Differential Renormalization of the Wess-Zumino Model

Abstract

We apply the recently developed method of differential renormalization to the Wess-Zumino model. From the explicit calculation of a finite, renormalized effective action, the $\beta$-function is computed to three loops and is found to agree with previous existing results. As a further, nontrivial check of the method, the Callan-Symanzik equations are also verified to that loop order. Finally, we argue that differential renormalization presents advantages over other superspace renormalization methods, in that it avoids both the ambiguities inherent to supersymmetric regularization by dimensional reduction (SRDR), and the complications of virtually all other supersymmetric regulators.
