| Summary: | <p>A method of analytic renormalisation is developed (in PART I of the thesis) to define the three point time ordered product of massless fields of exponential type as a strictly localisable distribution in the Jaffe Class. The uniqueness property, known for the two point T-product, is verified for the three point T-product for a special choice of finite renormalisation. It is characterised by minimum singularity on the 'light cone' (the Lehraann-Pohlmeyer 'ansatz'); there are no delta function type singularities concentrated on the point x<sub>1</sub> = x<sub>2</sub> = x<sub>3</sub>.</p> <p>A model of a massive neutral pseudovector field, W<sub>andmu;</sub>, coupled to a non-conserved fermion current, j<sub>andmu;</sub> = <span style="text-decoration: overline">andpsi;</span>andgamma;<sub>andmu;</sub>andgamma;<sub>5</sub>andpsi;, is considered (in PART II of the thesis). The generalised Stuckelberg formalism is used to convert the above non-renormalisable coupling into a conventionally renormalisable interaction, and#x2112;<sub>1</sub><sup>int</sup> = gandnbsp;: j<sub>andmu;</sub>A<sub>andmu;</sub>andnbsp;:andnbsp;, together with a non-polynomial strictly localisable interaction of the form and#x2112;<sub>2</sub><sup>int</sup> = andminus;m <span style="text-decoration: overline">andpsi;</span>andnbsp;: (exp[iandkappa;andgamma;<sub>5</sub>B] andminus; 1)andnbsp;: andpsi; which can be treated by the methods developed in PART I of this thesis; (A<sub>andmu;</sub>, B) are the Stuckelberg components of the W<sub>andmu;</sub> field, and the B is taken to be a massless pseudoscalar field giving, thus, rise to massless 'superpropagators'. The renormalisation of the model theory is effected with the help of generalised Ward-Takahashi identities by adding suitable gauge invariant counterterms in the original interaction Lagrangian to cancel out the infinities of the theory. Thus the complete theory becomes renormalisable.</p>
