Rheological properties of dense flows of hard particles are singular as one approaches the jamming threshold where flow ceases, both for aerial granular flows dominated by inertia, and for over-damped suspensions. Concomitantly, the…
We employ nonperturbative flow equations for the description of the effective action in Yang-Mills theories. We find that the perturbative vacuum with vanishing gauge field strength does not correspond to the minimum of the Euclidean…

We use the Yang-Mills gradient flow to calculate the pseudo-scalar expansion coefficient $c_P^*(t_f)$. This quantity is a key ingredient to obtaining the chiral condensate and strange quark content of the nucleon using the Lattice QCD…
We consider the behaviour of a critical system in the presence of a gradient perturbation of the couplings. In the direction of the gradient an interface region separates the ordered phase from the disordered one. We develop a scaling…
We show that an infinitesimal step of gradient flow can be used for defining a novel approach for computing gradients of physical observables with respect to action parameters. Compared to the commonly used perturbative expansion, this…
We study several types of tree-level improvement in the Yang-Mills gradient flow method in order to reduce the lattice discretization errors in line with Fodor et al. [arXiv:1406.0827]. The tree-level $\mathcal{O}(a^2)$ improvement can be…
Following Symanzik we argue that the Schr\"odinger functional in lattice gauge theories without matter fields has a well-defined continuum limit. Due to gauge invariance no extra counter terms are required. The Schr\"odinger functional is,…
Various results for higher-order perturbative calculations in the gradient-flow formalism are reviewed, including the gradient-flow beta function and the small-flow-time expansion of the hadronic vacuum polarization and the energy-momentum…
We generalize the gradient flow equation for field theories with nonlinearly realized symmetry. Applying the formalism to super Yang-Mills theory, we construct a supersymmetric extension of the gradient flow equation. It can be shown that…
For slowly varying fields the Yang-Mills Schroedinger functional can be expanded in terms of local functionals. We show how analyticity in a complex scale parameter enables the Schroedinger functional for arbitrarily varying fields to be…
