Two-loop renormalization group equations in the standard model are re-calculated. A new coefficient is found in the beta-function of the quartic coupling and a class of gauge invariants are found to be absent in the beta-functions of…

Using the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, we study the Ward identities and the equations of gauge dependence in potentially anomalous general gauge theories, renormalizable or not. A crucial new term, absent in manifestly nonanomalous…
I consider the fulfillment of conservation laws and Ward identities in the one- and two-loop functional renormalization group approach. It is shown that in a one-particle irreducible scheme of this approach Ward identities are fulfilled…
We compute the QED beta function using a new method of functional integration. It turns out that in this procedure the beta function contains only the first two orders coefficients and thus corresponds to a new renormalization scheme, long…
In the framework of perturbative quantum field theory (QFT) we propose a new, universal (re)normalization condition (called 'master Ward identity') which expresses the symmetries of the underlying classical theory. It implies for example…
We formulate the renormalization procedure using the domain wall regularization that is based on the heat-kernel method. The quantum effects of both fermions and bosons (gauge fields) are taken into account. The background field method is…
