The Hopf graph algebra and renormalization group equations

We study the renormalization group equations implied by the Hopf graph algebra. The vertex functions are regarded as vectors in the dual space of the Hopf algebra. The renormalization group equations for these vertex functions are equivalent to those for individual Feynman integrals. The solution of the renormalization group equations can be represented in the form of an exponential of the beta function. We clearly show that the exponential of the one-loop beta function allows finding the coefficients of the leading logarithms for individual Feynman integrals. The calculation results agree with those obtained in the parquet approximation.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 143, No. 1, pp. 22–32, April, 2005.
