Abstract
Within finite temperature field theory, we show that truncated non-perturbative self-consistent Dyson resummation schemes can be renormalized with local vacuum counterterms. For this the theory has to be renormalizable in the usual sense and the self-consistent scheme must follow Baym’s �-derivable concept. Our BPHZ-renormalization scheme leads to renormalized self-consistent equations of motion. At the same time the corresponding 2PI-generating functional and the thermodynamic potential can be renormalized with the same counterterms used for the equations of motion. This guarantees the standard �-derivable properties like thermodynamic consistency and exact conservation laws also for the renormalized approximation schemes. We give also a short overview over symmetry properties of the various functions defined within the 2PI scheme for the case that the underlying classical field theory has a global linearly realized symmetry.
