We present a renormalization-group (RG) analysis of dark matter interactions with the standard model, where dark matter is allowed to be a component of an electroweak multiplet, and has a mass at or below the electroweak scale. We consider,…
We apply renormalization ideas to study low-energy interactions in two-body systems. As we will see this method highlights a model-independent description of a broad variety of systems ranging from ultra-could atoms to NN and Lambda-Lambda…
We consider a symmetric scalar theory with quartic coupling in 4-dimensions and compare the standard 2PI calculation with a modified version which uses a functional renormalization group method. The set of integral differential equations…
Renormalization group methods are used to study the low-energy behavior of the unscreened Coulomb interaction in a one-dimensional electron system. By applying a GW approximation, a strong wavefunction renormalization is found in the model,…

We present an improved action for renormalizable effective field theories (EFTs) of systems near the two-body unitarity limit. The ordering of EFT interactions is constrained, but not entirely fixed, by the renormalization group. The…

We present a study of two-nucleon scattering in chiral effective field theory with a finite cutoff to next-to-leading order in the chiral expansion. In the proposed scheme, the contributions of the lowest-order interaction to the scattering…
We analyze the renormalization of systems whose effective degrees of freedom are described in terms of fluctuations which are ``environment'' dependent. Relevant environmental parameters considered are: temperature, system size, boundary…
Salmhofer [Commun. Math. Phys. 194, 249 (1998)] has recently developed a new renormalization group method for interacting Fermi systems, where the complete flow from the bare action of a microscopic model to the effective low-energy action,…
Naively, the "best" method of renormalization is the one where a momentum cutoff is taken to infinity while maintaining stable results due to a cutoff-dependent adjustment of counterterms. We have applied this renormalization method in the…
This review aims at a critical discussion of the interplay between effective interactions derived from various many-body approaches and spectroscopic data extracted from large scale shell-model studies. To achieve this, our many-body scheme…
