Abstract

This note provides a new perspective on Polchinski's exact renormalization group, by explaining how it gives rise, via the multiscale Bakry-\'Emery criterion, to Lipschitz transport maps between Gaussian free fields and interacting quantum and statistical field theories. Consequently, many functional inequalities can be verified for the latter field theories, going beyond the current known results.
