We extent the standard approach of dimensional regularization of Feynman diagrams: we replace the transition to lower dimensions by a 'natural' cut-off regulator. Introducing an external regulator of mass Lambda^(2e), we regain in the limit…

Feynman integrals can be expanded asymptotically with respect to some small parameters at the integrand level, a technique known as the expansion by regions. A naive expansion by regions may break down due to divergences not regulated by…

An extension of dimensional regularization to the case of compact dimensions is presented. The procedure preserves the Kaluza-Klein tower structure, but has a regulator specific to the compact dimension. Possible 5 and 4 dimensional…

We examine several zero-range potentials in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The study of such potentials requires regularization and renormalization. We contrast physical results obtained using dimensional regularization and cutoff…
An explicit example is presented (a one-loop triangle graph) where dimensional regularization fails to regulate the infra-red singularities that emerge at intermediate steps of studying large-$Q^2$ Sudakov factorization. The mathematical…
It has been proposed that the noncommutative geometry of the "fuzzy" 2-sphere provides a nonperturbative regularization of scalar field theories. This generalizes to compact Kaehler manifolds where simple field theories are regularized by…

Abandoning dimensional regularization allows important simplifications in loop calculations and gives a handle to interpret non-renormalizable Quantum Field Theories. I review the current status of FDR, a fully four-dimensional approach to…
We state some remarks on `$n$-dimensional Feynman diagrams' ($n\in\N$). There are different features between in the case of $n$-dimensional Feynman diagrams($n\geqq3$) and in the 1-, 2-dimensional case.
It is shown how nucleon-nucleon potentials can be defined in N dimensions, using dimensional regularization to continue amplitudes. This provides an easy way to separate out contact ($\delta$-function) terms arising from renormalization. An…
