Various aspects of the Exact Renormalization Group (ERG) are explored, starting with a review of the concepts underpinning the framework and the circumstances under which it is expected to be useful. A particular emphasis is placed on the…
The renormalization group (RG) method is one of the singular perturbation methods which is used in search for asymptotic behavior of solutions of differential equations. In this article, time-independent vector fields and time (almost)…
We analyze the renormalization-group (RG) flows of two effective Lagrangians, one for measurement induced transitions of monitored quantum systems and one for entanglement transitions in random tensor networks. These Lagrangians, previously…
