Renormalization Group as a Koopman Operator

Statistical Mechanics 2020-07-01 v3

Abstract

Koopman operator theory is shown to be directly related to the renormalization group. This observation allows us, with no assumption of translational invariance, to compute the critical exponents η\eta and δ\delta, as well as ratios of critical exponents, of classical spin systems from single observables alone. This broadens the types of problems that the renormalization group framework can be applied to and establish universality classes of. In addition, this connection may allow for a new, data-driven way in which to find the renormalization group fixed point(s), and their relevant and irrelevant directions.
