Gauge invariant regularisation in the ERG approach

A gauge invariant regularisation which can be used for non-perturbative treatment of Yang-Mills theories within the exact renormalization group approach is constructed. It consists of a spontaneously broken SU(N|N) super-gauge extension of the initial Yang-Mills action supplied with covariant higher derivatives. We demonstrate that the extended theory in four dimensions is ultra-violet finite perturbatively and argue that it has a sensible limit when the regularisation cutoff is removed.
