Abstract

The interaction of a particle with a boson field is considered. The matrix elements of the cut-off Green function are expressed in terms of a discrete time Poisson process and shown to converge to a finite limit, under some stringent conditions on the boson field. A renormalization process is set up to extend the result to more physical situations.
