Description
We study various aspects of the renormalization of the Resonance Chiral Theory at the one-loop level using a spin-one resonance propagator as a concrete example. We calculate explicitly the one-loop self-energy within the antisymmetric tensor field formalism, briefly discuss the general structure of the corresponding propagator obtained by means of the Dyson re-summation and give a classification of the propagating degrees of freedom. We find that additional pathological poles (negative norm ghosts or tachyons) are unavoidably generated and various scenarios according to their position are possible. We also briefly comment on the eventual dynamical generation of the opposite parity resonances which are frozen at the tree level and discuss the role of appropriate symmetry which could prevent such a scenario.
