Abstract

The functional approach to pQFT together with the BV framework introduced in Chap. 7 has been successfully applied to gauge theories [FR12b, FR12a] and can also be used in quantization of theories where the local symmetries involve transformation of spacetime points.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Reuter et al. [Reu98, RS02] define the renormalisation group flow in terms of Wetterich equations [Wet93]. We expect that this notion is related to the Stückelberg-Petermann renormalization group we have introduced in Sect. 6.3 A result connecting the later to the Wilsonian flow has been already obtained in [BDF09].
