The stationary states of boundary driven zero-range processes in random media with quenched disorder are examined, and the motion of a tagged particle is analyzed. For symmetric transition rates, also known as the random barrier model, the…
The flow equation method was proposed by Wegner as a technique for studying interacting systems in one dimension. Here, we apply this method to a disordered one dimensional model with power-law decaying hoppings. This model presents a…
Using the local potential approximation of the exact renormalization group (RG) equation, we show the various domains of values of the parameters of the O(1)-symmetric scalar Hamiltonian. In three dimensions, in addition to the usual…
Hamiltonian Renormalisation, as defined within this series of works, was derived from covariant Wilson renormalisation via Osterwalder-Schrader reconstruction. As such it directly applies to QFT with a true (physical) Hamiltonian bounded…
We present a procedure for averaging one-parameter random unitary groups and random self-adjoint groups. Central to this is a generalization of the notion of weak convergence of a sequence of measures and the corresponding generalization of…
Kinetically constrained models were originally introduced to capture slow relaxation in glassy systems, where dynamics are hindered by local constraints instead of energy barriers. Their quantum counterparts have recently drawn attention…
Approximately 10 years ago, the method of renormalization-group symmetries entered the field of boundary value problems of classical mathematical physics, stemming from the concepts of functional self-similarity and of the Bogoliubov…
We consider renormalization group (RG) transformations for classical Ising-type lattice spin systems in the infinite volume limit. Formally, the RG maps a Hamiltonian H into a renormalized Hamiltonian H': exp(-H'(\sigma'))=\sum_\sigma…
We establish the functional Renormalization Group as an exploratory tool to investigate a possible phase transition between a pre-geometric discrete phase and a geometric continuum phase in quantum gravity. In this paper, based on the…
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…
While we have several complementary models of confinement, some of which are phenomenologically appealing, we do not have the ability to calculate analytically even simple aspects of confinement, let alone have a framework to eventually…
Capturing the interplay between electronic correlations and many-particle entanglement requires a unified framework for Hamiltonian and eigenbasis renormalization. In this work, we apply the unitary renormalization group (URG) scheme…
This paper argues that the ideas underlying the renormalization group technique used to characterize phase transitions in condensed matter systems could be useful for distinguishing computational complexity classes. The paper presents a…
In this paper we argue that boundary condition may run with energy scale. As an illustrative example, we consider one-dimensional quantum mechanics for a spinless particle that freely propagates in the bulk yet interacts only at the origin.…
We present a unified framework for the renormalisation of the Hamiltonian and eigenbasis of a system of correlated electrons, unveiling thereby the interplay between electronic correlations and many-particle entanglement. For this, we…
Numerous correlated electron systems exhibit a strongly scale-dependent behavior. Upon lowering the energy scale, collective phenomena, bound states, and new effective degrees of freedom emerge. Typical examples include (i) competing…
We analyze the conceptual role of background independence in the application of the effective average action to quantum gravity. Insisting on a background independent renormalization group (RG) flow the coarse graining operation must be…
We review recent developments in the theory of renormalisation group flows in minimal models with boundaries. Among these, we discuss in particular the perturbative calculations of Recknagel et al, not only as a tool to predict the IR…
We advocate a (Wilson) renormalization-group (RG) treatment of finite-temperature first-order phase transitions, in particular those driven by radiative corrections such as occur in the standard model, and other spontaneously-broken gauge…
This thesis comprises two parts centered around the functional renormalization-group framework: in the first part, I study the role of symmetries and conservation laws in approximate solutions, while in the second part I analyze Friedel…
