Existence of the Bogoliubov S(g) operator for the $(:ϕ^4:)_2$ quantum field theory

We prove the existence of the Bogoliubov S(g) operator for the $(:ϕ^4:)_2$ quantum field theory for coupling functions $g$ of compact support in space and time. The construction is nonperturbative and relies on a theorem of Kisyński. It implies almost automatically the properties of unitarity and causality for disjoint supports in the time variable.

Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau Theory in the Causal Approach

In this paper we consider the scalar sector of Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau theory in the framework of Epstein-Glaser causal method. We calculate the lowest order distributions for Compton scattering, vacuum polarization, self-energy and vertex corrections. By requiring gauge invariance of the theory we recover, in a natural way, the scalar propagator of the usual effective theory.

Gauged Thirring Model in the Heisenberg Picture

We consider the (2+1)-dimensional gauged Thirring model in the Heisenberg picture. In this context we evaluate the vacuum polarization tensor as well as the corrected gauge boson propagator and address the issues of generation of mass and dynamics for the gauge boson (in the limits of QED$_3$ and Thirring model as a gauge theory, respectively) due to the radiative corrections.

Radiative Corrections for the Gauged Thirring Model in Causal Perturbation Theory

We evaluate the one-loop fermion self-energy for the gauged Thirring model in (2+1) dimensions, with one massive fermion flavor, in the framework of the causal perturbation theory. In contrast to QED$_3$, the corresponding two-point function turns out to be infrared finite on the mass shell. Then, by means of a Ward identity, we derive the on-shell vertex correction and discuss the role played by causality for nonrenormalizable theories.

Axial Anomaly through Analytic Regularization

In this work we consider the 2-point Green's functions in (1+1) dimensional quantum electrodynamics and show that the correct implementation of analytic regularization gives a gauge invariant result for the vaccum polarization amplitude and the correct coefficient for the axial anomaly.

Causal Theory for the Gauged Thirring Model

We consider the (2+1)-dimensional massive Thirring model as a gauge theory, with one fermion flavor, in the framework of the causal perturbation theory and address the problem of dynamical mass generation for the gauge boson. In this context we get an unambiguous expression for the coefficient of the induced Chern-Simons term.
