Renormalization in String-Localized Field Theories: A Microlocal Analysis

Abstract

AbstractUsing methods of microlocal analysis, we prove that the regularization of divergent amplitudes stays a pure ultraviolet problem in string-localized field theories, despite the weaker localization. Thus, power counting does not lose its significance as an indicator for renormalizability. It also follows that standard techniques can be used to regularize divergent amplitudes in string-localized field theories.
