We show that factorizable topologies do not contribute to the renormalization group equations. The results will be combined with the geometric method in a subsequent paper to obtain the renormalization group equations for the scalar sector of effective field theories (EFT) to two-loop order.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-08-11T18:00:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "scalar quantum field theory", "algebraic formula", "renormalization group equations", "hoofts one-loop result", "two-loop renormalization counterterms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
