Examples

  • In general, a QFT is called renormalizable, if all infinities can be absorbed into a redefinition of a finite number of coupling constants and masses.

    Quantum Field Theory Kuhlmann, Meinard 2006

  • Hence this is logarithmically divergent, which is easily renormalizable.

  • Do you disagree with my argument that, the renormalizable couplings of the Standard Model are insensitive to the distribution of fluxes on cycles disjoint from the locus on which the Standard Model degrees of freedom are localized?

    String Theory is Losing the Public Debate Sean 2007

  • And so the precise distribution of fluxes on those cycles do not affect the renormalizable couplings of the Standard Model at all.

    String Theory is Losing the Public Debate Sean 2007

  • Part of the problem in reconciling gravity with quantum mechanics is “technical” — GR is not renormalizable, by the lights of ordinary quantum field theory.

    arxiv Find: Universal Quantum Mechanics Sean 2007

  • Count Iblis, the point is that if you have a renormalizable theory you can to some degree expect to be able to define it perturbatively, since order by order nothing undefined happens.

  • They went on to demonstrate that this scaling could be understood in the context of renormalizable theories, thus providing further evidence that QCD is renormalizable.

    Prizes Galore! JoAnne 2006

  • But is wrongness theory renormalizable or are there infinities that will continue to arise giving meaningless answers?

    The wrongness singularity Sean 2006

  • The fact that a low energies we have renormalizable theories is i.m.o. just because any nonrenormalizable terms have renormalized to zero when integrating out high energy physics.

    Why 10 or 11? Sean 2006

  • So if you find a renormalizable perturbation expansion of Quantum Gravity you can say you have found a theory.
