ABSTRACT

The main purpose of Part II of this book is to develop a general theory of renormalization. This theory will explain the origin of ultraviolet divergences in field theory and will indicate when these divergences can be removed systematically. It will also give a way to convert the divergences of Feynman diagrams from a problem into a tool. We will apply this tool to study the asymptotic large-or small-momentum behavior of field theory amplitudes.
