Charge renormalization of the Yang-Mills theory up to fourth order using dimensional regularization

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

We use the technique of dimensional regularization with Wilson loops to do explicitly the calculations of the renormalization of the charge in the Yang-Mills theory up to fourth order. We show that in dimensions different from four the results cannot be interpreted as charge renormalization.

Riassunto

Si usa la tecnica di regolarizzazione dimensionale con loops di Wilson per calcolare esplicitamente la rinormalizzazione della carica nella teoria di Yang-Mills fino al quarto ordine. Si mostra che in dimensioni diverse da quattro i risultati non possono essere interpretati come una rinormalizzazione di carica.
