We analyze, by rigorous renormalization group methods, a Fermi model for weak forces with a single family of leptons, one massless and the other with mass <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:mi>m</a:mi><a:mo>=</a:mo><a:mi>M</a:mi><a:msup><a:mi>e</a:mi><a:mrow><a:mo>−</a:mo><a:mi>β</a:mi></a:mrow></a:msup></a:math>, with <c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><c:mi>M</c:mi></c:math> the gauge boson mass, a quartic nonlocal interaction with coupling <e:math xmlns:e="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><e:msup><e:mi>λ</e:mi><e:mn>2</e:mn></e:msup></e:math>, and a momentum cutoff <g:math xmlns:g="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><g:mi mathvariant="normal">Λ</g:mi></g:math>.

The fact that the magnetic moment is associated with a dimensionally irrelevant quantity requires the implementation of cancellations in the multiscale analysis.
