Perturbative methods of renormalization applied to problems in quantum field theory (81T15) Feynman diagrams (81T18)

Abstract: Dyson-Schwinger equations determine the Green functions $G^r(alpha,L)$ in quantum field theory. Their solutions are triangular series in a coupling constant $alpha$ and an external scale parameter $L$ for a chosen amplitude $r$, with the order in $L$ bounded by the order in the coupling. Perturbation theory calculates the first few orders in $alpha$. On the other hand, Dyson--Schwinger equations determine next-to${}^{mathrmj}$-leading log expansions, $G^r(alpha,L)=1+su{m}_{j=0}^{i}nftysu{m}_{mathcalM}{p}_j^{mathcalM}alph{a}^{j}mathcalM(u)$. $su{m}_{mathcalM}$ sums a finite number of functions $mathcalM$ in $u=alphaL/2$. The leading logs come from the trivial representation $$ at $j=0$ with $$. All non-leading logs are organized by the suppression in powers $alph{a}^j$. We describe an algebraic method to derive all next-to${}^{mathrmj}$-leading log terms from the knowledge of the first $(j+1)$ terms in perturbation theory and their filtrations. This implies the calculation of the functions $mathcalM(u)$ and periods $p_j^{m}athcalM$. In the first part of our paper, we investigate the structure of Dyson-Schwinger equations and develop a method to filter their solutions. Applying renormalized Feynman rules maps each filtered term to a certain power of $alpha$ and $L$ in the log-expansion. Based on this, the second part derives the next-to${}^{mathrmj}$-leading log expansions. Our method is general. Here, we exemplify it using the examples of the propagator in Yukawa theory and the photon self-energy in quantum electrodynamics. The reader may apply our method to any (set of) Dyson-Schwinger equation(s) appearing in renormalizable quantum field theories.
