Massless quantum field theory is usually troubled by both ultraviolet and infrared divergences. With the help of analytic continuation, this fact can be exploited to eliminate, or at least reduce the overall number of divergences. This mechanism is investigated within the context of dimensional regularization for the case of massless [Formula: see text] theory in four dimensions.

Analytic continuation leads to the finite renormalization of a quantum field theory. This is illustrated in a determination of the two loop renormalization group functions for [Formula: see text] in four dimensions.

This work is continuation of a stochastic quantization program reported earlier. In this paper, we propose a consistent scheme of doing computations directly in four dimensions using conventional quantum field theory methods.

We present a simple method for analytic continuation of harmonic sums near negative and positive integer numbers. We provide a precomputed database for the exact expansion of harmonic sums over a small parameter near these integer numbers, along with MATHEMATICA code, which shows the application of the database for actual problems. We also provide the FORM code that was used to obtain the database mentioned above. The applications of the obtained database for the study of evolution equations in the quantum field theory are discussed.

This chapter describes in detail the general concept of renormalization. It starts with a discussion of the regularization of Feynman diagrams. After that, the subtraction procedure is explained in detail, followed by an introduction to the notion of a superficial degree of divergence of the diagram. On this basis, the models of quantum field theory are classified as renormalizable or non-renormalizable theories. The main arbitrariness of the subtraction procedure is fixed by imposing renormalization conditions. Special sections of this chapter are devoted to renormalization in dimensional regularization and renormalization group equations.
