A renormalized Feynman amplitude expressed in the α-parameters is defined by introducing a subtraction operator acting directly upon the α-integrand. Different forms of this subtraction operator are discussed. We define the isotropic and nonisotropic normal products and we give a more general oversubtraction rule which ensures both the absolute convergence of the amplitude and the Bogolubov, Parasiuk and Hepp recurrence. The proof of absolute convergence of the amplitude is performed using Hepp’s sectors and equivalence classes of nests.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
