This work presents some results about Wick polynomials of a vector field renormalization in locally covariant algebraic quantum field theory in curved spacetime. General vector fields are pictured as sections of natural vector bundles over…
The application of the background-field method to the electroweak Standard Model and its virtues are reviewed. Special emphasis is directed to the Ward identities that follow from the gauge invariance of the background-field effective…
For finite volume field theories with discrete translational invariance, conserved currents can be additively renormalized by infrared effects. We demonstrate this for pions using chiral perturbation theory coupled to electromagnetism in a…
We discuss from scratch the classical structure of Dirac spinors on an arbitrary globally hyperbolic, Lorentzian spacetime, their formulation as a locally covariant quantum field theory, and the associated notion of a Hadamard state.…
We discuss gauge background independence at the example of the charged Dirac field. We show that a perturbative version of background independence, termed perturbative agreement by Hollands and Wald, can be fulfilled, and discuss some of…
The applicability of the background field method in spontaneously broken gauge theories is examined with new features emphasized. An explicit one loop analysis in the electroweak theory shows that the method can be consistently implemented…
We study the Yukawa model with one scalar and one axial scalar fields, coupled to $N$ copies of Dirac fermions, in curved spacetime background. The theory possesses a reach set of coupling constants, including the scalar terms with odd…
Gauge theories in axial gauges are studied using Exact Renormalisation Group flows. We introduce a background field in the infrared regulator, but not in the gauge fixing, in contrast to the usual background field gauge. It is shown how…
The explicit semiclassical treatment of logarithmic perturbation theory for the bound-state problem within the framework of the Dirac equation is developed. Avoiding disadvantages of the standard approach in the description of exited…
We have addressed the issue of field redefinition in connection with renormalisability. Our study is restricted to theories of interacting scalar fields. We have, in particular, shown that if a theory is renormalisable in the usual…
The scope of constrained differential renormalization is to provide renormalized expressions for Feynman graphs, preserving at the same time the Ward identities of the theory. It has been shown recently that this can be done consistently at…
We study, through zeta-function techniques, the vacuum energies for Dirac fields in a constant magnetic background. We consider the combined effect of the background and twisted boundary conditions. The required charge renormalization is…
The one-loop effective action for the scalar field part of a non-Abelian gauge theory based on a general gauge group of the form $G\times U(1)$, where the gauge group $G$ is arbitrary, is calculated. A complex scalar field, both Abelian and…
The Yukawa model in curved spacetime is considered. We consider a complex scalar field coupled to a $U(1)$ gauge field and also interacting with Dirac fields with a general Yukawa coupling. The local momentum space method is used to obtain…
In this paper we generalize the construction of generally covariant quantum theories given in the work of Brunetti, Fredenhagen and Verch to encompass the conformal covariant case. After introducing the abstract framework, we discuss the…
Using the higher covariant derivatives regularization of gauge theories in the framework of the background field method, supplemented with one-loop Pauli-Villars regulator fields, we obtain a version of the renormalization group equation…
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…
Grassmann-valued Dirac fields together with the electromagnetic field (the pseudoclassical basis of QED) are reformulated on spacelike hypersurfaces in Minkowski spacetime and then restricted to Wigner hyperplanes to get their description…
It was suggested by dimensional analysis that there exists a limit called the Planck energy scale coming close to which the gravitational effects of physical processes would inflate and struggle for equal rights so as to spoil the validity…
As a sequel to our previous work\cite{Feng2020}, we propose in this paper a quantization scheme for Dirac field in de Sitter spacetime. Our scheme is covariant under both general transformations and Lorentz transformations. We first present…
