Renormalization using the background-field method

Gauge invariance of the background average effective action

Using the background field method for the functional renormalization group approach in the case of a generic gauge theory, we study the background field symmetry and gauge dependence of the…

On the background field method beyond one loop: a manifestly covariant derivative expansion in super Yang-Mills theories

There are currently many string inspired conjectures about the structure of the low-energy effective action for super Yang-Mills theories which require explicit multi-loop calculations. In this…

Renormalization of six-dimensional Yang-Mills theory in a background gauge field

Using the background field method, we study in a general covariant gauge the renormalization of the 6-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. This requires background gauge invariant counterterms, some of…

Multiplicative Renormalizability of Yang-Mills Theory with the Background Field Method in the BV Formalism

Studying the gauge-invariant renormalizability of four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory using the background field method and the BV formalism, we derive a classical master equation homogeneous with…

Multiplicative renormalization of Yang–Mills theories in the background-field formalism

In the paper, within the background field method, the structure of renormalizations is studied as for Yang–Mills fields interacting with a multiplet of spinor fields. By extending the Faddeev–Popov…

Gauge dependence of the effective action

The gauge dependence of the effective action of quantum non-Abelian gauge theories is studied. An alternative effective action is proposed and its equivalence with the usual effective action is…
