On Restricting to One Loop Order the Radiative Effects in Quantum Gravity
F. T. Brandt, J. Frenkel, D. G. C. McKeon
The dimensionful nature of the coupling in the Einstein-Hilbert action in four dimensions implies that the theory is non-renormalizable; explicit calculation shows that beginning a…
First order formulation of the Yang-Mills theory in a background field
F. T. Brandt, J. Frenkel, D. G. C. McKeon
The background gauge renormalization of the first order formulation of the Yang-Mills theory is studied by using the BRST identities. Together with the background symmetry, these i…
Renormalization of six-dimensional Yang-Mills theory in a background gauge field
F. T. Brandt, J. Frenkel, D. G. C. McKeon
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 counte…
A Systematic Expansion of Running Couplings and Masses
F. A. Chishtie, D. G. C. McKeon, T. N. Sherry
As an alternative to directly integrating their defining equations to find the running coupling and the running mass , we expand these quantities in powers of $\ln\lef…
The Renormalization Group and the Effective Potential in the Wess-Zumino model
D. G. C. McKeon
We consider the effective potential V in the massless Wess-Zumino model. By using the renormalization group equation, we show that the explicit dependence of V on the renormalizati…
The Non-Abelian Gauge Field Propagator in a Plane Wave Background Field
D. G. C. McKeon
Employing methods introduced by Schwinger in quantum electrodynamics, we compute the propagator for a non-Abelian gauge field in a plane wave background field. In the long distance…
