In a previous work, we established perturbative renormalizability to all orders of the massive $\phi^4_4$-theory on a half-space also called the semi-infinite massive $\phi^4_4$-theory. Five counter-terms which are functions depending on…
We set up a bootstrap problem for renormalization. Working in the massless four-dimensional O$(N)$ model and the $\lambda \phi^4$ theory, we prove that unitarity leads to all-loop recursion relations between coefficients of scattering…
In the recent years, field theory on non-commutative (NC) spaces has attracted a lot of attention. Most literature on this subject deals with perturbation theory, although the latter runs into grave problems beyond one loop. Here we present…
