I present a novel Four-Dimensional Regularization/Renormalization approach (FDR) to ultraviolet divergences in field theories which can be interpreted as a natural separation between physical and non physical degrees of freedom. Based on…
We consider the problem of removing the divergences in an arbitrary gauge-field theory (possibly nonrenormalizable). We show that this can be achieved by performing, order by order in the loop expansion, a redefinition of some parameters…
I review the current status of FDR, the recently introduced Four-Dimensional Regularization/Renormalization approach to ultraviolet divergences in Quantum Field Theory. FDR also regulates infrared and collinear infinities in the…
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…
Unrenormalizable theories contain infinitely many free parameters. Considering these theories in terms of the Wilsonian renormalization group (RG), we suggest a method for removing this large ambiguity. Our basic assumption is the existence…
Abandoning dimensional regularization allows important simplifications in loop calculations and gives a handle to interpret non-renormalizable Quantum Field Theories. I review the current status of FDR, a fully four-dimensional approach to…
This work introduces topological regularization as a framework for handling ultraviolet divergences in quantum field theory, reinterpreting infinities as topological obstructions at spacetime boundaries. Through geometric compactification…
Using an infinitesimal approach, this work addresses the renormalization problem to deal with the ultraviolet divergences arising in quantum field theory. Under the assumption that the action has already been renormalized to yield an…
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…
I comment and summarize the principles underlying the Four Dimensional Regularization/Renormalization (FDR) approach to the UV and IR infinities. A few recent results are also reviewed.
We derive several results concerning non-perturbative renormalization in the spherical field formalism. Using a small set of local counterterms, we are able to remove all ultraviolet divergences in a manner such that the renormalized theory…
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…
We review the techniques used to renormalize quantum field theories at several loop orders. This includes the techniques to systematically extract the infinities in a Feynman integral and the implementation of the algorithm within computer…
If the metric is chosen to depend exponentially on the conformal factor, and if one works in a gauge where the conformal factor has the wrong sign propagator, perturbative quantum gravity corrections can be partially resummed into a series…
Perturbative renormalization provides the bedrock of understanding quantum field theories. In this work, I point out an alternative way of renormalizing quantum field theories, which is naturally encountered and well known for the case of…
A perturbative approach for non renormalizable theories is developed. It is shown that the introduction of an extra expansion parameter allows one to get rid of divergences and express physical quantities as series with finite coefficients.…

The problem of renormalization in perturbative quantum field theory (pQFT) can be described in a rigorous way through the theory of extension of distributions. In the framework of pQFT a certain type of distribution appears, given by…
