Two-loop renormalization group equations in gauge theories with multiple U(1) groups are presented. Instead of normalizing the abelian gauge fields in canonical forms, we retain kinetic-mixing terms and treat the mixing coefficients as free…
We take the manifestly gauge invariant exact renormalisation group previously used to compute the one-loop beta function in SU(N) Yang-Mills without gauge fixing, and generalise it so that it can be renormalised straightforwardly at any…
We investigate $\beta$-functions of quantum gravity using dimensional regularisation. In contrast to minimal subtraction, a non-minimal renormalisation scheme is employed which is sensitive to power-law divergences from mass terms or…
