We consider the elementary radiative-correction terms in loop quantum gravity. These are a two-vertex "elementary bubble" and a five-vertex "ball"; they correspond to the one-loop self-energy and the one-loop vertex correction of ordinary…
In this paper, we explore the perturbative renormalization and study the classical dynamics of the bumblebee model coupled to quadratic gravity, a theoretical setting that allows the violation of Lorentz symmetry. Such a violation arises…
We present the complete set of Feynman rules producing the rational terms of kind R_2 needed to perform any 1-loop calculation in the Electroweak Standard Model. Our results are given both in the 't Hooft-Veltman and in the Four Dimensional…
It is of general agreement that a quantum gravity theory will most probably mean a breakdown of the standard structure of space-time at the Planck scale. This has motivated the study of Planck-scale Lorentz Invariance Violating (LIV)…
Renormalization is a well-known technique to get rid of ultraviolet (UV) singularities. When relying on Dimensional Regularization (DREG), these become manifest as $\epsilon$-poles, allowing to define counter-terms with useful recursive…

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…
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…
The possibility of a small modification of spinor Quantum Electro-Dynamics is reconsidered, in which Lorentz and CPT non-covariant kinetic terms for photons and fermions are present. The corresponding free field theory is carefully…
We derive dynamical, real time radiation reaction effects from lightfront QED. Combining the Hamiltonian formalism with a plane wave background field, the calculation is performed in the Furry picture for which the background is treated…
This work sets out to compute the corrections to the Euler-Heisenberg effective action that arise from spacetime-dependent background anisotropies that violate Lorentz symmetry. To accomplish our task, we evaluate the functional determinant…
Using functional renormalization methods, we study the one-loop renormalization group evolution of theories with four scalars, at second order in the derivative expansion, in which electroweak symmetry is nonlinearly realized. In this…
The main theme of the paper is the detailed discussion of the renormalization of the quantum field theory comprising two interacting scalar fields. The potential of the model is the fourth-order homogeneous polynomial of the fields,…
We consider dynamics of the massive minimally coupled scalar field theory in an expanding Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker universe. We consider the standard toy model of the conformally flat space-time where the conformal factor becomes…
We analyze the perturbative quantization of the spectral action in noncommutative geometry and establish its one-loop renormalizability in a generalized sense, while staying within the spectral framework of noncommutative geometry. Our…
I review various aspects of Feynman integrals, regularization and renormalization. Following Bloch, I focus on a linear algebraic approach to the Feynman rules, and I try to bring together several renormalization methods found in the…
