1.1. Rota–Baxter algebras: from integrability to perturbative renormalization
• A ${\mathbb{K}}$-linear map N: A → A on a unital ${\mathbb{K}}$-algebra A is called Nijenhuis operator if
• Given Rota–Baxter algebra (A, R) with the idempotent map R, and $\lambda \in {\mathbb{K}}$, the map $N_{\lambda}:=R-\lambda \tilde{R}$ with $\tilde{R}=\mathrm{Id}_{A}-R$ is a Nijenhuis operator on A.
• Nijenhuis and Rota–Baxter operators are the main sources of generating hierarchies of deformed (Lie) algebras [14–16].

1. For Γ ∈ HFG(Φ) with ∣Γ∣ = n which has no overlapping loops, its rooted tree representation tΓ has n vertices such that each vertex vi ∈ tΓ is decorated by a primitive (1PI) Feynman subdiagram γi of Γ [28, 29]. Let αi > 0 be the weight of the vertex vi such as αi = 1/n for each 1 ≤ i ≤ n in a toy model. Define a partition σ ≔ {I1, …, In} of [0, 1] such that for each 1 ≤ i ≤ n, ${\rm{m}}({I}_{i})=\frac{{\alpha }_{i}}{{\sum }_{i=1}^{n}{\alpha }_{i}}$ and ${I}_{k}\cap {I}_{l}={\rm{\varnothing }}$ for k ≠ l. The boxes ${\{{I}_{i}\times {I}_{j}\}}_{1\,\leqslant \,i,j\,\leqslant \,n}$ determine a pixel picture presentation ${P}_{{\rm{\Gamma }}}^{\sigma }$ given by $(x,y)\in {I}_{k}\times {I}_{l}\mapsto {a}_{kl}\in {{\rm{Ad}}}_{{t}_{{\rm{\Gamma }}}}$ such that ${{\rm{Ad}}}_{{t}_{{\rm{\Gamma }}}}$ is the adjacency matrix of tΓ. The box Ik × Il is colored by black if there exists an edge between vk and vl in tΓ, otherwise it is colored by white. The equivalence class

The domain of any Feynman graphon model which contributes to divergent perturbative series such as the one given in figure 2 is stretched to associate non-trivial Feynman graph limit (i.e. large Feynman diagram).

Let DSE be a combinatorial Dyson–Schwinger equation such that ${\{{Y}_{m}\}}_{m\geqslant 1}$ be the sequence of partial sums of its solution X with ${Y}_{m}={\sum }_{k=1}^{m}{c}^{k}{X}_{k}$. The solution X, as a large Feynman graph generated by a sequence of stretched Feynman graphons, is presented by a process of random graphs [31, 43, 45].
The stretched Feynman graphon ${W}_{{Y}_{m}}\in {{ \mathcal S }}_{\approx }^{{\rm{\Phi }},{\rm{\Omega }}}$ corresponding to Ym is a direct sum of stretched Feynman graphons ${W}_{{X}_{k}}$, 1 ≤ k ≤ m of weights m(Ck) = ck such that for k ≠ l, ${C}_{k}\cap {C}_{l}={\rm{\varnothing }}$ and ${\cup }_{k=1}^{m}{C}_{k}\subseteq {\rm{\Omega }}$. Thanks to lemma
For each m, let Rm be a random graph built by uniformly choosing m points a1, …, am from ${\cup }_{k=1}^{m}{C}_{k}$ such that $\frac{1}{| | {W}_{{Y}_{m}}| {| }_{1}}{W}_{{Y}_{m}}$ determines the probability value for the existence of an edge between ai and aj in Rm. The sequence ${\{{R}_{m}\}}_{m\geqslant 1}$, which converges to an infinite random graph R∞ defined on ${\cup }_{k=1}^{\infty }{C}_{k}$, provides a process of random graphs for the description of the large Feynman diagram X. ☐

2. Renormalization of Feynman graph limits
There exists a graded commutative non-cocommutative Hopf algebra structure on ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{gr}}}({\rm{\Phi }})$, topologically completed by (
The renormalization coproduct (
Thanks to Milnor–Moore theorem [21], the graded dual of ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{gr}}}^{{\rm{cut}}}({\rm{\Phi }})$ is the complex infinite dimensional Lie group ${{\mathbb{G}}}_{{\rm{\Phi }},{\rm{gr}}}({A}_{{\rm{dr}}})={\rm{Hom}}({{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{gr}}}^{{\rm{cut}}}({\rm{\Phi }}),{A}_{{\rm{dr}}})$. Suppose Δ* is the infinitesimal punctured disk around z = 0 in the complex plane which restores the regularization parameter. The space of loops ${{\boldsymbol{\Delta }}}^{* }\to {{\mathbb{G}}}_{{\rm{\Phi }},{\rm{gr}}}({A}_{{\rm{dr}}})$, $z\mapsto {\tilde{\phi }}^{z}$ determines regularized unrenormalized Feynman rules characters on the space of stretched Feynman graphons such that
• There exists an injective homomorphism of Hopf algebras Γ ↦ WΓ from ${H}_{{\rm{FG}}}^{{\rm{cut}}}({\rm{\Phi }})$ to ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{gr}}}^{{\rm{cut}}}({\rm{\Phi }})$.
• Each 1PI Green’s function Gr given by (
• The collection $\{{W}_{{G}_{\leqslant m}^{r}}\in {{ \mathcal S }}_{\approx }^{{\rm{\Phi }},{\rm{\Omega }}}\,:\,r\in {{ \mathcal A }}_{{\rm{\Phi }}},\,m\geqslant 1\}$ recovers a basis for the vector space structure of ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{gr}}}^{{\rm{cut}}}({\rm{\Phi }})$.
Let ${{ \mathcal W }}_{\approx }^{{\rm{\Omega }},{\rm{FGrp}}}\subset {{ \mathcal W }}_{\approx }^{{\rm{\Omega }}}$ be the complete Hausdorff topological subspace of those stretched graphons corresponding to finite graphs without self-loops and graph limits of their sequences with respect to the cut-distance topology. There exists a topological core Hopf algebra structure generated by ${{ \mathcal W }}_{\approx }^{{\rm{\Omega }},{\rm{FGrp}}}$ which recovers the renormalization of Feynman graph limits of physical theories.
Let ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{FGrp}},{\rm{gr}}}$ be the free commutative algebra generated by stretched graphons in ${{ \mathcal W }}_{\approx }^{{\rm{\Omega }},{\rm{FGrp}}}$. For each n≥1, ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{FGrp}},{\rm{gr}}}^{(n)}$ is the ${\mathbb{K}}$-vector space generated by WG with ∣G∣ = n such that ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{FGrp}},{\rm{gr}}}^{(0)}={\mathbb{K}}\lt {W}_{{\mathbb{I}}}\gt ={\mathbb{K}}$. For ${W}_{{G}_{1}}\in {{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{FGrp}},{\rm{gr}}}^{({n}_{1})}$ and ${W}_{{G}_{2}}\in {{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{FGrp}},{\rm{gr}}}^{({n}_{2})}$, if G1 and G2 are weakly isomorphic, then n1 =n2. For the cases $G\in {{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{FGrp}},{\rm{gr}}}^{(0)}$ or $G\in {{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{FGrp}},{\rm{gr}}}^{(1)}$, WG = 0 almost everywhere which means that ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{FGrp}},{\rm{gr}}}^{(0)}\,={{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{FGrp}},{\rm{gr}}}^{(1)}={\mathbb{K}}$. The core coproduct (
Apply (
On the one hand, the renormalization Hopf algebra is a quotient of the core Hopf algebra [50]. On the other hand, given a gauge field theory Φ, the renormalization Hopf algebra HFG(Φ) is embedded in a decorated version of the Connes–Kreimer Hopf algebra of non-planar rooted trees HCK(Φ) [28]. Non-planar rooted trees are simple finite graphs without self-loops. Therefore there exists an injective homomorphism of Hopf algebras t ↦ Wt from HCK(Φ) to ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{FGrp}},{\rm{gr}}}$. The combination of these facts together with lemma
3. Poisson brackets of quantum integrability

The Rota–Baxter algebra ${{\rm{RB}}}_{{\rm{core}},{\rm{gr}}}$ recovers symplectic geometry models for the spaces of Feynman graph limits (such as solutions of quantum motions) in gauge field theories.
We apply theorems
For $\lambda \in {\mathbb{K}}$, the Nijenhuis map ${{ \mathcal R }}_{\lambda }:= { \mathcal R }-\lambda \hat{{ \mathcal R }}$, with $\hat{{ \mathcal R }}:= {\rm{Id}}-{ \mathcal R }$, determines a new product ∘λ given by
Define Derλ as the set of all linear maps ${C}_{\lambda ,{\rm{gr}},{\rm{core}}}\to {C}_{\lambda ,{\rm{gr}},{\rm{core}}}$ which satisfy the Leibniz rule, called derivations. Set Hamλ ⊂ Derλ as the $Z({C}_{\lambda ,{\rm{gr}},{\rm{core}}})$-module generated by all Hamiltonian derivations ham(φ), $\phi \in {C}_{\lambda ,{\rm{gr}},{\rm{core}}}$. The differential graded algebra on ${C}_{\lambda ,{\rm{gr}},{\rm{core}}}$ is defined by
For $\lambda \in {\mathbb{K}}$, the pair $({C}_{\lambda ,{\rm{gr}},{\rm{core}}},{\omega }_{\lambda })$ is a symplectic geometry model for ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{FGrp}},{\rm{rg}}}^{{\rm{cut}}}$ which can be lifted onto $((L({{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{gr}}}^{{\rm{cut}}}({\rm{\Phi }}),{A}_{{\rm{dr}}}),{* }_{{\rm{ren}},{\rm{gr}}}),{\omega }_{\lambda })$ as a symplectic model for ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{gr}}}^{{\rm{cut}}}({\rm{\Phi }})$ where solutions of quantum motions are represented by stretched Feynman graphons in ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{gr}}}^{{\rm{cut}}}({\rm{\Phi }})$. ☐
For the Rota–Baxter algebra RBgr,Φ and $\lambda \in {\mathbb{K}}$, the Rota–Baxter map ${{ \mathcal R }}_{\lambda }$ as the solution of the Yang–Baxter equation
It is a result of [11] and theorem
For the commutative algebra ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{FGrp}},{\rm{gr}}}$ defined in theorem
The operator ${B}_{{W}_{{\mathbb{I}}}}^{+}$ can be lifted onto the unital noncommutative associative algebra $(L({{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{gr}}}^{{\rm{cut}}}({\rm{\Phi }}),\overline{T}({{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{FGrp}},{\rm{gr}}})),{* }_{{\rm{ren}},{\rm{gr}}})$ to determine the Nijenhuis map ${{ \mathcal N }}_{{\rm{\Phi }}}(\psi ):= {B}_{{W}_{{\mathbb{I}}}}^{+}\circ \psi $. It defines a new noncommutative associative product ∘u given by
The pair (Cu,gr,Φ, ωu) is a symplectic geometry model for ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{gr}}}^{{\rm{cut}}}({\rm{\Phi }})$ where solutions of quantum motions are represented by stretched Feynman graphons in ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{gr}}}^{{\rm{cut}}}({\rm{\Phi }})$. ☐
For the universal Nijenhuis algebra $(\overline{T}({{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{FGrp}},{\rm{gr}}}), \circleddash ,{B}_{{W}_{{\mathbb{I}}}}^{+})$, the Nijenhuis operator ${{ \mathcal N }}_{{\rm{\Phi }}}$ as the solution of the Yang–Baxter equation
The Connes–Kreimer Renormalization Group associated to the topological Hopf algebra of renormalization ${{ \mathcal H }}_{{\rm{gr}}}^{{\rm{cut}}}({\rm{\Phi }})$ is an infinite dimensional quantum integrable system which encodes the evolution of Feynman graph limits in a gauge field theory Φ.
Consider an infinitesimal punctured disk Δ⋆ around z = 0 in the complex plane with the boundary C = ∂Δ⋆, a loop $\alpha :C\to {{\mathbb{G}}}_{{\rm{\Phi }},{\rm{gr}}}({A}_{{\rm{dr}}})$ and a one-parameter group ${\{{\theta }_{t}\}}_{t\in {\mathbb{C}}}$ of automorphisms on ${{\mathbb{G}}}_{{\rm{\Phi }},{\rm{gr}}}({A}_{{\rm{dr}}})$ given by
Following [21], let ${\{{F}_{t}\}}_{t\in {\mathbb{C}}}$ be the Renormalization Group given by
We apply theorem
A given combinatorial Dyson–Schwinger equation DSE with the unique solution X = ∑n≥0cnXn and the sequence ${\{{Y}_{m}\}}_{m\geqslant 1}$ of partial sums determine a graded connected commutative Hopf subalgebra HDSE in HFG(Φ) [30] such that the large Feynman graph X is in ${H}_{{\rm{FG}}}^{{\rm{cut}}}({\rm{\Phi }})$ [31, 39, 40]. Therefore, thanks to lemmas
We have
Therefore, for a fixed ${F}_{{t}_{0}}$ from the Renormalization Group, the evolution of X at the stage m≥1 from the perspective of the quantum integrable system ${\{{F}_{t}\}}_{t}$ with the Hamiltonian ${F}_{{t}_{0}}$ is given by the Poisson bracket ${\{{F}_{{t}_{0}},{\tilde{\alpha }}_{{\rm{DSE}}}(z)\}}_{0,{* }_{{\rm{gr}}}}$. ☐
