[5] The convergence of the finite part (II.22) will be proved in a paper by M. Gomes, J. H. Lowenstein and W. Zimmermann, in preparation.

[6] It is assumed there that the number of mass parameters is not larger than the number of free parameters of the Lagrangian. For a discussion of this point see Chapter III, page 26

[7] In the models studied in Chapter IV one of the parameters ${\lambda }_{j}$ is not determined by renormalization conditions, but directly given as constant or power series in ${g}_{j}$. It can be shown for the cases considered that the Green's functions do not depend on the value of this parameter

[8] In unrenormalized form the action principle of quantum field theory is due to J. Schwinger, Phys. Rev. 91, 713 (1953).

Using Caianiello's renormalization method related formulae were derived in E. Caianiello, M. Marinaro, Nuovo Cimento 27, 1185 (1963) | Zbl 0112.45605

F. Guerra, M. Marinaro, Nuovo Cimento 42A, 306 (1966). The form (IV.24) is proved in ref. [2], it is also valid in the presence of anomalies.

[4] The formal "improved" energy momentum tensor was defined in : Cg. Callan, S. Coleman, R. Jackiv, Ann. Phys. 59, 42 (1970). | MR 261922 | Zbl 1092.83502

The present finite version is due to M. Bergere (private communication). The asymmetry identity was first found by A. Rouet, unpublished, and A. Rouet, R. Stora [2].

The general form of ${\Theta }_{\mu \nu }$ compatible with Ward identities was first given by K. Symanzik and K. Wilson, private communications (1970) and is now best described in terms of normal products, as done here.

[5] That the trace of the energy momentum tensor becomes soft at the GellMann Low value of the coupling constant, is shown in : B. Schroer, Lett. Nuov. Cim. 2, 867 (1971).

[8] By appropriate choice of $𝒲$ one of the coefficients can be made to vanish in zero order, but not both.

[11] The values given are the masses in zero order. Only for stable particles may the zero order values be identified with the exact masses by suitable normalization conditions.

[2] Ch. III, Refs. [1] and [8]. The determination of an ${L}_{4}$ Lagrangian such that Ward identities hold, performed in Ref. [7] of Ch. III requires one more constraint than is allowed by the number of parameters at disposal. That constraint, a relation between some $r$ coefficients, can be shown to be automatically fulfilled by an argument concerning the high momentum behaviour of vertex functions. This argument is due to O. Piguet and similar to one used by him in the construction of an ${L}_{4}$ Lagrangian for the Higgs Kibble model with massive photons of Chapter IV. (O. Piguet, private communication).

[4] We wish to thank B.W. Lee for a discussion on this point.

[5] This way of obtaining the Slavnov identities can be found in : L. Quaranta, A. Rouet, R. Stora, E. Tirapegui "Spontaneously broken gauge invariance : Ward identities, Slavnov identities, gauge invariance", in "Renormalization of Yang Mills Fields and Applications to Particle Physics", CNRS Marseille, June 19-23 (1972), where however the treatment of renormalization formal due to the a priori possible occurence of infrared difficulties which does not happen in the treatment given in this chapter. Concerning the renormalization of gauge field theories see G.'t Hooft and B.W. Lee's Lectures, in this volume, where the original work by G.'t Hooft, B.W. Lee, M. Veltman, J. Zinn-Justin, is reported.

[6] Such a normalization condition was used in a version of the renormalization of the Higgs Kibble model in Stueckelberg's gauge, by J. H. Löwenstein, M. Weinstein, W. Zimmermann.
