Irreversibility of RG flows in two dimensions is shown using conserved vector currents. Out of a conserved vector current, a quantity decreasing along the RG flow is built up such that it is stationary at fixed points where it coincides…
We present a renormalization group (RG) method which allows for an analytical study of the transient dynamics of open quantum systems on all time scales. Whereas oscillation frequencies and decay rates of exponential time evolution follow…

We establish the renormalization group equation for the running action in the context of a one quantum particle system. This equation is deduced by integrating each fourier mode after the other in the path integral formalism. It is free of…
Large-$N$ renormalization group equations for one- and two-matrix models are derived. The exact renormalization group equation involving infinitely many induced interactions can be rewritten in a form that has a finite number of coupling…
We present a calculation of the low energy Greens function in $1+\epsilon$ dimensions using the method of extended poor man's scaling, developed here. We compute the wave function renormalization $Z(\omega)$ and also the decay rate near the…
We present the renormalization group (RG) flow diagram of a spin-half antiferromagnetic chain with magnetic impurity and one altered link. In this two parameters (competing interactions) model, one can find the complex phase diagram with…
Much of our understanding of critical phenomena is based on the notion of Renormalization Group (RG), but the actual determination of its fixed points is usually based on approximations and truncations, and predictions of physical…
We describe a search for renormalization group fixed points which control a second-order quantum phase transition between a d_{x^2-y^2} superconductor and some other superconducting ground state. Only a few candidate fixed points are found.…
We discuss structural aspects of the functional renormalisation group. Flows for a general class of correlation functions are derived, and it is shown how symmetry relations of the underlying theory are lifted to the regularised theory. A…
In this work, we introduce a new approach for constructing a renormalized and regularized Fock matrix for self-consistent field calculations. The scheme relies on second-order perturbation theory and is conceptually related to quasiparticle…
We suggest a new, renormalization group (RG) based, nonperturbative method for treating the intermittency problem of fully developed turbulence which also includes the effects of a finite boundary of the turbulent flow. The key idea is not…
Several density-matrix renormalization group methods have been proposed to compute the momentum- and frequency-resolved dynamical correlation functions of low-dimensional strongly correlated systems. The most relevant approaches are…
We propose four different mechanisms responsible for paramagnetic or diamagnetic persistent currents in normal metal rings and determine the circumstances for change of the current from paramagnetic to diamagnetic ones and {\it vice versa}.…
We combine two non-perturbative approaches, one based on the two-particle-irreducible (2PI) action, the other on the functional renormalization group (fRG), in an effort to develop new non-perturbative approximations for the field…
We develop a perturbative renormalization-group method in real time to describe nonequilibrium properties of discrete quantum systems coupled linearly to an environment. We include energy broadening and dissipation and develop a…
We derive an expansion of the functional renormalization (fRG) equations that treats the frequency and momentum dependencies of the vertices in a systematic manner. The scheme extends the channel-decomposed fRG equations to the frequency…
Can large distance high energy QCD be described by Reggeon Field Theory as an effective emergent theory? We start to investigate the issue employing functional renormalisation group techniques.
A general technique for the periodic orbit quantization of systems with near-integrable to mixed regular-chaotic dynamics is introduced. A small set of periodic orbits is sufficient for the construction of the semiclassical recurrence…
These lectures contain an introduction to modern renormalization group (RG) methods as well as functional RG approaches to gauge theories. In the first lecture, the functional renormalization group is introduced with a focus on the flow…
