalies to all orders, when they vanish at one loop. Using the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism and combining the dimensional-regularization technique with the…
The formulation and some experimental implications of a general Lorentz-violating extension of the standard model are reviewed. The theory incorporates both CPT-preserving and CPT-breaking terms. It is otherwise a conventional quantum field…
Electric charge, as defined in the Thomson limit of the electron--photon interaction vertex, is renormalized to all orders both in the Standard Model and in any spontaneously broken gauge theory with gauge group GxU(1) with a group factor…
Computing all divergent one-loop Green's functions of \theta-expanded noncommutative quantum electrodynamics up to first order in \theta, we show that this model is not renormalizable. The reason is a divergence in the electron four-point…
We present in detail a new systematic method which can be used to automatically eliminate the renormalization scheme and scale ambiguities in perturbative QCD predictions at all orders. We show that all of the nonconformal \beta-dependent…
In the context of conventional quantum field theory, we present a general Lorentz-violating extension of the minimal SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) standard model including CPT-even and CPT-odd terms. It can be viewed as the low-energy limit of a…
For scalar QED on a three-dimensional toroidal lattice with a fine lattice spacing we consider the renormalization problem of choosing counter terms depending on the lattice spacing, so that the theory stays finite as the spacing goes to…
The structure of overlapping subdivergences, which appear in the perturbative expansions of quantum field theory, is analyzed using algebraic lattice theory. It is shown that for specific QFTs the sets of subdivergences of Feynman diagrams…
Under certain assumptions and independent of the instantons, we show that the logarithm expansion of dimensional regularization in quantum field theory needs a nonperturbative completion to have a renormalization-group flow valid at all…
The goal of this message is to calculate radiative corrections to the Sommerfeld fine structure constant in the framework of a new QED in which particles are described by bilocal fields. The bare constant is 1/136 where 136 is a dimension…
Some considerations showing that renormalizable theories with consistent perturbative theries can not be nonperturbatively finite (in terms of bare parameters) are provided. Accordingly any fundamental unified theory has to be either non…
We consider the Adler-Bardeen anomaly of the U(1) axial current in abelian and non-abelian gauge theories and present its algebraic characterization as well as an explicit evaluation proving regularization scheme independence of the…
We regularize in a continuous manner the path integral of QED by construction of a non-local version of its action by means of a regularized form of Dirac's $\delta$ functions. Since the action and the measure are both invariant under the…
Some recent all-loop results on the renormalization of supersymmetric theories are summarized and reviewed. In particular, we discuss how it is possible to construct expressions which do not receive quantum corrections in all orders for…
In supersymmetric quantum electrodynamics there is the exact relation between the expressed through the unrenormalized coupling gauge beta-function and the anomalous dimension of matter superfields. In the present report we describe the…
The long standing problem of non perturbative renormalization of a gauge field theoretical Hamiltonian is addressed and explicitly carried out within an (effective) light-cone Hamiltonian approach to QCD. The procedure is in line with the…
The renormalized photon and electron propagators are expanded over planar binary trees. Explicit recurrence solutions are given for the terms of these expansions. In the case of massless Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), the relation between…
In this work we consider the KAM renormalizability problem for small pseudodifferential perturbations of the semiclassical isochronous transport operator with Diophantine frequencies on the torus. Assuming that the symbol of the…
Arguments are provided which show that extension of renormalizability in quantum field theory is possible. A dressed scheme for the perturbation expansion is proposed. It is proven that in this scheme a nonrenormalizable interaction becomes…
