Abstract

We develop the theory of Hamiltonian Truncation (HT) to systematically study RG flows that require the renormalization of coupling constants. This is a necessary step towards making HT a fully general method for QFT calculations. We apply this theory to a number of QFTs defined as relevant deformations of d=1+1d=1+1 CFTs. We investigated three examples of increasing complexity: the deformed Ising, Tricritical-Ising, and non-unitary minimal model M(3,7)M(3,7). The first two examples provide a crosscheck of our methodologies against well established characteristics of these theories. The M(3,7)M(3,7) CFT deformed by its Z2Z_2-even operators shows an intricate phase diagram that we clarify. At a boundary of this phase diagram we show that this theory flows, in the IR, to the M(3,5)M(3,5) CFT.
