Description

We review and generalise renormalisation methods in QFT in which no intermediate divergences show up. Moreover, in two-field models with a large mass hierarchy between the fields, the usual fine-tunings proportional to the large mass are absent. Therefore, in this formulation of perturbative QFT there is no naturalness problem at all: there is no influence from the "heavy" sector on the dynamics of the "light" sector. This strengthens the intuition that there is no physical meaning in the concept of naturalness.
