Complex-dimensional renormalization is defined for an arbitrary Feynman amplitude and shown to be equivalent to BPH renormalization. Using quantum electrodynamics as an example, Ward identities are proved; here Carlson's theorem extends the identities from integer to complex dimension. Both complex dimensional and analytic regularization are necessary at intermediate stages.
