It is commonly asserted that the electromagnetic current is conserved and therefore is not renormalized. Within QED we show (a) that this statement is false, (b) how to obtain the renormalization of the current to all orders of perturbation theory, and (c) how to correctly define an electron number operator. The current mixes with the four-divergence of the electromagnetic field-strength tensor. The true electron number operator is the integral of the time component of the electron number density, but only when the current differs from the MSbar-renormalized current by a definite finite renormalization. This happens in such a way that Gausss law holds: the charge operator is the surface integral of the electric field at infinity. The theorem extends naturally to any gauge theory.

We are calculated the expectation value of the axial-vector current induced by the vacuum polarization effect of the Dirac field in constant external electromagnetic field. In calculations we use Schwingers proper time method. The effective Lagrangia n has very simple Lorenz invariant form. Along with the anomaly term, it also contains two Lorenz invariant terms. The result is compared with our previous calculation of the photon - Z boson mixing in the magnetic field.
This paper presents divergent contributions of the radiative corrections for a Lorentz-violating extension of the scalar electrodynamics. We initially discuss some features of the model and extract the Feynman rules. Then we compute the one-loop radi ative corrections using Feynman parametrization and dimensional regularization in order to evaluate the integrals. We also discuss Furrys theorem validity and renormalization in the present context.

We calculate the two loop correction to the quark 2-point function with the non-zero momentum insertion of the flavour singlet axial vector current at the fully symmetric subtraction point for massless quarks in the modified minimal subtraction (MSba r) scheme. The Larin method is used to handle $gamma^5$ within dimensional regularization at this loop order ensuring that the effect of the chiral anomaly is properly included within the construction.
We present analytical results for the Euclidean 2-point correlator of the flavor-singlet vector current evolved by the gradient flow at next-to-leading order ($O(g^2)$) in perturbatively massless QCD-like theories. We show that the evolved 2-point co rrelator requires multiplicative renormalization, in contrast to the nonevolved case, and confirm, in agreement with other results in the literature, that such renormalization ought to be identified with a universal renormalization of the evolved elementary fermion field in all evolved fermion-bilinear currents, whereas the gauge coupling renormalizes as usual. We explicitly derive the asymptotic solution of the Callan-Symanzik equation for the connected 2-point correlators of these evolved currents in the limit of small gradient-flow time $sqrt{t}$, at fixed separation $|x-y|$. Incidentally, this computation determines the leading coefficient of the operator-product expansion (OPE) in the small $t$ limit for the evolved currents in terms of their local nonevolved counterpart. Our computation also implies that, in the evolved case, conservation of the vector current, hence transversality of the corresponding 2-point correlator, is no longer related to the nonrenormalization, in contrast to the nonevolved case. Indeed, for small flow time the evolved vector current is conserved up to $O(t)$ softly violating effects, despite its $t$-dependent nonvanishing anomalous dimension.

Modified similarity renormalization of Hamiltonians is proposed, that performes by means of flow equations the similarity transformation of Hamiltonian in the particle number space. This enables to renormalize in the energy space the field theoretica l Hamiltonian and makes possible to work in a severe trancated Fock space for the renormalized Hamiltonian.
