Transport theory yields renormalization group equations

Statistical Mechanics 2009-04-30 v2 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We show that dissipative transport and renormalization can be described in a single theoretical framework. The appropriate mathematical tool is the Nakajima-Zwanzig projection technique. We illustrate our result in the case of interacting quantum gases, where we use the Nakajima-Zwanzig approach to investigate the renormalization group flow of the effective two-body interaction.
