The four-loop DRED gauge β-function and fermion mass anomalous dimension for general gauge groups

Abstract: We present four-loop results for the gauge β-function and the fermion mass anomalous dimension for a gauge theory with a general gauge group and a multiplet of fermions transforming according to an arbitrary representation, calculated using the dimensional reduction scheme. In the special case of a supersymmetric theory we confirm previous calculations of both the gauge β-function and the gaugino mass β-function.

“…[22], even after correcting them in Refs. [27,28], show that the β-function obtained from the fermion-fermion-vector, scalar-scalar-vector and ghost-ghost-vector vertexes vanishes, but obtaining the β-function from the fermion-fermionscalar vertex gives a non-vanishing result in the three-loop approximation [28]. This result reveals unsolved theoretical problems which appear if DRED is used for the regularization of SUSY theories.…”

“…The results of the one- [38] and two-loop [39] calculations agree with the NSVZ β-function, because a two-loop β-function and a one-loop anomalous dimension are scheme independent in theories with a single coupling constant. In higher orders [36,27,40] the exact NSVZ β-function for the RG functions defined in terms of the renormalized coupling constant can be obtained with the DR scheme after an additional finite renormalization. This finite renormalization should be fixed in each order of the perturbation theory, starting from the three-loop approximation [35,36,37,27].…”

“…However, it was also necessary to construct the subtraction scheme in which the NSVZ β-function is valid. The explicit loop calculations [11][12][13][14][15] (see [16] for a review) made with the dimensional reduction [17] in the DR-scheme agree with the NSVZ β-function only after a special finite renormalization which should be constructed in each order [12,18]. Up to now, there is no general prescription how to do it in an arbitrary order.…”

“…They are mainly connected to the fact that for the calculation of C 0 1 it is convenient to use DRED [32][33][34][35] whereas the calculations within the effective theory of Eq. (1) are performed with the help of DREG.…”
