Algebraic, constructive, perturbative RG flow approaches regularization - renormalization UV, IR, zero convergence radius Landau ghost, trivial Higgs model? add Gravity or deform Space-Time many approaches limited wedge localization merge general relativity with quantum field theory through noncommutative geometry Manifold: nc algebra, differential calculus, projective modules,...

8 Interpretation The insertion of a special vertex Vab ins := (H an H nb )φ bn φ na n into an external face of a ribbon graph is the same as the difference between the exchanges of external sources J nb J na and J an J bn The dots stand for the remaining face indices. Z( a b )G ins [ab]... = G b... G a...

9 SD equation 2 vertex is Z 2 λ, connected two-point function is G ab : first graph equals Z 2 λ q G aq open p-face in Σ R and compare with insertion into connected two-point function; insert either into 1P reducible line or into 1PI function:

10 Amputate upper G ab two-point function, sum over p, multiply by vertex Z 2 λ, obtain: Σ R ab : Σ R ab = Z 2 λ p (G ab ) 1 G ins [ap]b = Zλ p (G ab ) 1 G bp G ba p a. case a = b = 0 and Z = 1 treated. Use G 1 ab = H ab Γ ab and Tab L = Z 2 λ q G aq gives for 2 point function: Z 2 λ q G aq Zλ p (G ab ) 1 G bp G ba p a = H ab G 1 ab. Symmetry Γ ab = Γ ba is not manifest!

11 Renormalize express SD equation in terms of the 1PI function Γ ab perform renormalisation for the 1PI part Γ ab = Z 2 λ p ( 1 H bp Γ bp + 1 H ap Γ ap 1 (Γ bp Γ ab ) ). H bp Γ bp Z( p a ) Taylor expand: Γ ren is derivative in a 1, a 2, b 1, b 2. Implies Γ ab = Zµ 2 bare µ2 ren + (Z 1)( a + b ) + Γren ab, Γ ren 00 = 0 ( Γren ) 00 = 0,... the resulting equation is G 1 ab = a + b + µ2 ren Γren ab. (Z 1)( a + b ) + Γ ren ab Z 2 + Z p + µ 2 Γren 0p = Λ 0 ( Z p d p b + p + µ 2 Γ ren + bp Z b + p + µ 2 Γ ren bp Γ ren bp Γren ab ( p a ) + Z 2 a + p + µ 2 Γ ren ap Z p + µ 2 Γ ren 0p Γ ren ) 0p, p

12 change variables,... a =: µ 2 α 1 α, b =: β µ2 1 β, p =: ρ µ2 1 ρ, p d p = ρ dρ µ4 (1 ρ) 3 Γ ab =: µ 2 Γ αβ (1 α)(1 β), Λ =: ξ µ2 1 ξ...get expression for ren.constant,..take cutoff limit: Theorem The renormalised planar two-point function G αβ of self-dual noncommutative φ 4 4-theory (with continuous indices) satisfies the integral equation ( 1 α ( G αβ = 1 + λ Mβ L β βy ) + 1 β ( Mα L α αy ) 1 αβ 1 αβ + 1 β ( Gαβ ) (Mα ) α(1 β) ( ) 1 L α + αn α0 Lβ + N αβ N α0 1 αβ G 0α 1 αβ ) (1 α)(1 β) + (G αβ 1)Y, 1 αβ

13 expansion Integral equation for Γ ab is non-perturbatively defined. Resisted an exact treatment. We look for an iterative solution G αβ = n=0 λn G (n) αβ. This involves iterated integrals labelled by rooted trees. Up to O(λ 3 ) we need 1 α I α := dx = ln(1 α), 0 1 αx 1 α I x I α := dx 0 1 αx = Li 2(α) + 1 ( ) 2 ln(1 α) 2 1 α Ix Ix ( I α = dx 0 1 αx = 2 Li 3 α ) 1 α 1 α I x ( I α = dx 0 1 αx = 2Li 3 α ) 2Li 3 (α) ln(1 α)ζ(2) 1 α + ln(1 α)li 2 (α) ( ln(1 α) ) 3

15 Observations Polylogarithms and multiple zeta values appear in singular part of individual graphs of e.g. φ 4 -theory (Broadhurst-Kreimer) We encounter them for regular part of all graphs together Conjecture G αβ takes values in a polynom ring with generators A, B, α, β, {I t }, where t is a rooted tree with root label α or β at order n the degree of A, B is n, the degree of α, β is n, the number of vertices in the forest is n. If true: There are n! forests of rooted trees with n vertices at order n estimate: G (n) αβ n!(c αβ) n may lead to Borel summability?.

16 Schwinger-Dyson equ 4 pt fct Follow a-face, there is a vertex at which ab-line starts: 1 First graph: Index c and a are opposite It equals Z 2 λg ab G bc G ins [ac]d 2 Second graph: Summation index p and a are opposite. We open the p-face to get an insertion. This is not into full connected four-point function, which would contain an ab-line not present in the graph.

17 second graph equals ( ) = Z 2 λ G ab G[ap]bcd ins Gins [ap]b G abcd 1PI four-point function Γ ren abcd = Zλ { G 1 p ad G 1 cd a c + p G ( pb Gdp )} Γ ren pbcd a p G Γren abcd ad

18 Theorem The renormalised planar 1PI four-point function Γ αβγδ of self-dual noncommutative φ 4 4-theory satisfies Γ αβγδ = λ (1 (1 α)(1 γδ)(g αδ G γδ ) 1 + ρ dρ (1 β)(1 αδ)g βρg δρ Γ ρβγδ Γ ) αβγδ G γδ (1 δ)(α γ) 0 (1 βρ)(1 δρ) ρ α ( 1 G αδ +λ (M β L β Y)G αδ + dρ G αδg βρ (1 β) 1 0 (1 δρ)(1 βρ) + ρ dρ (1 β)(1 αδ)g βρ (G ρδ G αδ ) ) 0 (1 βρ)(1 δρ) (ρ α) Corollary Γ αβγδ = 0 is not a solution! We have a non-trivial (interacting) QFT in four dimensions!

19 Conclusions Studied model at Ω = 1 RG flows save Used Ward identity and Schwinger-Dyson equation ren. 2 point fct fulfills nonlinear integral equ ren. 4 pt fct linear inhom. integral equ perturbative solution: Γ αβγδ = λ λ 2( (1 γ)(i α α) (1 α)(i γ γ) α γ + (1 δ)(i β β) (1 β)(i δ δ) β δ ) + O(λ 3 ) is nontrivial and cyclic in the four indices nontrivial Φ 4 model?
