The perturbative β-function is known exactly in a number of supersymmetric theories and in the ‘t Hooft renormalization scheme in the [Formula: see text] model. It is shown how this allows one to compute the effective action exactly for certain background field configurations and to relate bare and renormalized couplings. The relationship between the minimal subtraction scheme and the supersymmetry subtraction scheme in N = 1 super Yang–Mills theory is discussed.PACS No.: 11.10Z

We extend the Curci-Paffuti relation of bosonic sigma models to the supersymmetric case. In the N=1 model, a similar relation is found, while in the N=2 model, a vanishing result ensues for the dilaton β-function. One contribution to the dilaton β-function in the N=2 model is identified as a previous result of Grisaru and Zanon; however, if we remain within a minimal subtraction scheme, other terms coming from finite subtractions appear which precisely cancel that and give a vanishing result. This is in agreement with a recent result of Jack and Jones.

Two classes of renormalizable 1/N expandable two-dimensional models are analyzed to O(1/N) and the asymptotic behavior of the renormalized two-point functions is nonperturbatively evaluated. These results are taken as a benchmark to study the applicability of dimensional regularization and perturbative minimal subtraction renormalization to the context of the 1/N expansion. Perturbation theory is applied to O(1/N) diagrams to all orders in the weak coupling constant and, after resummation, the same finite renormalization group invariant asymptotic amplitudes are obtained. As a byproduct, the O(1/N) contributions to renormalization group Z functions in the minimal subtraction scheme are extracted and the critical index η is evaluated and compared to previous nonperturbative results, finding complete agreement. The appendix is devoted to the extension of these results to a supersymmetric version of the models.

We compute the gluonic contributions to the spin-dependent weak structure functions [Formula: see text](i=1, 3, 4), using the factorization theorem in the minimal subtraction scheme, [Formula: see text]. We have considered the most general case where the quark flavor masses are distinguished and the gluons are off mass shell. The gluonic contribution to the first moment of [Formula: see text] is found to vanish and [Formula: see text] do not receive leading order gluonic contribution. These results are shown to be free of mass singularities.
