We analyze, by rigorous renormalization group methods, a Fermi model for weak forces with a single family of leptons, one massless and the other with mass m=Me−β, with M the gauge boson mass, a quartic nonlocal interaction with coupling λ2, and a momentum cutoff Λ. The magnetic moment is written as a series in λ2, with n-th coefficients bounded by Cn(m2M2)β2n(Λ2M2)(1+0+)(n−1) if C is a constant; this implies convergence and provides nonperturbative bounds on the higher order contributions. The fact that the magnetic moment is associated with a dimensionally irrelevant quantity requires the implementation of cancellations in the multiscale analysis.
