Abstract: We consider a possibility to unify the methods of regularization, such as the renormalization group method, stochastic quantization etc., by the extension of the standard field theory of the square-integrable functions $phi(b)in{L}^2({mathbbR}^d)$ to the theory of functions that depend on coordinate $b$ and resolution $a$. In the simplest case such field theory turns out to be a theory of fields $ph{i}_a(b,cdot)$ defined on the affine group $G:x^{\prime }=ax+b$, $a>0,x,bin{mathbbR}^d$, which consists of dilations and translation of Euclidean space. The fields $ph{i}_a(b,cdot)$ are constructed using the continuous wavelet transform. The parameters of the theory can explicitly depend on the resolution $a$. The proper choice of the scale dependence $g=g(a)$ makes such theory free of divergences by construction.

Review text

This paper studies the possibility to unify some methods of regularization, such as the renormalization group method, stochastic quantization etc., by means of an extension of the standard field theory of the square-integrable functions \(\phi(b) \in L^2(R^d)\) to the theory of functions depending on the coordinate \(b\) and ``resolution parameter \(a\). In the simplest case such field theory turns out to be a theory of fields \(\phi_a(b,\cdot)\) defined on the affine group \(G\) of the maps \(x\mapsto x' = ax+b\), \(a > 0\), \(x, b \in R^d\), which consists of dilations and translation of Euclidean space. The fields \(\phi_a(b,\cdot)\) are obtained making use of the continuous wavelet transform. The parameters of the theory may explicitly depend on the resolution \(a\). A suitable choice of the scale dependence \(g = g(a)\) makes such theory free of divergences by construction.
