General aspects of fundamental physics are considered. We comment the Wigner's logical scheme and modify it to adjust to modern theoretical physics. Then, we discuss the role and indicate the place of renormalization group in the logic of…
This lecture provides an introduction to the renormalisation group as applied to scattering of two nonrelativistic particles. As well as forming a framework for constructing effective theories of few-nucleon systems, these ideas also…
The renormalization group is used to improve the effective potential of massive ${\rm O}(N)$ symmetric $\phi^4$ theory. Explicit results are given at the two-loop level.
We start with a simple introduction into the renormalization group (RG) in quantum field theory and give an overview of the renormalization group method. The third section is devoted to essential topics of the renorm-group use in the QFT.…
We report on the current status of recent efforts to develop the Density Matrix Renormalization Group method for use in large-scale nuclear shell-model calculations.
We point out some limits of the perturbative renormalization group used in statistical mechanics both at and out of equilibrium. We argue that the non perturbative renormalization group formalism is a promising candidate to overcome some of…
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…
A recently introduced real space renormalization group technique, developed for the analysis of processes in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class, is generalized and tested by applying it to a different family of surface growth…
The results of the renormalization group are commonly advertised as the existence of power law singularities near critical points. The classic predictions are often violated and logarithmic and exponential corrections are treated on a…
The renormalization group is not only a powerful method for describing universal properties of phase transitions but it is also useful for evaluating non- universal properties beyond mean-field theory. In this contribution we concentrate on…
Perturbative renormalization group theory is developed as a unified tool for global asymptotic analysis. With numerous examples, we illustrate its application to ordinary differential equation problems involving multiple scales, boundary…
We outline the proofs of several principal statements in conventional renormalization theory. This may be of some use in the light of new trends and new techniques (Hopf algebras, etc.) recently introduced in the field.
We stress the potential usefulness of renormalization group invariants. Especially particular combinations thereof could for instance be used as probes into patterns of supersymmetry breaking in the MSSM at inaccessibly high energies. We…
We apply the renormalization group theory to the dynamical systems with the simplest example of basic biological motifs. This includes the interpretation of complex networks as the perturbation to simple network. This is the first step to…
Recent results on finite open group transformations are reviewed.
We formulate the standard real-space renormalization group method in a way which takes into account the correlation between blocks. This is achieved in a dynamical way by means of operators which reflect the influence on a given block of…
The renormalization group method is a successive integration over the fluctuations which are ordered according to their length scale, a parameter in the external space. A different procedure is described, where the fluctuations are treated…
We review recent developments in the use of renormalization group (RG) methods in low-energy nuclear physics. These advances include enhanced RG technology, particularly for three-nucleon forces, which greatly extends the reach and accuracy…
Over the last several years, there has been a resurgence of interest in using non-perturbative approximation methods based on Wilson's continuous renormalization group. In this lecture, I review progress particularly in the past year,…
We present some clues to the study of the renormalization group, at graduate level, as well as some bibliographical pointers to classical resources. Just the kind of things one had liked to hear when starting to study the subject.
