Higher covariant derivative regulators and non-multiplicative renormalization
نویسنده
چکیده
The renormalization algorithm based on regularization methods with two regulators is analyzed by means of explicit computations. We show in particular that regularization by higher covariant derivative terms can be complemented with dimensional regularization to obtain a consistent renormalized 4-dimensional Yang-Mills theory at the one-loop level. This shows that hybrid regularization methods can be applied not only to finite theories, like e.g. Chern-Simons, but also to divergent theories.

Consistency of the Hybrid Regularization with Higher Covariant Derivative and Infinitely Many Pauli-Villars
We study the regularization and renormalization of the Yang-Mills theory in the framework of the manifestly invariant formalism, which consists of a higher covariant derivative with an infinitely many PauliVillars fields. Unphysical logarithmic divergence, which is the problematic point on the Slavnov’s method, does not appear in our scheme, and the well-known vale of the renormalization group ...
متن کاملHigher Covariant Derivative Pauli - Villars Regularization for Gauge
The combined method of Higher Covariant Derivatives and Pauli-Villars regularization to regularize pure Yang-Mills theories is formulated in the framework of Batalin and Vilkovisky. However, BRS invariance is broken by this method and suitable counterterms should be added to restore it. The 1-loop counterterm is presented. Contrary to the scheme of Slavnov, this method is regularizing and leads...
متن کاملRenormalization Group and Decoupling in Curved Space
It is well known that the renormalization group equations depend on the scale where they are applied. This phenomenon is especially relevant for the massive fields in curved space, because the decoupling effects may be responsible for important cosmological applications like the graceful exit from the inflation and low-energy quantum dynamics of the cosmological constant. We investigate, using ...
متن کاملRenormalization of Critical Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos and KPZ Relation
Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos is a way to produce a measure on Rd (or subdomain of Rd) of the form eγX(x)dx, where X is a log-correlated Gaussian field and γ ∈ [0, √ 2d) is a fixed constant. A renormalization procedure is needed to make this precise, since X oscillates between −∞ and ∞ and is not a function in the usual sense. This procedure yields the zero measure when γ = √ 2d. Two methods ha...
متن کاملOne-loop renormalization of higher-derivative 2D dilaton gravity
A theory of higher-derivative 2D dilaton gravity which has its roots in the massive higherspin mode dynamics of string theory is suggested. The divergences of the effective action to one-loop are calculated, both in the covariant and in the conformal gauge. Some technical problems which appear in the calculations are discussed. An interpretation of the theory as a particular D=2 higher-derivati...
