Slavnov--Taylor Identities in Spontaneously Broken Non-Abelian Effective Gauge Theories

Informatics and Automation, Modern problems of mathematical and theoretical physics, Tome 309 (2020), pp. 257-268.

Résumé

We study the solution to the Slavnov–Taylor identities in spontaneously broken effective gauge theories for a non-Abelian gauge group. The procedure to extract the $\beta $-functions of the theory in the presence of (generalized) non-polynomial field redefinitions is elucidated.
