The effective theory describing infinite mass particles with a given velocity, has a great interest in heavy flavor physics. It has the unpleasant characteristic that the energy spectrum is unbounded from below; this fact is the source of…
Asymptotically free renormalization group trajectories can be constructed in nonabelian Higgs models with the aid of generalized boundary conditions imposed on the renormalized action. We detail this construction within the languages of…
We compute, at two-loop order, one-particle-irreducible Green functions and effective action in noncommutative $\lambda[\Phi^3]_\star$-theory for both planar (g=0, h=3) and nonplanar (g=1, h=1) contributions. We adopt worldline formulation…
We perform a lattice analysis of the Faddeev-Niemi effective action conjectured to describe the low-energy sector of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. To this end we generate an ensemble of unit vector fields ("color spins") n from the Wilson…
A group is called $\Lambda$-free if it has a free Lyndon length function in an ordered abelian group $\Lambda$, which is equivalent to having a free isometric action on a $\Lambda$-tree. A group has a regular free length function in…
A general framework for the Weyl invariant quantization of Liouville field theory by means of an exact renormalization group equation is proposed. This flow equation describes the scale dependence of the effective average action which has a…
The asymptotic behavior of the effective mass $m_{\rm eff}(\Lambda)$ of the so-called Nelson model in quantum field theory is considered, where $\Lambda$ is an ultraviolet cutoff parameter of the model. Let $m$ be the bare mass of the…

Effective field theory provides a new perspective on the predictive power of Renormalization Group fixed points. Critical trajectories between different fixed points confine the regions of UV-complete, IR-complete, as well as conformal…
Let $I$ be a graded ideal of a standard graded polynomial ring $S$ with coefficients in a field $K$. The asymptotic behaviour of the $\text{v}$-number of the powers of $I$ is investigated. Natural lower and upper bounds which are linear…
A hidden generalized gauge symmetry of a cutoff QED is used to show the renormalizability of QED. In particular, it is shown that corresponding Ward identities are valid all along the renormalization group flow. The exact Renormalization…
We investigate the Symanzik improvement of the Wilson quark action on anisotropic lattices. Taking first a general action with nearest-neighbor and clover interactions, we study the mass dependence of the ratio of the hopping parameters,…
An interesting class of background field configurations in QED are the O(2)xO(3) symmetric fields. Those backgrounds have some instanton-like properties and yield a one-loop effective action that is highly nontrivial but amenable to…
Recently, we have developed a formalism to evaluate QCD loop diagrams with a single virtual gluon using a running coupling constant at the vertices. This corresponds to an all-order resummation of certain terms (the so-called renormalon…
We find two convergent series expansions for Legendre's first incomplete elliptic integral $F(\lambda,k)$ in terms of recursively computed elementary functions. Both expansions are valid at every point of the unit square $0<\lambda,k<1$.…
The heavy quark effective theory makes model independent predictions for semileptonic $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c$ decays in terms of a small set of parameters. No subleading Isgur-Wise function occurs at order $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}/m_{c,b}$, and…
Extending previous QCD Hamiltonian studies, we present a new renormalization procedure which generates an effective Hamiltonian for the gluon sector. The formulation is in the Coulomb gauge where the QCD Hamiltonian is renormalizable and…
We compute the one-loop renormalisation group running of the bosonic Standard Model effective operators to order $v^4/\Lambda^4$, with $v\sim 246$ GeV being the electroweak scale and $\Lambda$ the unknown new physics threshold. We…
In this paper it is argued that the properties of the fixed point action of a renormalization group transformation can be used to implement the on-shell tree-level Symanzik improvement of lattice actions to any given order in the expansion…
Asymptotic Safety constitutes a promising mechanism for a consistent and predictive high-energy completion of the gravitational interactions. To date, most results on the interacting renormalization group fixed point underlying the…
