On the renormalization method: a different outlook,and the energy-momentum tensor in the gφ4 theory

An alternate method of renormalizing a quartic self-interacting boson theory has been developed. We find that one can obtain finite renormalized expressions for the perturbation theory contributions to the Green's function without carrying out limiting procedures. As a consequence of the analysis, one is able to renormalize explicitly the field energy-momentum tensor to all orders. There exists a one-parameter family of renormalized tensors. The method will allow for a simple determination of the asymptotic “zero-mass” theory.
