Abstract

The existence of the invariant measure in nonlocal regularized actions is discussed. It is shown that the measure for nonlocally regularized QED, as presented inMoff-Wood, exists to all orders, and is precisely what is required to maintain gauge invariance at one loop and guarantees perturbative unitarity. We also demonstrate how the given procedure breaks down in anomalous theories, and discuss its generalization to other actions.
