We study the noncommutative $\phi^4$ theory with spontaneously broken global O(2) symmetry in 4 dimensions. We demonstrate the renormalizability at one loop. This does not require any choice of ordering of the fields in the interaction…
A perturbative description of Large Scale Structure is a cornerstone of our understanding of the observed distribution of matter in the universe. Renormalization is an essential and defining step to make this description physical and…
We present a scheme for the analytic computation of renormalization functions on the lattice, using a symbolic manipulation computer language. Our first nontrivial application is a new three-loop result for the topological susceptibility.
Two-loop $\beta$-function and anomalous dimension are calculated for N=1 supersymmetric quantum electrodynamics, regularized by higher derivatives in the minimal subtraction scheme. The result for two-loop contribution to the…
A compact expression for the DeWitt-Schwinger renormalization terms suitable for use in even-dimensional space-times is derived. This formula should be useful for calculations of $<\phi^2(x)>$ and $<T_{\mu\nu}(x)>$ in even dimensions.
As a first application of our renormalisation group approach to non-local matrix models [hep-th/0305066], we prove (super-)renormalisability of Euclidean two-dimensional noncommutative \phi^4-theory. It is widely believed that this model is…
The role of cut-off and dimensional regularizations is discussed in the context of obtaining a renormalized nucleon-nucleon potential from the chiral Lagrangian formulation of the effective field theory due to Weinberg. Both types of…
In the calculation of quantum-mechanical singular-potential scattering, one encounters divergence. We suggest three renormalization schemes, dimensional renormalization, analytic continuation approach, and minimal-subtraction scheme to…
A technique of large-charge expansion provides a novel opportunity for calculation of critical dimensions of operators $\phi^Q$ with fixed charge $Q$. In the small-coupling regime the polynomial structure of the anomalous dimensions can be…
Renormalizability of the (minimal) single-fermion QED extension is investigated at all orders of perturbation theory in the framework of algebraic renormalization, a regularization-independent method. Relative to the standard QED, new…
We discuss conceptual aspects of renormalization in the context of effective field theories for the two-nucleon system. It is shown that, contrary to widespread belief, renormalization scheme dependence of the scattering amplitude can only…
We give an introduction to renormalisation, focusing first on a pedagogical description of fundamental concepts of the procedure and its features, then we introduce the renormalisation group and its equations. We discuss then the case of…
We define a finite size renormalization scheme for $\phi^4$ theory which in the thermodynamic limit reduces to the standard scheme used in the broken phase. We use it to re-investigate the question of triviality for the four dimensional…
We compute the renormalized trajectory of $\phi^4_4$-theory by perturbation theory in a running coupling. We introduce an iterative scheme without reference to a bare action. The expansion is proved to be finite to every order of…
Working with scalar field theories, we discuss choices of regulator that, inserted in the functional renormalization group equation, reproduce the results of dimensional regularization at one and two loops. The resulting flow equations can…
The most general version of a renormalizable $d=4$ theory corresponding to a dimensionless higher-derivative scalar field model in curved spacetime is explored. The classical action of the theory contains $12$ independent functions, which…
We study the regularization and renormalization of a finite range inverse cube potential in the two- and three-body sectors. Specifically, we compare and contrast three different regulation schemes frequently used to study few-body systems…
It has been previously shown that calculation of renormalization group (RG) functions of the scalar \phi^4 theory reduces to the analysis of thermodynamic properties of the Ising model. Using high-temperature expansions for the latter, RG…
Scattering amplitudes at loop level can be expressed in terms of Feynman integrals. The latter satisfy partial differential equations in the kinematical variables. We argue that a good choice of basis for (multi-)loop integrals can lead to…
We investigate regularization of scalar one-loop integrals in the Pauli- Villars subtraction scheme. The results depend on the number of sub- tractions, in particular the finite terms that survive after the diver- gences have been absorbed…
