Regularization in quantum field theories
Abstract
Introduction/purpose: The principal techniques of regularization schemes and their validity for gauge field theories are discussed.
Methods: Schemes of dimensional regularization, Pauli–Villars and lattice regularization are discussed.
Results: The Coleman–Mandula theorem shows which gauge theories are renormalizable.
Conclusion: Some gauge field theories are renormalizable, the Standard Model in particular.
