Extended scalar field theories to include gauge interactions with improved high-energy properties.
Demonstrated the feasibility of constructing consistent quantum gauge theories with infinite degrees of freedom.
Abstract
In previous works, we constructed UV-finite and unitary scalar field theories with an infinite spectrum of propagating modes for arbitrary polynomial interactions. In this paper, we introduce infinitely many massive vector fields into a U(1) gauge theory to construct a theory with UV-finiteness and unitarity.
