نویسنده
چکیده
We show how the Hopf algebra structure of renormalization discovered by Kreimer can be found in the Epstein-Glaser framework without using an analogue of the forest formula of Zimmermann.

Hopf Algebras, Renormalization and Noncommutative Geometry
We explore the relation between the Hopf algebra associated to the renormalization of QFT and the Hopf algebra associated to the NCG computations of tranverse index theory for foliations.
متن کاملHopf algebra of ribbon graphs and renormalization
Connes and Kreimer have discovered the Hopf algebra structure behind the renormalization of Feynman integrals. We generalize the Hopf algebra to the case of ribbon graphs, i.e. to the case of theories with matrix fields. The Hopf algebra is naturally defined in terms of surfaces corresponding to ribbon graphs. As an example, we discuss the renormalization of Φ4 theory and the 1/N expansion.
متن کاملNoncommutative renormalization for massless QED
We study the renormalization of massless QED from the point of view of the Hopf algebra discovered by D. Kreimer. For QED, we describe a Hopf algebra of renormalization which is neither commutative nor cocommutative. We obtain explicit renormalization formulas for the electron and photon propagators, for the vacuum polarization and the electron self-energy, which are equivalent to Zimmermann’s ...
متن کاملHopf Algebraic Structures in the Cutting Rules
Since the Connes–Kreimer Hopf algebra was proposed, revisiting present quantum field theory has become meaningful and important from algebraic points. In this paper, the Hopf algebra in the cutting rules is constructed. Its coproduct contains all necessary ingredients for the cutting equation crucial to proving the perturbative unitarity of the S-matrix. Its antipode is compatible with the caus...
متن کاملA Hopf Algebra Deformation Approach to Renormalization
We investigate the relation between Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebra approach to renomalization and deformation quantization. Both approaches rely on factorization, the correspondence being established at the level of Wiener-Hopf algebras, and double Lie algebras/Lie bialgebras, via r-matrices. It is suggested that the QFTs obtained via deformation quantization and renormalization correspond to each...
