We relate renormalization in perturbative quantum field theory to the theory of limiting mixed Hodge structures using parametric representations of Feynman graphs.
The procedures to overcome nonrenormalizability of \phi^4_n, n\ge5, quantum field theory models that were presented in a recent paper are extended to address nonrenormalizability of \phi^p_3, p=8,10,12,..., models. The principles involved…
Following previous work by one of the authors [M.V.Altaisky, Unifying renormalization group and the continuous wavelet transform, Phys. Rev. D 93, 105043 (2016).], we develop a new approach to the renormalization group, where the effective…
We review the theory of renormalization, including perturbative renormalization, regularized functional integrals, Renormalization Group and rigorous renormalization.
The renormalization group flow in a general renormalizable gauge theory with a simple gauge group in 3+1 dimensions is analyzed. The flow of the ratios of the Yukawa couplings and the gauge coupling is described in terms of a bounded…
Explicit divergences and counterterms do not appear in the differential renormalization method, but they are concealed in the neglected surface terms in the formal partial integration procedure used. A systematic real space cutoff procedure…
A perturbative quantum theory of the 2-Killing vector reduction of general relativity is constructed. Although non-renormalizable in the standard sense, we show that to all orders of the loop expansion strict cut-off independence can be…
It is well known that Einstein gravity is non-renormalizable; however a generalized approach is proposed that leads to Einstein gravity {\it after} renormalization. This them implies that at least one candidate for quantum gravity treats…
The main difficulty of quantum field theory is the problem of divergences and renormalization. However, realistic models of quantum field theory are renormalized within the perturbative framework only. It is important to investigate…
A Lagrange multiplier field restricts the quantum corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action at one-loop order, yielding a model that is renormalizable and unitary while reproducing the Einstein field equations in the classical limit.
In physics we attempt to infer the rules governing a system given only the results of imprecise measurements. This is an ill-posed problem because certain features of the system's state cannot be resolved by the measurements. However, by…
Massless $\phi^{4}$-theory is investigated in zero and four space-time dimensions. Path-integral linearisation of the $\phi ^{4}$-interaction defines an effective theory, which is investigated in a loop-expansion around the mean field. In…
We propose that the broad architecture of the renormalization group flow in quantum field theories is, at least in part, fixed by unitarity. The precise statement is summarized in the Unitarity Flow Conjecture, which states that the…
The flow equations of the renormalization group allow to analyse the perturbative $n$-point functions of renormalizable quantum filed theories. Rigorous bounds implying renormalizability permit to control large momentum behaviour, infrared…
The study of nonlinear phenomena in systems with many degrees of freedom often relies on complex numerical simulations. In trying to model realistic situations, these systems may be coupled to an external environment which drives their…
Functional renormalization group methods formulated in the real-time formalism are applied to the $O(N)$ symmetric quantum anharmonic oscillator, considered as a $0+1$ dimensional quantum field-theoric model, in the next-to-leading order of…
We demonstrate our simple strategy for renormalization with QED at one-loop level, basing on an elaboration of the effective field theory philosophy. No artificial regularization or deformation of the original theory is introduced here and…
The renormalization group is used to improve the effective potential of massive ${\rm O}(N)$ symmetric $\phi^4$ theory. Explicit results are given at the two-loop level.
We present a procedure of differential renormalization at the one loop level which avoids introducing unnecessary renormalization constants and automatically preserves abelian gauge invariance. The amplitudes are expressed in terms of a…
I explain the methods that are used in field theory for problems involving typical momenta on two or more widely disparate scales. The principal topics are: (a) renormalization, which treats the problem of taking an ultra-violet cut-off to…
