The unitarity of the regularized $S$ matrix written as a Wick time-ordered exponential is
proved; the proof also applies when derivatives are present in the interaction. The combinatorial
part of the proof is carried out in the language of functional integration. First,
formal unitarity is proved for the nonregularized $S$ matrix and then a regularization of the
Pauli–Villars type is introduced (with this regularization the Wick and the Dyson chronological
products of operators are identical [1]), and the unitarity of the regularized $S$ matrix
is proved in each perturbation order.
