Renormalizationlike
Renormalizationlike is a term used in theoretical physics to describe techniques or concepts that share similarities with the formal process of renormalization, but are not strictly identical to it. Renormalization itself is a systematic procedure used to handle infinities that arise in quantum field theories, particularly when calculating physical quantities. It involves absorbing these infinities into a redefinition of fundamental parameters, such as mass and charge, which are then fixed by experimental observation.
Renormalizationlike methods might appear in contexts where divergences are encountered, but the underlying theory or the
