Normal Products and Zimmermann Identities in Configuration Space BPHZ Renormalization (1708.04115v2)
Published 14 Aug 2017 in math-ph, hep-th, and math.MP
Abstract: The notion of normal products, a generalization of Wick products, is derived with respect to BPHZ renormalization formulated entirely in configuration space. Inserted into time-ordered products, normal products admit the limit of coinciding field operators, which constitute the product. The derivation requires the introduction of Zimmermann identities, which relate field monomials or renormalization parts with differing subtraction degree. Furthermore, we calculate the action of wave operators on elementary fields inserted into time-ordered products, exploiting the properties of normal products.
