Renormalization of gauge fields using Hopf algebras

Walter D. van Suijlekom

Published 2008-01-21Version 1

We describe the Hopf algebraic structure of Feynman graphs for non-abelian gauge theories, and prove compatibility of the so-called Slavnov-Taylor identities with the coproduct. When these identities are taken into account, the coproduct closes on the Green's functions, which thus generate a Hopf subalgebra.
