Duality and the Renormalization Group

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The requirement that duality and renormalization group transformations commute as motions in the space of a theory has recently been explored to extract information about the renormalization flows in different statistical and field theoretical systems. After a review of what has been accomplished in the context of 2d sigma models, new results are presented which set up the stage for a fully generic calculation at two-loop order, with particular emphasis on the question of scheme dependence.
