Spitzer’s Identity and the Algebraic Birkhoff Decomposition in pQFT

چکیده
In this article we continue to explore the notion of Rota-Baxter algebras in the context of the Hopf algebraic approach to renormalization theory in perturbative quantum field theory. We show in very simple algebraic terms that the solutions of the recursively defined formulae for the Birkhoff factorization of regularized Hopf algebra characters, i.e. Feynman rules, naturally give a non-commutative generalization of the well-known Spitzer’s identity. The underlying abstract algebraic structure is analyzed in terms of complete filtered Rota-Baxter algebras.

Matrix Representation of Renormalization in Perturbative Quantum Field Theory
We formulate the Hopf algebraic approach of Connes and Kreimer to renormalization in perturbative quantum field theory using triangular matrix representation. We give a Rota– Baxter anti-homomorphism from general regularized functionals on the Feynman graph Hopf algebra to triangular matrices with entries in a Rota–Baxter algebra. For characters mapping to the group of unipotent triangular matr...
متن کاملDifferential Algebraic Birkhoff Decomposition and the Renormalization of Multiple Zeta Values
In the Hopf algebra approach of Connes and Kreimer on renormalization of quantum field theory, the renormalization process is viewed as a special case of the Algebraic Birkhoff Decomposition. We give a differential algebra variation of this decomposition and apply this to the study of multiple zeta values.

متن کاملBirkhoff's Theorem from a geometric perspective: A simple example
From Hilbert's theorem of zeroes, and from Noether's ideal theory, Birkhoff derived certain algebraic concepts (as explained by Tholen) that have a dual significance in general toposes, similar to their role in the original examples of algebraic geometry. I will describe a simple example that illustrates some of the aspects of this relationship. The dualization from algebra to geometr...
متن کاملNew Identities in Dendriform Algebras
Dendriform structures arise naturally in algebraic combinatorics (where they allow, for example, the splitting of the shuffle product into two pieces) and through Rota–Baxter algebra structures (the latter appear, among others, in differential systems and in the renormalization process of pQFT). We prove new combinatorial identities in dendriform dialgebras that appear to be strongly related to...
