Ultraviolet divergence



In physics, an ultraviolet divergence is a situation in which an integral, for example a Feynman diagram, diverges because of contributions of objects with very high energy approaching infinity, or, equivalently, because of physical phenomena at very short distances. An infinite answer to a question that should have a finite answer is a potential problem.
