Using the Hopf algebra structure of QFT in calculations
We employ the recently discovered Hopf algebra structure underlying perturbative Quantum Field Theory to derive iterated integral representations for Feynman diagrams. We give two applications: to massless Yukawa theory and quantum electrodynamics in four dimensions. 11.10.Gh, 11.15.Bt Typeset using REVTEX 1
متن کاملHow Useful Can Knot and Number Theory Be for Loop Calculations? *
We summarize recent results connecting multiloop Feynman diagram calculations to different parts of mathematics, with special attention given to the Hopf algebra structure of renormalization. PACS: 11.10Gh, 11.15Bt, 11.10-z, 02.90+p
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 کاملQuantum field theory meets Hopf algebra
This paper provides a primer in quantum field theory (QFT) based on Hopf algebra and describes new Hopf algebraic constructions inspired by QFT concepts. The following QFT concepts are introduced: chronological products, S-matrix, Feynman diagrams, connected diagrams, Green functions, renormalization. The use of Hopf algebra for their definition allows for simple recursive derivations and lead ...
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...
