Description
The consistent recursive subtraction of UV divergences order by order in the loop expansion for spontaneously broken effective gauge theories with higher dimension derivative operators is presented. The Slavnov-Taylor identity is solved to all orders in the loop expansion by homotopy techniques and a suitable choice of invariant field coordinates (named bleached variables) for the linearly realized gauge group. This allows one to disentangle the gauge-invariant contributions to off-shell 1-PI amplitudes from those associated with the gauge-fixing and (generalized) non-polynomial field redefinitions (that do appear already at one loop). Explicit examples for dimension-6 operators are presented.
