We introduce a theory of probabilistic renormalization for series, the renormalized values being encoded in the expectation of a certain random variable on the set of natural numbers. We identify a large class of weakly renormalizable…
We review the concept of infinity as applied to regularization procedures in Quantum Electrodynamics. A clear distinction that is lacking in current literature is made between the physical contents of renormalization, and the mathematical…
In the framework of dimensional regularization, we propose a generalization of the renormalization group equations in the case of the perturbative quantum gravity that involves renormalization of the metric and of the higher order Riemann…
Emil Artin defined a zeta function for algebraic curves over finite fields and made a conjecture about them analogous to the famous Riemann hypothesis. This and other conjectures about these zeta functions would come to be called the Weil…
The field theoretic renormalization study of reduced quantum electrodynamics (QED) is performed up to two loops. In the condensed matter context, reduced QED constitutes a very natural effective relativistic field theory describing (planar)…
The renormalization of softly broken SQED is related to the one of supersymmetric QED by using the construction with a local gauge supercoupling and by taking into account softly broken anomalous axial U(1) symmetry. From this extended…
A regularization renormalization method ($RRM$) in quantum field theory ($QFT$) is discussed with simple rules: Once a divergent integral $I$ is encountered, we first take its derivative with respect to some mass parameter enough times,…
It is shown that the renormalization group (RG) equation in QED can only describe the finite size effects of the system. The RG equation is originated from the response of the renormalized coupling constant for the change of the system size…
The Riemann hypothesis states that all nontrivial zeros of the zeta function lie in the critical line $\Re(s)=1/2$. Hilbert and P\'olya suggested that one possible way to prove the Riemann hypothesis is to interpret the nontrivial zeros in…
We present some novelties on the Riemann zeta function. Using an extended formula created for the polylogarithm in a previous paper, $\mathrm{Li}_{k}(e^{z})$, the zeta function's Dirichlet series is analytically continued from $\Re(k)>1$ to…
We introduce a one-parameter family of series associated to the Riemann $\zeta$-function and prove that the values of the elements of this family at integers are linearly independent over the rationals for almost all values of the…
We demonstrate our simple strategy for renormalization with QED at one-loop level, basing on an elaboration of the effective field theory philosophy. No artificial regularization or deformation of the original theory is introduced here and…
We point out that, contrary to what is believed to hold for QCD, renormalons are genuine in QED; i.e. the ambiguities which come with them do not require cancellation by hypothetical non-perturbative contributions. They are just the…
Quantum electrodynamics (QED) is studied in the framework of the exact (functional) renormalization group (ERG). This is done using an approach to these equations which employs dimensional regularization. Simultaneous solutions of the ERG…
In this paper, we introduce a class of Dirichlet series defined in terms of the Riemann zeta-function, motivated by the study of their special values, and establish integral representations for these series. We also define an extension of…
In general, quantum field theories (QFT) require regularizations and infinite renormalizations due to ultraviolet divergences in their loop calculations. Furthermore, perturbation series in theories like QED are not convergent series, but…
Using Cauchy's Integral Theorem as a basis, what may be a new series representation for Dirichlet's function $\eta(s)$, and hence Riemann's function $\zeta(s)$, is obtained in terms of the Exponential Integral function $E_{s}(i\kappa)$ of…
There exists an infinite series of ratios by which one can derive the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ from Catalan numbers and central binomial coefficients which appear in the terms of the series. While admittedly the derivation is not…
We formulate a parametrized uniformly absolutely globally convergent series of $\zeta$(s) denoted by Z(s, x). When expressed in closed form, it is given by Z(s, x) = (s -- 1)$\zeta$(s) + 1 x Li s z z -- 1 dz, where Li s (x) is the…
In this work, we employ algebraic renormalization technique to show the renormalizability to all orders in perturbation theory of the Lorentz and CPT violating QED. Essentially, we control the breaking terms by using a suitable set of…
