Renormalizability of Semiquantized Fields
نویسنده
چکیده
A definition is given, in the framework of stochastic quantization, for the dynamics of a system composed of classical and quantum degrees of freedom mutually interacting. It is found that the theory breaks reflection positivity, and hence it is unphysical. The Feynman rules for the Euclidean vacuum expectation values are derived and the perturbative renormalizability of the theory is analyzed. Contrary to the naive expectation, the semiquantized theory turns out to be less renormalizable, in general, than the corresponding completely quantized theory.

On the renormalizability and unitarity of the Curci-Ferrari model for massive vector bosons
We prove the renormalizability of the Curci-Ferrari model with and without auxiliary fields using BRST methods. In both cases we find 5 Z factors instead of 3. We verify our results by explicit one loop calculations. We determine a set of generators for the “physical states”, many of which have negative norm. Supersymmetrization is considered. This research was supported in part by NSF grant no...
متن کاملPerturbative analysis of non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm scattering.
We perform a perturbative analysis of the nonabelian Aharonov-Bohm problem to one loop in a field theoretic framework, and show the necessity of contact interactions for renormalizability of perturbation theory. Moreover at critical values of the contact interaction strength the theory is finite and preserves classical conformal invariance.
متن کاملOn renormalizability of the massless Thirring model
We discuss the renormalizability of the massless Thirring model in terms of the causal fermion Green functions and correlation functions of left–right fermion densities. We obtain the most general expressions for the causal two–point Green function and correlation function of left–right fermion densities with dynamical dimensions of fermion fields, parameterised by two parameters. The region of...
متن کاملInteracting Quantum Fields in Curved Space: Renormalizability of Φ
We present a perturbative construction of the ϕ 4 model on a smooth globally hyperbolic curved space-time. Our method relies on an adaptation of the Epstein and Glaser method of renormalization to curved space-times using techniques from microlocal analysis.
متن کاملLorentz symmetry breaking in Abelian vector-field models with Wess-Zumino interaction.
We consider the abelian vector-field models in the presence of the Wess-Zumino interaction with the pseudoscalar matter. The occurence of the dynamic breaking of Lorentz symmetry at classical and one-loop level is described for massless and massive vector fields. This phenomenon appears to be the non-perturbative counterpart of the perturbative renormalizability and/or unitarity breaking in the...
