Abstract

The Local Potential Approximation (LPA) to the Wetterich-equation is formulated explicitly in terms of operators, which are invariant under the U(n)×U(n)U(n)\times U(n) symmetry group. Complete formulas are presented for the two-flavor (U(2)×U(2)U(2)\times U(2)) case. The same approach leads to a unique natural truncation of the functional driving the renormalisation flow of the potential of the three-flavor case (U(3)×U(3)U(3)\times U(3)). The procedure applied to the SU(3)×SU(3)SU(3)\times SU(3) symmetric theory, results in an equation, which potentially allows an RG-investigation of the effect of the 't Hooft term representing the UA(1)U_A(1) anomaly, disentangled from the other operators.
