Perturbative Tamm-Dancoff Renormalization
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new two-step renormalization procedure is proposed. In the first step, the effects of high-energy states are considered in the conventional (Feynman) perturbation theory. In the second step, the coupling to many-body states is eliminated by a similarity transformation. The resultant effective Hamiltonian contains only interactions which do not change particle number. It is subject to numerical diagonalization. We apply the general procedure to a simple example for the purpose of illustration. 11.10.Gh, 11.10.Kk Typeset using REVTEX 1

Wilson renormalization group approach to light-front Tamm-Dancoff scalar field theory.
A program to utilize the Tamm-Dancoff approximation, on the light-front, to solve relativistic quantum field theories, is presented. We present a well defined renormalization program for the Tamm-Dancoff approximation. This renormalization program utilizes a Minkowski space version of Wilson’s renormalization group. We studied light-front φ field theory in 3+1 dimensions, within a two-particle ...
متن کاملRenormalization of Tamm-Dancoff integral equations.
During the last few years, interest has arisen in using light-front Tamm-Dancoff field theory to describe relativistic bound states for theories such as QCD. Unfortunately, difficult renormalization problems stand in the way. We introduce a general, non-perturbative approach to renormalization that is well suited for the ultraviolet and, presumably, the infrared divergences found in these syste...
متن کاملNonperturbative Renormalization in Light - Cone Quantization ∗
Two approaches to nonperturbative renormalization are discussed for theories quantized on the light cone. One is tailored specifically to a calculation of the dressed-electron state in quantum electrodynamics, where an invariantmass cutoff is used as a regulator and a Tamm–Dancoff truncation is made to include no more than two photons. The other approach is based on Pauli– Villars regulators an...
متن کاملNonperturbative Renormalization of Qed in Light-cone Quantization
As a precursor to work on QCD, we study the dressed electron in QED nonperturbatively. The calculational scheme uses an invariant mass cutoff, discretized light-cone quantization, a Tamm–Dancoff truncation of the Fock space, and a small photon mass. Nonperturbative renormalization of the coupling and electron mass is developed. Paper submitted to the 1996 Annual Divisional Meeting (DPF96) of th...
متن کاملSolving Gauge Field Theory by Discretized Light-Cone Quantization
The canonical front form Hamiltonian for non-Abelian SU(N) gauge theory in 3+1 dimensions is mapped on an effective Hamiltonian which acts only in the Fock space of one quark and one antiquark. The approach is non-perturbative and exact. It is based on Discretized Light-Cone Quantization and the Method of Iterated Resolvents. The method resums the diagrams of perturbation theory to all orders i...
