We develop a purely local version of the Stueckelberg-Bogoliubov-Epstein-Glaser method of renormalization using techniques from microlocal analysis. As byproducts, we describe a perturbative construction of local algebras of observables, present a new definition of Wick polynomials as operator-valued distributions on a natural domain, and we find a general method for the extension of distributions which were defined on the complement of some surfaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-03-12T14:49:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "81T05", "81T20" ], "keywords": [ "interacting quantum field theories", "microlocal analysis", "physical backgrounds", "renormalization", "perturbative construction" ], "tags": [ "journal article", "famous paper" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Springer", "journal": "Communications in Mathematical Physics", "year": 2000, "volume": 208, "number": 3, "pages": 623 }, "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 38, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 497168, "adsabs": "2000CMaPh.208..623B" } } }
