Abstract: (APS)
We formulate a space-time picture of the evolution of jet processes in the context of the (φ3)6 model field theory. A leading logarithmic sum is performed to substantiate the underlying physics. In particular, we clearly locate the dominant subprocesses and then the emergence of the running coupling constant. A field-theoretic derivation of the Altarelli-Parisi equation is given, and the factorization property is shown. This article is a precursor to our companion article in which a similar problem in quantum chromodynamics is solved.
