Improved Epstein-Glaser renormalization in x-space versus differential renormalization

Gracia-Bondía, J.M. (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Gutiérrez, H. ; Várilly, J.C.

Resumen: Renormalization of massless Feynman amplitudes in x-space is reexamined here, using almost exclusively real-variable methods. We compute a wealth of concrete examples by means of recursive extension of distributions. This allows us to show perturbative expansions for the four-point and two-point functions at several loop order. To deal with internal vertices, we expound and expand on convolution theory for log-homogeneous distributions. The approach has much in common with differential renormalization as given by Freedman, Johnson and Latorre; but differs in important details.
