Abstract This series of papers deals with the problem of finding relations between the parameters of the Standard Model of Glashow, Weinberg and Salam. In this first paper, the method of point splitting, suitably modified, is proposed as a useful regularization. When applied to quantum electrodynamics, this point-split regularization is indeed found to have desirable properties. More specifically, to one loop, the photon is shown to remain massless and the photon-photon scattering amplitude gauge invariant. In the following papers, this point-split regularization is applied to the electroweak theory. In the second paper, a first mass relation is obtained from the quadratic divergences. In the third paper, a second mass relation is found from the Higgs interactions. From these two relations, the masses of the Higgs boson and the top quark are determined theoretically for the Standard Model asm H =190GeV andm t =120GeV.
