In its generalized form it describes the change of a scale in Green functions, and hence relates to the operator product expansion. Hand in hand with this generalization goes the generalization of the ordinary factorial $n!$ to the tree factorial $t^!$. Various identities on tree-factorials are derived which clarify the relation between Connes-Moscovici weights and Quantum Field Theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v5", "updated": "1999-09-18T06:17:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "operator product expansion", "chens iterated integral represents", "quantum field theory", "formalism underlying renormalization theory", "connes-moscovici weights" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 494333, "adsabs": "1999hep.th....1099K" } } }
