A method is presented which allows for the renormalization of the self-potential for a scalar point charge at rest in static curved space-time. The method is suitable for the scalar field with arbitrary mass $m$ and coupling to the scalar…
The singularities of the $\Gamma$ function, a meromorphic function on the complex plane, are known to occur at the nonpositive integers. We show, using Euler and Gauss identities, that for all positive integers $n$ and $k$, $$…
We study four-dimensional gravity theories that are rendered renormalisable by the inclusion of curvature-squared terms to the usual Einstein action with cosmological constant. By choosing the parameters appropriately, the massive scalar…
A general method has been developed to solve the Schr\"odinger equation for an arbitrary derivative of the $\delta$-function potential in 1-d using cutoff regularization. The work treats both the relativistic and nonrelativistic cases. A…
We study the non-perturbative renormalization group flow of f(R)-gravity in three-dimensional Asymptotically Safe Quantum Einstein Gravity. Within the conformally reduced approximation, we derive an exact partial differential equation…
A number of very different approaches to quantum gravity contain a common thread, a hint that spacetime at very short distances becomes effectively two dimensional. I review this evidence, starting with a discussion of the physical meaning…
The renormalisation of NN scattering in theories with zero-range interactions is examined using a cut-off regularisation and taking the cut-off to infinity. Inclusion of contact interactions that depend on energy as well as momentum allows…
The requirement that duality and renormalization group transformations commute as motions in the space of a theory has recently been explored to extract information about the renormalization flows in different statistical and field…
Higher order renormalization in 4D quantum gravity is carried out using dimensional regularization with great care concerning the conformal-mode dependence. In this regularization, resummation can be automatically carried out without making…
Adding terms quadratic in the curvature to the Einstein-Hilbert action renders gravity renormalizable. This property is preserved in the presence of the most general renormalizable couplings with (and of) a generic quantum field theory…
We point out that the duality symmetry of free electromagnetism does not hold in the quantum theory if an arbitrary classical gravitational background is present. The symmetry breaks in the process of renormalization, as also happens with…
We investigate $\beta$-functions of quantum gravity using dimensional regularisation. In contrast to minimal subtraction, a non-minimal renormalisation scheme is employed which is sensitive to power-law divergences from mass terms or…
Let X be a singular affine normal variety with coordinate ring R and assume that there is an R-order admitting a stability structure such that the scheme of relevant semistable representations is smooth, then we construct a partial…
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…
This is a lecture note on the renormalization group theory for field theory models based on the dimensional regularization method. We discuss the renormalization group approach to fundamental field theoretic models in low dimensions. We…
A regularization renormalization method ($RRM$) in quantum field theory ($QFT$) is discussed with simple rules: Once a divergent integral $I$ is encountered, we first take its derivative with respect to some mass parameter enough times,…
We study tree-unitarity and renormalizability in Lifshitz-scaling theory, which is characterized by an anisotropic scaling between the spacial and time directions. Due to the lack of the Lorentz symmetry, the conditions for both unitarity…
We re-examine results of the Liouville theory and provide arguments that a {\it negative} bare cosmological constant is essential to define two-dimensional quantum gravity. From this we are naturally led to a regularization of quantum…
Many physical constants related to quantized gravity, e.g., the Planck length, mass, curvature, stress-energy, etc., are nonanalytic in G at G=0, and thus have expansions in powers of G whose terms are progressively more divergent with…
Einstein Gravity in 2+1 dimensions arises as a consequence of the equations of motion of a gauge model in an external metric. Newton's constant appears as an order parameter of a spontaneously broken discrete symmetry. Matter is coupled in…
