-The Bogoliubov-Parasiuk-Hepp-Zimmermann (BPHZ) renormalization scheme is an conceptually extremely interesting way to get rid of the infinities that arise in [[quantum_theory:​quantum_field_theory]]. In contrast to other popular scheme, the BPHZ method to get rid of infinites involves no UV cutoff. This is interesting,​ for example if one considers the famous hierarchy problem. Usually it is argued that a small mass for the Higgs particle is unnatural, because it gets loop corrections that are proportional to the cutoff squaredFor a large cutoff scale like, for example, the Planck scale, one would therefore suspect a large Higgs mass, unless these corrections somehow cancel with the bare Higgs mass parameter. In the BPHZ scheme there is no cutoff and therefore no fine-tuning problem:+The Bogoliubov-Parasiuk-Hepp-Zimmermann (BPHZ) renormalization scheme is an conceptually extremely interesting way to get rid of the infinities that arise in [[theories:​quantum_field_theory:canonical]].
