This paper traces the origin of renormalization group concepts back to two strands of 1950s high energy physics: the causal perturbation theory programme, which gave rise to the Stueckelberg-Petermann renormalization group, and the debate about the consistency of quantum electrodynamics, which gave rise to the Gell-Mann-Low renormalization group. Recognising the different motivations that shaped these early approaches sheds light on the formal and interpretive diversity we find in contemporary renormalization group methods.

重整化群概念的双重起源

本文将重整化群概念的起源追溯到 1950 年代高能物理学的两个分支:引起 Stueckelberg-Petermann 重整化群的因果微扰理论程序,以及引发量子电动力学一致性的争论。 Gell-Mann-Low 重整化群。认识到形成这些早期方法的不同动机,可以阐明我们在当代重整化组方法中发现的形式和解释多样性。
