We present a method to perform renormalized perturbation calculation in gauge theories with chiral fermions. We find it proper to focus directly on the Ward-Takahashi identities, relegating dimensional regularization into a supplementary…
The treatment of $\gamma_{5}$ in Dimensional Regularization leads to ambiguities in field-theoretic calculations, of which one example is the coefficient of a particular term in the four-loop gauge $\beta$-functions of the Standard Model.…
We explore the relation between two distinct prescriptions for $\gamma_5$ in dimensional regularization -- the Breitenlohner Maison t'Hooft Veltman (BMHV) scheme and Naive Dimensional Regularisation (NDR). The BMHV scheme is the only…
The calculation of loop amplitudes with parity violation or spin effects within dimensional regularization needs a consistent definition of gamma5. Also loop calculations in supersymmetric theories need a consistent definition of gamma5. In…
We study the Lorentz and Dirac algebra, including antisymmetric $\epsilon$ tensors and the $\gamma_5$ matrix, in implicit gauge-invariant regularization/renormalization methods defined in fixed integer dimensions. They include constrained…
We address the subject of chiral anomalies in two and four dimensional theories. Ambiguities associated with the $\gamma_5$ algebra within divergent integrals are identified, even though the physical dimension is not altered in the process…
The Standard Model calculation of $H\rightarrow\gamma\gamma$ has the curious feature of being finite but regulator-dependent. While dimensional regularization yields a result which respects the electromagnetic Ward identities, additional…
We examine the subtleties of regularization schemes in four-dimensional space ($4S$), related in particular to the introduction of the $\gamma_5$ matrix. To illustrate we use a "Bumblebee" model featuring dynamically induced Lorentz…
The prescription for the $\gamma_5$-matrix within dimensional regularization in multiloop calculations is elaborated. The three-loop anomalous dimension of the singlet axial current is calculated.
The increasing precision of many experiments in elementary particle physics leads to continuing interest in perturbative higher order calculations in the electroweak Standard Model or extensions of it. Such calculations are of increasing…
For supersymmetric gauge theories a consistent regularization scheme that preserves supersymmetry and gauge invariance is not known. In this article we tackle this problem for supersymmetric QED within the framework of algebraic…
In computing the two-loop QCD corrections to a class of Feynman diagrams for the process $q\overline{q} \rightarrow ZH$ in Higgs effective field theory, we discover a striking phenomenon. We find the need for an additional local composite…
We discuss how renormalisation group equations can be consistently formulated using the algebraic renormalisation framework, in the context of a dimensionally-renormalised chiral field theory in the BMHV scheme, where the BRST symmetry,…
We compute the next to leading QCD corrections to weak four fermion interactions introducing a scheme that does not require an explicit definition of $\gamma_5$ in $d$ dimensions. This scheme reduces greatly the difficulties in calculating…
A new version of differential renormalization is presented. It is based on pulling out certain differential operators and introducing a logarithmic dependence into diagrams. It can be defined either in coordinate or momentum space, the…
In this work we compute the leading logarithmic corrections to the b -> s gamma decay in a dimensional scheme which does not require any definition of the gamma5 matrix. The scheme does not exhibit unconsistencies and it is therefore a…
A set of procedures is given for avoiding the spurious anomalies that are generated when the 't Hooft - Veltman definition of gamma5 is used in conjunction with renormalization by minimal subtraction. These procedures are derived from the…
We propose moving all the $\gamma_{5}$ matrices to the rightmost position before continuing the dimension, and show that this simple prescription will enable the dimension regularization scheme proposed by 't Hooft and Veltman to be…
Three-loop counterterms for the Standard Model (SM) revealed that the matrix of anomalous dimensions ($\gamma$) of quarks is divergent in the $d \to 4$ limit unless a carefully chosen non-Hermitian square-root of $Z$ matrix is used in the…
We resume a long-standing, yet not forgotten, debate on whether a Chern-Simons birefringence can be generated by a local term $b_\mu\bar\psi\gamma^\mu \gamma_5\psi$ in the Lagrangian (where $b_\mu$ are constants). In the present paper we…
