Yang-Mills and other gauge theories in quantum field theory (81T13) Perturbative methods of renormalization applied to problems in quantum field theory (81T15)

Abstract: We show that the BRST identities can be used to control the renormalization of the background gauge in QCD, in spite of the fact that one-particle reducible graphs have to be omitted. We obtain the all orders renormalized affective action for the background field theory.
