Renormalized Perturbation Theory And Its Optimization By The Principle Of Minimal Sensitivity / / P. M. Stevenson.

The results of renormalized perturbation theory, in QCD and other quantum field theories, are ambiguous at any finite order, due to renormalization-scheme dependence. The perturbative results depend upon extraneous scheme variables, including the renormalization scale, that the exact result cannot d...
