Local renormalisation from causal loop-tree duality

We report recent progress on the development of a local renormalisation formalism based on causal loop-tree duality (cLTD). By performing an expansion around the UV-propagator in an Euclidean space, we manage to build counter-terms to cancel the non-integrable terms in the UV limit. This procedure is then combined with the so-called causal representation, and the UV expansion is performed at the level of on-shell energies. The resulting expressions are more compact, and they retain nice properties of the original causal representation. The proposed formalism is tested up to three-loops, with relevant families of topologies. In all the cases, we successfully cancel the UV divergences and achieve a smooth numerical implementation. These results constitute a first step towards a new renormalisation program in four space-time dimensions (by-passing DREG), perfectly suitable for fully numerical simulations.

Towards multiloop local renormalization within Causal Loop-Tree Duality

Renormalization is a well-known technique to get rid of ultraviolet (UV) singularities. When relying on Dimensional Regularization (DREG), these become manifest as $ε$-poles, allowing to define counter-terms with useful recursive properties. However, this procedure requires to work at \emph{integral-level} and poses difficulties to achieve a smooth combination with semi-numerical approaches. This article is devoted to the development of an integrand-level renormalization formalism, better suited for semi or fully numerical calculations. Starting from the Loop-Tree Duality (LTD), we keep the causal representations of the integrands of multiloop Feynman diagrams and explore their UV behaviour. Then, we propose a strategy that allows to build local counter-terms, capable of rendering the expressions integrable in the high-energy limit and in four space-time dimensions. Our procedure was tested on diagrams up to three-loops, and we found a remarkably smooth cancellation of divergences. The results of this work constitute a powerful step towards a fully local renormalization framework in QFT.
