We discuss the universal critical behavior of a selfinteracting scalar field theory at finite temperature as obtained from approximate solutions to nonperturbative renormalization group (RG) equations. We employ a formulation of the…

Renormalisation group approaches are tailor made for resolving the scale-dependence of quantum and statistical systems, and hence their phase structure and critical physics. Usually this advantage comes at the price of having to truncate…
Critical behaviour of the O(n)-symmetric $\phi^{4}$-model with an antisymmetric tensor order parameter is studied by means of the field-theoretic renormalization group (RG) in the leading order of the $\varepsilon=4-d$-expansion (one-loop…
The perturbative renormalization of the Ginzburg-Landau model is reconsidered based on the Feynman diagram technique. We derive renormalization group (RG) flow equations, exactly calculating all vertices appearing in the perturbative…
The advantages of using more than one renormalization group (RG) in problems with more than one important length scale are discussed. It is shown that: i) using different RG's can lead to complementary information, i.e. what is very…
Complex systems with many degrees of freedom are typically intractable, but some of their behaviors may admit simpler effective descriptions. The question of when such effective descriptions are possible remains open. The paradigmatic…

It is explained how field-theoretic methods and the dynamic renormalisation group (RG) can be applied to study the universal scaling properties of systems that either undergo a continuous phase transition or display generic scale…
Renormalisation group (RG) methods provide one of the most important techniques for analysing the physics of many-body systems, both analytically and numerically. By iterating an RG map, which "course-grains" the description of a many-body…

First-order phase transitions in many-fermion systems are not detected in the susceptibility analysis of common renormalization-group (RG) approaches. Here we introduce a counterterm technique within the functional renormalization-group…

The Renormalization Group (RG) is a set of methods that have been instrumental in tackling problems involving an infinite number of degrees of freedom. What all these methods have in common -- which is what explains their success -- is that…

The field theoretic renormalization group (RG) is applied to the model of a near-equilibrium fluid coupled to a scalar field (like temperature or density of an impurity) which is active, that is, influencing the dynamics of the fluid…
