We investigate the renormalization group flow of a gravity--matter system in which a scalar field is minimally coupled to Einstein gravity and its kinetic term is given by a scale-dependent form factor $f_\Lambda(-\Box)$. Employing the…

We calculate numerically the renormalization group (RG) flow of lattice QCD in two-coupling space, $(\beta_{1\times 1},\beta_{1\times 2})$. This is the first explicit calculation of the RG flow of SU(3) gauge theory. From the RG flow,a…
