Asymptotic Freedom of V-A Fermi Interaction

We consider the V-A Fermi interaction and apply an earlier developed method for summing up the leading asymptotics for scattering amplitudes in non-renormalizable theories. We consider the amplitude of fermion-antifermion scattering and derive the corresponding RG equation that sums the leading logarithmic contributions just like in renormalizable models. Numerical solution of this equation in the asymptotic regime $s\sim t\sim u \sim E^2 \to \infty$ leads to amplitude logarithmically decreasing with energy, thus restoring the unitarity violated at the tree level.

High-energy behaviour of Fermi theory

We consider the 4-fermion scattering amplitude in massless Fermi theory. Based on the Bogolyubov-Parasyuk theorem, which guarantees locality of the counter terms, we derive the recurrence relations for ultraviolet divergences of diagrams that establish a connection between successive orders of perturbation theory. We check their validity up to three loops comparing them with explicit calculation made earlier. Then we construct the corresponding RG equation that sums up the leading logarithmic contributions in all orders of perturbation theory. Numerical analysis of these equations in the asymptotic regime $s\sim t\sim u \sim E^2 \to \infty$ is performed for two cases: the unit and the V-A operator in the fermion current. We found out that for the unit operator the high energy behaviour of the theory in the leading order is characterized by the presence of the Landau pole, while for the V-A operator the theory is asymptotically free. Therefore, in the latter case, radiative corrections restores unitarity, which is violated at the tree level. We compare the obtained behaviour of the amplitude with one in the theory with the intermediate gauge bosons and found an overlap between them.

Loop corrections to the four-fermion interaction

We consider the f f to f f scattering amplitudes for the a massless four-fermion interaction model in four dimensions. At first we take the simplest version with the scalar current-current interaction. The loop corrections up to the three-loop level are calculated within the spinor-helicity formalism using the Weyl spinors. We find out that there are two independent spinor structures that appear in all orders of perturbation theory that can be separated when calculating the diagrams. Our aim is to calculate the leading divergences within the dimensional regularization. To check the validity of our calculations, we use the recurrence relations that connect the leading divergences in the subsequent orders of perturbation theory. We left the derivation of these relations and further analysis of the consequences for another publication for the sake of clarity of the current presentation. At the end we briefly consider the physically more interesting case of V-A interaction.

UV Divergences of Scattering Amplitudes in D-dimensional Yang-Mills Theories

We consider UV divergences for the on-shell planar gluon-gluon scattering amplitudes in the gauge theory in arbitrary D-dimensions in the one-loop order. The amplitudes are evaluated using the standard Feynman diagram technique for several choices of external gluon polarizations. Using the Passarino - Veltman reduction, the expansion in terms of the scalar master integrals is constructed and their calculation is performed within dimensional regularization. The resulting expressions are confronted with existing results for various cases, including maximally supersymmetric theories in D=4, 6, 8, and 10 dimensions. One finds that, contrary to the D=4 case, in D=6 one-loop UV divergences cancel, while in D=8 and 10 the contributions of gauge, scalar and fermion loops have the same sign.

High Energy Behaviour in Maximally Supersymmetric Gauge Theories in Various Dimensions

Maximally supersymmetric field theories in various dimensions are believed to possess special properties due to extended supersymmetry. In four dimensions they are free from UV divergences but are IR divergent on shell, in higher dimensions, on the contrary, they are IR finite but UV divergent. In what follows we consider the four-point on-shell scattering amplitudes in D=6,8,10 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the planar limit within the spinor-helicity and on shell supersymmetric formalism. We study the UV divergences and demonstrate how one can sum them over all orders of PT. Analyzing the R-operation we obtain the recursive relations and derive differential equations that sum all leading, subleading, etc., divergences in all loops generalizing the standard RG formalism for the case of nonrenormalizable interactions. We then perform the renormalization procedure which differs from the ordinary one in that the renormalization constant becomes the operator depending on kinematics. Solving the obtained RG equations for particular sets of diagrams analytically and for the general case numerically, we analyze their high energy behaviour and find out that while each term of PT increases as a power of energy the total sum behaves differently: in D=6 two partial amplitudes decrease with energy and the third one increases exponentially, while in D=8 and 10 the amplitudes possess an infinite number of periodic poles at finite energy.

The Structure of UV Divergences in Maximally Supersymmetric Gauge Theories

We consider the UV divergences up to sub-sub leading order for the four-point on-shell scattering amplitudes in D=8 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the planar limit. We trace how the leading, subleading, etc divergences appear in all orders of perturbation theory. The structure of these divergences is typical for any local quantum field theory independently on renormalizability. We show how the generalized RG equations allow one to evaluate the leading, subleading, etc. contributions in all orders of PT starting from one-, two-, etc. loop diagrams respectively. We focus then on subtraction scheme dependence of the results and show that in full analogy with renormalizable theories the scheme dependence can be absorbed into the redefinition of the couplings. The only difference is that the role of the couplings play dimensionless combinations like g^2s^2 or g^2t^2, where s and t are the Mandelstam variables.

Summation of all-loop UV Divergences in Maximally Supersymmetric Gauge Theories

We consider the leading and subleading UV divergences for the four-point on-shell scattering amplitudes in D=6,8,10 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in the planar limit. These theories belong to the class of maximally supersymmetric gauge theories and presumably possess distinguished properties beyond perturbation theory. In the previous works, we obtained the recursive relations that allow one to get the leading and subleading divergences in all loops in a pure algebraic way. The all loop summation of the leading divergences is performed with the help of the differential equations which are the generalization of the RG equations for non-renormalizable theories. Here we mainly focus on solving and analyzing these equations. We discuss the properties of the obtained solutions and interpretation of the results.
