We consider the most general loop integral that appears in non-relativistic effective field theories with no light particles. The divergences of this integral are in correspondence with simple poles in the space of complex space-time dimensions. Integrals related to the original integral by subtraction of one or more poles in dimensions other than D=4 lead to nonminimal subtraction schemes. Subtraction of all poles in correspondence with ultraviolet divergences of the loop integral leads naturally to a regularization scheme which is precisely equivalent to cutoff regularization. We therefore recover cutoff regularization from dimensional regularization with a nonminimal subtraction scheme. We then discuss the power-counting for non-relativistic effective field theories which arises in these alternative schemes.

  1. Rethinking Dimensional Regularization in Critical Phenomena

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A new Functional Dimensional Regularization scheme computes Ising critical exponents directly in d=3 with apparently better convergence than standard functional RG approximations.

  2. Functional Dimensional Regularization for O(N) Models

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Functional dimensional regularization applied to the O(N) universality class yields critical exponents comparable to advanced non-perturbative methods while retaining efficiency and rapid convergence.
