SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a paper available at arxiv.org (http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-th/pdf/9507/9507067.pdf) that proposes a novel method for renormalizing non-renormalizable theories in quantum field theory (QFT). The authors introduce a new set of fields and impose constraints on their interactions to eliminate divergences typically encountered in QFT calculations. This approach marks a significant advancement towards a comprehensive understanding of fundamental interactions, potentially leading to a final theory of physics. The community is encouraged to explore the implications of this method and its effectiveness in passing asymptotic tests.

here you can check at arxiv.org webpage http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-th/pdf/9507/9507067.pdf a theory to avoid divergences in qft non renormalizble theories,with that we are a step closer to final theory,hope it can be helpful.

Was there ever any followup to this paper? Did their methods ever pass the asymptotic test they mention? It seems that their simple algebra would be more widely employed unless there were some hitch.
 


Renormalization is an essential tool in the study of quantum field theory (QFT), allowing us to make sense of theories that would otherwise be plagued by infinities. However, certain theories, known as non-renormalizable theories, are still not fully understood within the framework of renormalization. These theories have an infinite number of divergences that cannot be removed through the standard renormalization procedure.

In this paper, the authors propose a new approach to renormalizing non-renormalizable theories. By introducing a new set of fields and imposing certain constraints on the interactions between these fields, they are able to eliminate the divergences that would normally arise in QFT calculations. This approach represents an important step towards a complete understanding of these theories and brings us closer to a final theory that can fully describe the fundamental interactions of our universe.

It is exciting to see progress being made in the study of non-renormalizable theories, and this paper provides valuable insights into how we can overcome the challenges posed by these theories. Hopefully, this new approach will prove to be helpful in furthering our understanding of the fundamental laws of nature.
