Mulitgraded Dyson-Schwinger systems

Abstract

We study systems of combinatorial Dyson-Schwinger equations with an arbitrary number $N$ of coupling constants. The considered Hopf algebra of Feynman graphs is $\mathbb{N}^N$-graded, and we wonder if the graded subalgebra generated by the solution is Hopf or not. We first introduce a family of pre-Lie algebras which we classify, dually providing systems generating a Hopf subalgebra, we also describe the associated groups, as extensions of groups of formal diffeomorphisms on several variables. We then consider systems coming from Feynman graphs of a Quantum Field Theory. We show that if the number $N$ of independent coupling constants is the number of interactions of the considered QFT, then the generated subalgebra is Hopf. For QED, $\varphi^3$ and QCD, we also prove that this is the minimal value of $N$. All these examples are generalizations of the first family of Dyson-Schwinger systems in the one coupling constant case, called fundamental.We also give a generalization of the second family, called cyclic.
