Abstract We examine the renormalization of the first order formulation of the Yang–Mills theory, by using the BRST identities. These preserve the gauge invariance of the theory and enable a recursive proof of renormalizability to higher orders in perturbation theory. The renormalization involves non-linear mixings as well as re-scalings of the fields and sources, which lead to a renormalized action at all orders.
