We calculate the linear response conductance of electrons in a Luttinger liquid with arbitrary interaction g_2, and subject to a potential barrier of arbitrary strength, as a function of temperature. We map the Hamiltonian in the basis of…
We find an analog of Zamolodchikov's c-theorem for disordered two dimensional noninteracting systems in their supersymmetric representation. For this purpose we introduce a new parameter b which flows along the renormalization group…
The a-function is a proposed quantity defined in even dimensions which has a monotonic behaviour along RG flows, related to the beta-functions via a gradient flow equation. We study the a-function for a general scalar theory in six…
We show irreversibility of the renormalization group flow in non-unitary but ${\cal PT}$-invariant quantum field theory in two space-time dimensions. In addition to unbroken $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry and a positive energy spectrum, we assume…
We discuss an extension of the $C$-theorem to chiral theories. We show that two monotonically decreasing $C$-functions can be introduced. However, their difference is a constant of the renormalization group flow. This constant reproduces…
The properties of a classical simple liquid can be strongly affected by application of an external potential that supports inhomogeneity. To understand the nature of these property changes the equilibrium particle distribution functions of…
The g-function is a measure of degrees of freedom associated to a boundary of two-dimensional quantum field theories. In integrable theories, it can be computed exactly in a form of the Fredholm determinant, but it is often hard to evaluate…
Within the Local Potential Approximation to Wilson's, or Polchinski's, exact renormalization group, and for general spacetime dimension, we construct a function, c, of the coupling constants; it has the property that (for unitary theories)…
The gauge dependence of effective average action in the functional renormalization group is studied. The effective average action is considered as non-perturbative solution to the flow equation which is the basic equation of the method. It…

We study boundary renormalization group flows between boundary conformal field theories in $1+1$ dimensions using methods of quantum information theory. We define an entropic $g$-function for theories with impurities in terms of the…
Value of generalized hypergeometric function at a special point is calculated. More precisely, value of certain multiple integral over vanishing cycle (all arguments collapse to unity) is calculated. The answer is expressed in terms of…
For proper group actions on smooth manifolds, with compact quotients, we define an equivariant version of the Ruelle dynamical $\zeta$-function for equivariant flows satisfying a nondegeneracy condition. The construction is based on an…
We construct exact functional renormalization group (RG) flow equations for non-relativistic fermions in arbitrary dimensions, taking into account not only mode elimination but also the rescaling of the momenta, frequencies and the…
We investigate the staircase model, introduced by Aliosha Zamolodchikov through an analytic continuation of the sinh-Gordon S-matrix to describe interpolating flows between minimal models of conformal field theory in two dimensions.…
We discuss the relation between the Gell-Mann-Low beta function and the ``flowing couplings'' of the Wilsonian action $S_\L[\phi]$ of the exact renormalization group (RG) at the scale $\L$. This relation involves the ultraviolet region of…
We prove local existence of solutions of a functional Renormalisation Group equation for the effective action of an interacting quantum field theory, when a suitable Local Potential Approximation is considered. To obtain this equation in a…
The renormalization group flow in two-dimensional field theories that are coupled to gravity has unusual features: First, the flow equations are second order in derivatives. Second, in the presence of handles the flow has quantum mechanical…
We revisit the critical behavior of classical frustrated systems using the nonperturbative renormalization group (NPRG) equation. Our study is performed within the local potential approximation of this equation to which is added the flow of…
Action functionals describing relativistic perfect fluids are presented. Two of these actions apply to fluids whose equations of state are specified by giving the fluid energy density as a function of particle number density and entropy per…
