Possible Situation for Gauge Independence of Wave-Function Renormalization Constants in Gauge-Field Theories

摘要

Possibility of gauge independence of wave-function renormalization constants is studied on the basis of gauge-field theories with gauge covariance. By use of the expression for the double-pole type propagator D tilde sub( f)(x), exploited by Zwanziger, it is asserted that D tilde sub( f)(0) can be consistently taken zero. As a consequence, all renormalization constants become gauge independent, contrary to the conventional understanding. (Atomindex citation 11:495363)
