Equivalence of renormalization with self-adjoint extension in Green's function formalism

Abstract

Energy-dependent Green's functions for the two and three dimensional $\delta$-function plus harmonic oscillator potential systems are derived by incorporating the renormalization and the self-adjoint extension into the Green's function formalism, respectively. It is shown that both methods yield an identical Green's function if a certain relation between the self-adjoint extension parameter and the renormalized coupling constant is imposed.
