Nonperturbative methods of renormalization applied to problems in quantum field theory (81T16)

Abstract: A formula is proposed for continuing physical correlation functions to non-integer numbers of dimensions, expressing them as infinite weighted sums over the same correlation functions in arbitrary integer dimensions. The formula is motivated by studying the strong coupling expansion, but the end result makes no reference to any perturbation theory. It is shown that the formula leads to the correct dimension dependence in weak coupling perturbation theory at one loop.
