Quantum Field Theory without Infinite Renormalization
  Although Quantum field theory has been very successful in explaining experiment, there are two aspects of the theory that remain quite troubling. One is the no-interaction result proved in Haag's theorem. The other is the existence of infinite perturbation expansion terms that need to be absorbed into theoretically unknown but experimentally measurable quantities like charge and mass -- i.e. renormalization. Here it will be shown that the two problems may be related. A "natural" method of eliminating the renormalization problem also sidesteps Haag's theorem automatically. Existing renormalization schemes can at best be considered a temporary fix as perturbation theory assumes expansion terms to be "small" -- and infinite terms are definitely not so (even if they are renormalized away). String theories may be expected to help the situation because the infinities can be traced to the point-nature of particles. However, string theories have their own problems arising from the extra space dimensions required. Here a more directly physical remedy is suggested. Particles are modeled as extended objects (like strings). But, unlike strings, they are composites of a finite number of constituents each of which resides in the normal 4-dimensional space-time. The constituents are bound together by a manifestly covariant confining potential. This approach no longer requires infinite renormalizations. At the same time it sidesteps the no-interaction result proved in Haag's theorem.
