Abstract

This paper is the second in a series devoted to the development of a rigorous renormalisation group method for lattice field theories involving boson fields, fermion fields, or both. The method is set within a normed algebra \(\mathcal {N}\) of functionals of the fields. In this paper, we develop a general method—localisation—to approximate an element of \(\mathcal {N}\) by a local polynomial in the fields. From the point of view of the renormalisation group, the construction of the local polynomial corresponding to \(F \in \mathcal {N}\) amounts to the extraction of the relevant and marginal parts of \(F\). We prove estimates relating \(F\) and its corresponding local polynomial, in terms of the \(T_\phi \) semi-norm introduced in part I of the series.
