We prove exponential contraction of renormalization along hybrid classes of infinitely renormalizable unimodal maps (with arbitrary combinatorics), in any even degree $d$. We then conclude that orbits of renormalization are asymptotic to…
It has been observed that the famous Feigenbaum-Coullet-Tresser period doubling universality has a counterpart for area-preserving maps of ${\fR}^2$. A renormalization approach has been used in a "hard" computer-assisted proof of existence…
We present a number of rigidity results concerning holomorphic dynamical systems admitting rotation quasicircles. Firstly, we show the absence of line fields on the Julia set of any rational map that is geometrically finite away from a…
The renormalization group is used to resum leading logarithmic contributions of the form alpha_s^{n+1} beta_0^n log^n (Delta/mu) to the gap equation appropriate for high density QCD. The scale dependence of the strong coupling constant…
In the context of algebraic renormalization, the extended antifield formalism is used to derive the general forms of the anomaly consistency condition and of the Callan-Symanzik equation for generic gauge theories. A local version of the…
In this paper we study homeomorphisms of the circle with several critical points and bounded type rotation number. We prove complex a priori bounds for these maps. As an application, we get that bi-cubic circle maps with same bounded type…
The extension of coupling constants to space-time dependent fields, the local couplings, makes possible to derive the non-renormalization theorems of supersymmetry by an algebraic characterization of Lagrangian N=1 supermultiplets. For…
We prove density of hyperbolicity in spaces of (i) real transcendental entire functions, bounded on the real line, whose singular set is finite and real and (ii) transcendental self-maps of the punctured plane which preserve the circle and…
Let $f$ be a $C^{2+\epsilon}$ expanding map of the circle and $v$ be a $C^{1+\epsilon}$ real function of the circle. Consider the twisted cohomological equation $v(x) = \alpha (f(x)) - Df(x) \alpha (x)$ which has a unique bounded solution…
We consider skew-product maps over circle rotations $x\mapsto x+\alpha$ (mod 1) with factors that take values in SL(2,R) In numerical experiments with $\alpha$ the inverse golden mean, Fibonacci iterates of almost Mathieu maps with rotation…
We consider a renormalization transformation $R$ for skew-product maps of the type that arise in a spectral analysis of the Hofstadter Hamiltonian. Periodic orbits of $R$ determine universal constants analogous to the critical exponents in…
We study an approximate renormalization-group transformation to analyze the breakup of invariant tori for three degrees of freedom Hamiltonian systems. The scheme is implemented for the spiral mean torus. We find numerically that the…
We give a simple, straightforward proof of the non-hypercyclicity of an arbitrary (bounded or not) normal operator $A$ in a complex Hilbert space as well as of the collection $\left\{e^{tA}\right\}_{t\ge 0}$ of its exponentials, which,…
The renormalization of a quadratic-like map is studied. The three-dimensional Yoccoz puzzle for an infinitely renormalizable quadratic-like map is discussed. For an unbranched quadratic-like map having the {\sl a priori} complex bounds, the…
The possibility that nonlocal operators might be added to the Yang-Mills action is investigated. We point out that there exists a class of nonlocal operators which lead to renormalizable gauge theories. These operators turn out to be…
We introduce a class of infinitely renormalizable, unicritical diffeomorphisms of the disk (with a non-degenerate "critical point"). In this class of dynamical systems, we show that under renormalization, maps eventually become…
An exact renormalization group equation is derived for the free energy of matrix models. The renormalization group equation turns out to be nonlinear for matrix models, as opposed to linear for vector models. An algorithm for determining…
We give a comprehensive review of the renormalization group method for global and asymptotic analysis, putting an emphasis on the relevance to the classical theory of envelopes and the existence of invariant manifolds of the dynamics under…
In this note we construct hyperbolic fixed points for cylinder renormalization of maps with Siegel disks.
Using a renormalization method, we study the critical behavior for intermittency in two coupled one-dimensional (1D) maps. We find two fixed maps of the renormalization transformation. They all have common relevant eigenvalues associated…
