Renormalization: The observable-state model

The usual mathematical formalism of quantum field theory is not rigorous because it contains divergences that can only be renormalized by nonrigorous mathematical methods. So we present a method of subtraction of divergences using the formalism of decoherence. This is achieved by replacing the stand...
