Itjust saus that, taking Ward into consideration, ifyou slide allyour Greens functions andyour charge atthesametime, nothing changes. Yourlocation, sotospeak ,onthisslide is recorded bytherenormalization point parameter \.Ihave made some notes already onthis business, seeRenorm inQED stapled section inGeneral Field Theory binder. ksareminder oftheir notation, thefunction disthephoton oronagactr mumberator function, whilce aandbaretheelectron prop numerators. Sometimes these two are treated together ass. With some straightforward dimensional fiddling (all ofwhich Ihave verified) youquickly endup,eg,with equation (42.13) which says: thequantitys eandd each devend ontherenormalization point, butthecombination e*d isindependent of\andistherefore, reasonably, called theinvariant charge. Thenotation dy refers tothe usual d,ie, dwith the renorm point chosen at\=0.Thecorresponding charge inthis case istheobserved charge e, Now, the basic "global" renormalization group equations are (42.10) for d 6 and(42.15) fors=aorb.Theseequations areverysimilar tothosediscussed byGell-Mann end Low, but they seem tobemore clearly derived and there are not somany differnt functions. The pair ofR-group equations isthen rewritten as (42.17 and 18). Itseems tomethat, inthese equations, (x,y,t,e~) should beregarded as independent variebles, anddandsarethefunctions, eshe of3variables, that youwanttodetermine. Ie,e*isnotitself afunction here .Nowitturns out that you need some "boundary conditions" inorder togetameaningful solution ofthese "functional" equations. Anobvious fect isthis: when theparamter e2 (the variable e2)isvery small, youknow dandsasperturbation exoansions. Now, bydifferentiating the global equations they end upwith some differential equations (42.24 end25). They call thése Lieequationas, fine. Here ishowyouare supposed tosolve them: first, yousomehow figure outwhat d(x,y,e%) isforxnear unity. Thismeans k*near. Ityoukeepe*small, youcanuseperturbation estimates theri forthefunctions Jand/{. Then youintegrate thepreceding two equations tolearn d(x,y,e*) forgeneral x,perhaps xcorresponding toasymmomentum. AsanalSde,itisnotedthatthevertexhasmenyinvariantfunctionsandeach Fe)one has anequation similar tothe above equation for sord. Now lets goright totheUVsolution attempt, page 524. Asymptotic means in effect that you can setvariable y=0, thus simplifying things. Thelie equations arethen (43.3 and4).First, equation (43.3) isintegrated toyield (43.7), aresult familier from Gell_Mann Low ormodern BETA functions discussions (later).In43.7,ifyouknewthefunctiong,youcouldsolveford,verhaps.Letssee.(*) Asafirst step, they quote aresult which gives d(x,e) acaperturbation expansion through order é,where x=p/n? islarge. Thisthing iscalled dy because itiscomputed with theusual %:0.Notice that ineffect this thing isnotanexpansion ine2,butine@logx andxislarge! Now they take some steps Idont quite follow. Ipresume that (443.9) isthe large xresult, notreally valid forxnear 1,Buttousethis d,tovompute J, youneed d(x..) forxnear 1andthey aregoing touse(43.9).

Thus43.10 “pives B(z) forsmall 2.Nowplug this into (43.7) andwegettheresult (43.12). Nowihave”to ask: whyis43.12 anybetter than 43.9 277 Itissupposed to be “better” somehow. The conclusions that BSdraw from this section are alittle disapzainting.True,theyhavesolvedforthefunction d(x,e*) asin(43.12), buttheydont & goontoask: what does e”look like athigh energy, insome sense. Itseems tomelooking at(42.14) that what youreally want toknow is thebehavior ofthefunction d,(x,e,*) since thiswilltellyouwhatthecharge does asafunction ofrenormalization point. Iguess that iswhyGell-Mann Low have twofunctions sand s,, akin toBS's danddy. Soalthough Iamable toderive almost everything here, the conelusions are 2let down. However, having derived 43.7, Ifeel Ihave derived Gell-Mann Low equation (5.9). Inthatparer, symbol eisrenorm charge ande,isbarecharge. Recall thatiftheir PSI(x) hasazeroatsomefinite x-x,, thenlarge acorresponds toafinite value ofthe bare charge. Bare charge ofcourse means the asymptotic charge. .. Iamstopping onpage 529.

F t i Summary ofthe Callen paper. fo) Theso-called scale-Ward identities derivedinearlierCCJpapersarestatedinthe first section. Recall that these state that: acertain differential operator S acting onaGreens function G”yields F,where Finvolves theVEVTOP ofthefields along with 0,the divergence ofthe dilatation current. Ifyou have scale invarience, then this current isconserved, 0-0, and F=0, This formelism was invented toprovide aframework for desbribing the breaking ofscale invariance bymass terms inthe lagrangien. Inthe next section itisshown that something iswrong with these scale-ward identities because they predict something which cannot betrue, Namely, you can show that consideration of§G"=F"forthe "basic n"ofthetheoryh (ie, forthe renorm parts like n=2,4) requires there tobead/d\ term added tothe operator S,aterm which does not come out ofthe scale-Ward identities. This analysis requires that you simply pay attention tok renormalization theory and how meny times each renorm pert is subtracted. The result isthis: even ifyou have naive scale invariance with nomass terms inyour lagrangian, thescaling lawreads $G"=0 where Smust contain thet extra term. Ithink this equation S$G"=0 islater called theCallen Symanzik equation. The extra term issometimes called "implicit scale breaking", nice that itcan beincorporated CO cosimply. Aless higborically significant part ofthis paper says that there isaniterative method ofcomputing theG*which allows youtoavoid alloverlap problems. Butthe main result ofthis paper and the reason itisfamous isthe statement ofthat simple scaling law. This law implies that the lerge momenta behavior ofagreéns function (iewhere masses dont matter) issomehow correlated todependente ofG®onthecoupling constant .Itisnoted also that thescaling lawisnotrescued merely byallowing the scale dimension ofthe fields togoanomolous. You really need that extra term in there. From mypresent viewpoint, Ithink the origin ofthis extra term isclearly explained inthe Abarbanel review. 6 — ——Camend.

Mymotivation for reading this paper was simply that Iwas reading the source papers for Callan Symanzik equations, and the Symanzkk paper said itwas taking its notation from this Symanzik paper. This paper ismainly interested inthe subject ofrenormalization inthe presence ofSSB,something Idonotwanttogetintonow.Thetool Sym.usesinthisdiscussion isthe scale Ward identities like those general onges (for any conserved current) that Isawderived intheCCJpaper. These Ward identities arestatements about theG” greens functions andtheir relation toVEVTOP with divergence ofthe conserved current inside, ie, the same type ofequation Callen used inhis paper inthe special case of scale symmetry. SoIdont really know howthis tool isused, butfwasinterested toseehowyou can restate the Ward identities intedrms offirst the generating functional G[J], and alsointermsoftheproper vertex generating functional [A].Thesetransformed statements ofthe Ward identities get fancy names like Kazes-Rivers identities. The connection ofthis tool toits work is, Ithink, that the sigma type models break their invariance byaterm linear inthe field (you can think either ofscale @_ wreaking somehow, bytmainly breaking ofCACtogetPOAC). Thislinear "signa" term looks just like asource term, and this source term you recall isthe basis ofthe _functional approach. Sosomehow the functional approach gets used toshow rénormalizability. Ithink that asaspinoff this paper led metoasimple graphical language for the functional formalism, inparticlyr, how torelate proper vertices tofull vertices and soon,d/dJ isalittle arrow strung toaexternal particle ball, ans soon. 6 ~~Syornagik G8. .-Ce ee STE ODheist QeronBoaoyuNak,amyWucktupnin ZondabeAltaad sunvubow, Wardad jey9,2T3-ee.paperiLdaawalla ; =nmyGeyCabiie=ryGe.

Recall that Callen showed the need for the extra coupling constant derivative not normally included inascaling enalysis (ie, ascale invariance analysis, eg, the scale-Ward identities ofCCJ). Onthe other hand Gellmenn Low got their asymptotic forms for greens functions from the global renorm group equations like d=ddstuff, same asinBS. The difference here isthat Symanzik derives his equations using the functional methods. Insection Iheconsiders gandendsupwith theusual Callen ~Symznzik equation. The key ingredient isrealizing that certain objects have degree Dpositive andthis allows you(requires you) todefine various parameters like gandm.These then appears inthe CSequations. The CSequation inturn can beused toget aform for the asymptotic behavior ofthe greens functions, and you see the deviation from simply naive scaling behavior, de, thelogs. Later papers atthis point combine with Wilson toexpalain scaling results at SLAC. 6 Nextsection repeats everything forQEDratherthan#4.]" Appandix Iguess shows howthenaive scale invariance predictions arewrong. Atthe moment this paper istoo technical for me. Iwould rather get back to the Pagels QCD review Istarted. Once Iunderstand someones derivation ofthe CS equations, Icangoback and seehow everyone else derived them intheir ownway. -~ lo) DarineMeeFawnnsa,(2)€.5)(1-6) OfereetokOkewayoordoperder Drie:ik, Ocm-\uygoSThEOTE] _eieCiS)YasSE GT =og(AkBES)) GI.

Summary oftheGell-Mann Low papers ‘ 8Byfiddling around with dimensional analysis, they come upwith certain "renorm| alization groupequations" whicharenotofthedifferential "CallanSymansik" form i but which instead ere the global Z=Z.Z form, where the cutoff papameter and momentum appears asarguements. Seeeg(3.9). Aleter section ofthis paper actually uses two separate cutoff parameters sothe multiplication equations are alittle messier. You cannot completely solve these renorm group equations, but you can learn something about the form ofthe solution, inthe sense ofKNO scaling say. You learn (asseems reasonable frommiltiplication idea) thet S(p) propagator goes asapower(P*)” butyoucannot compute n(later Ithink AFboys shown howyoumight compute n).Just how you solve the R-group equations toget this general power form isdiscussed inan appendix. Obviously, ifyouknow this "form ofsolution", youknow something about thelarge p® behavior ofthefunction Z(p). Since aZscales etoe,,youinprimciple arelearing about €,-Inother words, given thephysical charge e,bylearning about thelarge p* behavior ofZ(p) youcanlearn about e,.That wasthemain interest ofthis paper: just exactly what isthe "bare charge", the charge you see atsmall distances, high energy. o) The"scaleformofthesolutions" canbereformulated asanintegralstatement(5.9) .This statements contains functions PSI which islater tobecalled the BETA function. Here isthe important fact: ifthis function has azero for finite argument, sayX5ythenthelarge k*behavior isdescribed byafinite Z(called d),andhence the bare charge isfinite. Ifthere are nozeros ofthe function sSPI, then the bare charge isinifite. The authors are not able tostate which isinfact the case. Ithink even today 1978 the answer tothis question isunknown. So, tosummarize, this paper hwas two important contents: first, ithas golbal renorm group equations ofthe type you now see inBogo Shirkov and Bjorken Drell. Second, it shows the "solution" ofthese equations interms afaBETA function whose zeros have the significance that thehigh-energy charge "(bare charge) can befinite andnot inifite. Later welearn that in@NAGT you have asymptotic freedom which means that the high-energy charge isinfact zero. This paper does not contain differentiel R-group equations ofthe CZtype, nor does itsay anything about scale invariance orPCAC orconserve dcurrents etc. Their Gwin interest wassaithQEDandwhbther e,isorisnotafinite number. Afterall,thiswas written in 195). 8.23.78 re)Gellman-Low: "QEDatsmalldistances". 195k : Comment: This isthe paper which ley dormant for 15years and then led into asymptotic .freedom via the renorm group equations. Authors are ofcourse interested inQED only. ? : 1,Introduction. What isthe true pobentiel between two charges? Asweimow, itis the PTofthe photon propagator and will thus contain effects from the vacuum polarization graph. The finite parts ofthe vacpole effects are shown in1.3 as acertain 5/6 andsoon.There isadivergent piece also, ie, asyou take r=0 “ .*yougetalogdivergent piece. Thebracketed factor isthenjust25%andthisis its usual log divergence. Ineffect, (1.3) is2computation ofthe bare charge interms ofthe (Observed and finite) renormalized charge. But only toafinite order inperturbation theory. The authors are wondering this: just what isthe bare charge e,toellorders ofperturbation theory? Isitreally infinite? They have this nice way ofvisuelizing your measurement ofthe bare charge: you probe small. distances so you getthrough the polarization cloud. Asyou really: getinthere, you seethebare charge ey. Interesting howtheword "bare" ieused but,this picture notusually conjuredupbyme.* : fo) Asanaside, they quote that. QEDrenormalization was proved in1949-1951 by. Dyson, Salam and Ward. o 2.Representations forthePropagators. Basically thevarious Z'saredefined. Dp" Astheunrenormelized-but—full photon propagator, thething thatwillhaveZ,in its numerator’sttherenormalization pointwhichisp=0.ThenDggigwhatwewould call the renormalized propagator, see (2.2). Certain integral representations for 25-1and2571aregiven, Ithink these arecal@ed Kellen reps, nodoubt based on uniterity somehow. Acomment ismade about photon mass renormalization end how you have tothrow away the big quadratic divergent term. 3.QEDignoring photon propsgator renormalizatitn,eie, with 2,1. °Suppose you compute Zp You canuse aFeynmen cutoff onthephoton prop sothat electron self- energy perts erefinite inthecutoff. Bvaluting@(e) with renormed charge ey, ifyoulook near p=myoucangetZp,andifyoulook forlarge pyougetsome result asshown in(3.5). Again, just’ afewterms in’perturbation series for these quantities. Equation(3.9)showshowthenumerators oftheunrenormed andrenormedphuknxpelectron © props are related inacertain Limit: cutoff.MGT.p.MGP.m. You notice thet the renormalized propagators numerator Sgisafunction ofp/manddoes nothave problems involving thecutoff. This thing isfinite. Ofcourse 25isfunction ofX/m andtheunremormed prop isfunction ofYe,where mis neglected. This equation (3.9) isthekind ofrennormalization-group ratio-style equation Ihave senn in BSand BDand elsewhere. Roughly itcays that the UVdivergence ofthe unrenorn propisallcontained inZ.Asyoumight guess, theonlysolution thatequation (3.9) canhave isapower solution (ie,arepofthemultiplication group). thus, inthispartial theory youfindthetZ)isaconstant Atimes(S/#t)™ where n issome power. Ie,inperturbation theory you ereonly getting afewterms whéch arelogs, butthey seem toalladduptoapower (afamilar happening). Then you conclude that thefull electron propagator must behave as2power ofp2/m@, andtheb usingtheWardidentity youcanlearnthebehavior ofthevertex. Ithink basically this isjust dimensionality arguments atwork. Equation (3.9) arises merely because youknow what each function candepend on.So,using the renormalization group’argument, youcanin-effect compute theformofthefull propagetor ,although thé little power nisnot so-computed. That was probably the reason Gell-mann Low stfor awhile: noway tocompute n. “Notice, bythewey} that there arenodifferential renormalization group equations in’this paper. There seems asyettobenomention ofa"renormalization point" inthesense ofpofPagels review. Butthere isavague idea: (look at (3.9) that youcancompensate foracharnge inthecutoff ®bychanging 2p(bychanging thecharge...). Ie,thinkofsg=s/z9.Thisratiohastobeindependent e ofthe cutoff because itgives the finite, renormelizaed prop. Ithink-it isthis same idea which decomes the differential equation later on. ij.Ward's Method used asacutoff. Thevertex Dyson equation iswritten down (and Dyson given credit fordefining the1piobjects, Ithink). Then these equations ere "subtracted" inacertain wayh which causes theunrenormed SpaND Dppropagators tobenormalized (ie,unitresidue) stpoints f=\andkX. Thus, although they donot use the term "renormalization points", they are ineffect choosing independent renormalization points for the two basic propagators ofthe theory. This then quickly leads toequations like (4.7). This equation relates the originel divergent functicn Sp'(e,). totheZo(% X).andtheSp(d,%) +Ie,foranyparticular value ofthepairXs thisletter object isthefinite renormalized: propagator. There is sort ofadouble renormalization group here ,twofloating parameters. Now (4.7) isjust (4.7) with these parameters attheir usual values (ie, theusual renorm points used inQED). Nowifyoudivide (4.7) by(4.7'), then theoriginal infinite ordivergent function cancels out, andtheratio ofthetwoZp's is.called 25,thus yielding equation (4.7)". Thisequation tellsyouineffect howyoucandeform oo) from the"stendard” renormalized propagator Spy with itscharge e;toanother prop that isafinite distance awey, sotospeak. -2- One might refer tothis little triad ofequations astheRenormalizetion Group C)_emstions forGED,Mext,theygoontorewrite theseequations intermsofthenumerator functions only.

There seem to be4,functions and two parameters e;- 5.Asymptotic Behavior ofQEDPropagators. Using dimensional arguments, ourthree renorm group equations arecast into theform (5.3) through (5.5). NowIhave to golearn how the “solve "these things. This isappendix Bsowait. For now just look atthe solution: itislike KNO sceling: the function d,=photon prop numerator =F(z)where 2=(k2/m2) xsomeunknown function ofe;7. Asyoutakek?/m? toinf in(5.6), youareineffect computing thebare charge, asshown in(5.8). So,suppose F(2) =finite value aszgoes toinf.; then the thepty has afinite bare charge, which depends onthe function Fbut not atallonthe number ey. Onthe other hand perhaps F(z) =inf asz-inf, inwhich case there isaninfinite bare charge, this iscase (a), which wemight nowcall UVSlavery (coupling grows without limit as yougotohigh energy). Perhaps asaspecial case ofcase (b)youwill have eg fo} approaches 0.ThisisAsymptotic Freedom. WenowknowthatthisdeesnothappeninQED since itisabelian. Probably there isafinite UVcoupling constant for QED, which may befound innew HEphoton experiaents. See Pagels review page 161. In(5.9) they present analternate form of(5.6) solution totheRGequations. Here the unknown functions are qandA and itisclémed that you cam compute these inperturbation theory (whereas youcould notforFandJoftheother solution). Look now atthe form (5.9). Suppose the RHS diverges only asthe upper endpoint goes toinf. This might bethecase iffunction 4{x) never goes through zero. Inthis caseyouwould have that k*/m@-» ©ase9-700 sothisisourfriend Case (a). However, suppose (x) hasazero somewhere atsome finite x=x,. Then youare getting k2/n@ corresponding toe,=somefinite value, andthis iscase (b). Thus, (x) must betodays BETA function. Its zeros determine the positions ofthe UVvalues emight take. Somehow afuture author isgoing toredo all this stuff using the differentiel equation approach. Appendix A: Derives the Kallen-type representations for the Z's, not too relevent.
