Renormalization and quantum field theory
The aim of this paper is to describe how to use regularization and renormalization to construct a perturbative quantum field theory from a Lagrangian. We first define renormalizations and Feynman measures, and show that although there need not exist a canonical Feynman measure, there is a canonical orbit of Feynman measures under renormalization. We then construct a perturbative quantum field t...
متن کاملRenormalization and dressing in quantum field theory
We illustrate the mass and charge renormalization procedures in quantum field theory using, as an example, a simple model of interacting electrons and photons. It is shown how addition of infinite renormalization counterterms to the Hamiltonian helps to obtain finite and accurate results for the S-matrix. In order to remove the ultraviolet divergences from the Hamiltonian, we apply the Greenber...
متن کاملField Theory and Renormalization Group for the Magnetocaloric Effect Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces (MSc)
In this thesis, we will first review the physics of the magnetocaloric effect (MCE), and the giant magnetocaloric effect (GMCE), with a brief review of the statistical mechanics techniques we will need throughout. Then we will review the state of our understanding of the GMCE through the use of compressible Ising models, examining the central theoretical models (Domb [1], Bean-Rodbell [2], Bake...
متن کاملRegularized Quantum Master Equation in the Wilsonian Renormalization Group
Using the Pauli-Villars regularization, we make a perturbative analysis of the quantum master equation (QME), Σ = 0, for the Wilsonian effective action. It is found that the QME for the UV action determines whether exact gauge symmetry is realized along the renormalization group (RG) flow. The basic task of solving the QME can be reduced to compute the Troost-van Niuwenhuizen-Van Proyen jacobia...
متن کاملGravitational renormalization of quantum field theory
We propose to include gravity in quantum field theory non-perturbatively by modifying the propagators so that each virtual particle in a Feynman graph move in the space-time determined by the momenta of the other particles in the same graph. We then obtain a modified Feynman propagator for the massless neutral scalar field which shows a suppression at high momentum strong enough to entail finit...
