On the Renormalization of the Complex Scalar Free Field Theory 1
نویسنده
چکیده
Polar coordinates are used for the complex scalar free field in D = 4 dimensions. The resulting non renormalizable theory is healed by using a recently proposed symmetric subtraction procedure. The existence of the coordinates transformation is proved by construction.

Effective Scalar Field Theory and Reduction of Couplings
A general discussion of the renormalization of the quantum theory of a scalar field as an effective field theory is presented. The renormalization group equations in a mass independent renormalization scheme allow to identify the possibility to go beyond the renormalizable φ4 theory without losing its predictive power. It is shown that there is a minimal extension with just one additional free ...

متن کاملEffective Average Action in Statistical Physics and Quantum Field Theory
An exact renormalization group equation describes the dependence of the free energy on an infrared cutoff for the quantum or thermal fluctuations. It interpolates between the microphysical laws and the complex macroscopic phenomena. We present a simple unified description of critical phenomena for O(N)-symmetric scalar models in two, three or four dimensions, including essential scaling for the...
متن کاملRenormalization of the energy-momentum tensor in noncommutative complex scalar field theory
We study the renormalization of dimension four composite operators and the energy-momentum tensor in noncommutative complex scalar field theory. The proper operator basis is defined and it is proved that the bare composite operators are expressed via renormalized ones with the help of an appropriate mixing matrix which is calculated in the one-loop approximation. The number and form of the oper...
متن کاملRenormalization group for nonrenormalizable theories: Einstein gravity with a scalar field.
We develop a renormalization-group formalism for non-renormalizable theories and apply it to Einstein gravity theory coupled to a scalar field with the Lagrangian L = √ g [RU(φ) − 1 2 G(φ) gμν ∂μφ∂νφ − V (φ)], where U(φ), G(φ) and V (φ) are arbitrary functions of the scalar field. We calculate the one-loop counterterms of this theory and obtain a system of renormalization-group equations in par...
