In usual dimensional counting, momentum has dimension one. But a function f(x), when differentiated n times, does not always behave like one with its power smaller by n. This inevitable uncertainty may be essential in general theory of…
A statistical ensemble of neural networks can be described in terms of a quantum field theory (NN-QFT correspondence). The infinite-width limit is mapped to a free field theory, while finite N corrections are mapped to interactions. After…

In quantum field theory there is now a well developed technique, effective field theory, which allows one to obtain low energy quantum predictions in ``non-renormalizable'' theories, using only the degrees of freedom and interactions…

We investigate to what extent renormalization can be understood as an algebraic manipulation on concatenated one-loop integrals. We find that the resulting algebra indicates a useful connection to knot theory as well as number theory and…
The "Krein" regularization method of quantum field theory is studied, inspired by the Krein space quantization and quantum metric fluctuations. It was previously considered in the one-loop approximation, and this paper is generalized to all…
We show that even $\zeta$-functions may be removed from the $\beta$-functions of general multi-coupling theories up to high loop order by means of coupling redefinitions. For theories whose $\beta$-function is determined by the anomalous…

We propose a new method to quantize gauge theories formulated on a canonical noncommutative spacetime with fields and gauge transformations taken in the enveloping algebra. We show that the theory is renormalizable at one loop and compute…
