We explain the relation between the dimensional regularization and its BPHZ-renormalization in quantum field theory, and the Riemann-Hilbert problem. The exposition is based on works by Connes, Kreimer, Marcolli, and others.
We explain the mathematical conceptual discovery of the meaning of the dimensional regularization in quantum field theory, made by Connes and Kreimer (2000, 2001). The exposition is based primarily on the book (Connes 2007). We omit the mathematical proofs.

As an extension of our earlier one-loop renormalization studies at the regularized Schwinger-Dyson level, we report here on equivalent renormalization programs for regularized Langevin systems. Proper structure is discussed, and proper one-loop renormalizations of the Green functions of ~b~ and QCD4 are given. An optional apparent h-renormalization is discussed as a technical simplification for gauge theories with Zwanziger's gauge-fixing.

The problem of renormalization in perturbative quantum field theory (pQFT) can be described in a rigorous way through the theory of extension of distributions. In the framework of pQFT a certain type of distribution appears, given by products of Green functions which act by integration with a test function. They present ultraviolet divergences, whenever any pair of arguments coincide on one point of spacetime, and therefore, they are not defined everywhere. In this work we have studied the necessary and sufficient conditions for the extension (or regularization) of this type of distribution. Moreover, we have constructed such extensions explicitly, satisfying a series of physically relevant axioms, such as the axiom of causality.

The causal approach to perturbative quantum field theory is presented in detail, which goes back to a seminal work by Henri Epstein and Vladimir Jurko Glaser in 1973. Causal perturbation theory is a mathematically rigorous approach to renormalization theory, which makes it possible to put the theoretical setup of perturbative quantum field theory on a sound mathematical basis. Epstein and Glaser solved this problem for a special class of distributions, the time-ordered products, that fulfill a causality condition, which itself is a basic requirement in axiomatic quantum field theory. In their original work, Epstein and Glaser studied only theories involving scalar particles. In this review, the extension of the method to theories with higher spin, including gravity, is presented. Furthermore, specific examples are presented in order to highlight the technical differences between the causal method and other regularization methods, like, e.g. dimensional regularization.

The exact renormalization group(ERG) is formulated implementing the decimation of degrees of freedom by means of a particular momentum integration measure. The definition of this measure involves a distribution that links this decimation process with the dimensional regularization technique employed in field theory calculations. Taking the dimension d = 4 − , the one loop solutions to the ERG equations for the scalar field theory in this scheme are shown to coincide with the dimensionally regularized perturbative field theory calculation in the limit µ → 0, if a particular relation between the scale parameter µ and is employed. In general, it is shown that in this scheme the solutions to the ERG equations for the proper functions coincide when µ → 0 with the complete diagrammatic contributions appearing in field theory for these functions and this theory, provided that exact relations between µ and hold. In addition a non-perturbative approximation is considered. This approximation consists in a truncation of the ERG equations, which by means of a low momentum expansion leads to reasonable results.

It is proposed that field theories quantized in a curved space-time manifold can be conveniently regularized and renormalized with the aid of Pauli-Villars regulator fields. The method avoids the conceptual difficulties of covariant point-separation approaches, by always starting from a manifestly generally covariant action, and the technical limitations of the dimensional regularization approach, which requires solution of the theory in arbitrary dimension in order to go beyond a weak-field expansion. An action is constructed which renormalizes the weak-field perturbation theory of a massive scalar field in two space-time dimensions, it is shown that the trace anomaly previously found in dimensional regularization and some point-separation calculations also arises in perturbation theory when the theory is Pauli-Villars regulated. We then study a specific solvable two-dimensional model of a massive scalar field in a Robertson-Walker asymptotically flat universe. It is shown that the action previously considered leads, in this model, to a well-defined finite expectation value for the stress-energy tensor. The particle production (<0 in / @(x, t)l 0 in) for t-+ co) is computed explicitly. Finally, the validity of weak-field perturbation theory (in the appropriate range of parameters) is checked directly in the solvable model, and the trace anomaIy computed in the asymptotic regions t + i a independently of any weakfield approximation. The extension of our model to higher dimensions and the renormalization of interacting (scalar) field theories are briefly discussed.

Recently [1, 2], denominator regularisation (Den. Reg.) scheme has been proposed to handle divergences in quantum field theory. It is shown to yield results as simple as in dimensional regularisation scheme and also shown to be compatible with minimal subtraction scheme by taking several examples in field theory. In this article, we point out some interesting features of this regularisation scheme which appear as a consequence of the requirement of gauge invariance by revisiting QED vacuum polarisation and H → γγ decay in this regularisation scheme.

As applied to quantum theories, the program of renormalization is successful for ‘renormalizable models’ but fails for ‘nonrenormalizable models’. After some conceptual discussion and analysis, an enhanced program of renormalization is proposed that is designed to bring the ‘nonrenormalizable models’ under control as well. The new principles are developed by studying several, carefully chosen, soluble examples, and include a recognition of a ‘hard-core’ behavior of the interaction and, in special cases, an extremely elementary procedure to remove the source of all divergences. Our discussion provides the background for a recent proposal for a nontrivial quantization of nonrenormalizable scalar quantum field models, which is briefly summarized as well. Dedication: It is a pleasure to dedicate this article to the memory of Prof. Alladi Ramakrishnan who, besides his own important contributions to science, played a crucial role in the development of modern scientific research and educat...

Motivated by recent work of Connes and Marcolli, based on the Connes-Kreimer approach to renormalization, we augment the latter by a combinatorial, Lie algebraic point of view. Our results rely both on the properties of the Dynkin idempotent, one of the fundamental Lie idempotents in the theory of free Lie algebras, and on properties of Hopf algebras encapsulated in the notion of associated descent algebras. Besides leading very directly to proofs of the main combinatorial aspects of the renormalization procedures, the new techniques give rise to an algebraic approach to the Galois theory of renormalization. In particular, they do not depend on the geometry underlying the case of dimensional regularization and the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence. This is illustrated with a discussion of the BPHZ renormalization scheme.
