Hopf algebra of ribbon graphs and renormalization
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Bialgebra of specified graphs and external structures
We construct a Hopf algebra structure on the space of specified Feynman graphs of a quantum field theory. We introduce a convolution product and a semigroup of characters of this Hopf algebra with values in some suitable commutative algebra taking momenta into account. We then implement the renormalization described by A. Connes and D. Kreimer in [2] and the Birkhoff decomposition for two renor...
متن کاملIntegrable Renormalization II: the general case
We extend the results we obtained in an earlier work [1]. The cocommutative case of ladders is generalized to a full Hopf algebra of (decorated) rooted trees. For Hopf algebra characters with target space of Rota-Baxter type, the Birkhoff decomposition of renormalization theory is derived by using the RotaBaxter double construction, respectively Atkinson’s theorem. We also outline the extension...

We introduce the notion of a half-ribbon Hopf algebra, which is a Hopf algebra H along with a distinguished element t ∈ H such that (H, R,C) is a ribbon Hopf algebra, where R = (t ⊗ t)∆(t) and C = t. The element t is closely related to the topological ‘half-twist’, which twists a ribbon by 180 degrees. We construct a functor from a topological category of ribbons with half-twists to the categor...
متن کاملRenormalization of Gauge Theories and the Hopf Algebra of Diagrams
In 1999 A. Connes and D. Kreimer have discovered a Hopf algebra structure on the Feynman graphs of scalar field theory. They have found that the renormalization can be interpreted as a solving of some Riemann — Hilbert problem. In this work the generalization of their scheme to the case of nonabelian gauge theories is proposed. The action of the gauge group on the Hopf algebra of diagrams is de...
متن کاملA Class of Quantum Doubles Which Are Ribbon Algebras
Andruskiewitsch and Schneider classify a large class of pointed Hopf algebras with abelian coradical. The quantum double of each such Hopf algebra is investigated. The quantum doubles of a family of Hopf algebras from the above classification are ribbon Hopf algebras. Introduction Quasitriangular Hopf algebras have an universal R-matrix which is a solution of the Yang-Baxter equation and their ...
