Explicit divergences and counterterms do not appear in the differential renormalization method, but they are concealed in the neglected surface terms in the formal partial integration procedure used. A systematic real space cutoff procedure…

The purpose of this work is to rewrite the generating functional of phi^4 theory for the n = 0 and n = 4 correlation functions as the inner product of a state with an observable, as we did in [J. S. Ardenghi, M. Castagnino, Phys. Rev. D,…

In this work we evaluate the $\gamma_{m}$ function corresponding to mass renormalization for O($N$) scalar field theory with Lorentz violation. We calculate this function up to two-loop order for a theory renormalized utilizing the…
We compute the three-loop beta functions of long-range multi-scalar models with general quartic interactions. The long-range nature of the models is encoded in a kinetic term with a Laplacian to the power $0<\zeta<1$, rendering the…
