A parametrization of the lattice spacing ($a$) in terms of the bare coupling ($\beta$) for the SU(3) Yang--Mills theory with the Wilson gauge action is given in a wide range of~$\beta$. The Yang--Mills gradient flow with respect to the flow…
The gradient flow bears a close resemblance to the coarse graining, the guiding principle of the renormalization group (RG). In the case of scalar field theory, a precise connection has been made between the gradient flow and the RG flow of…
The Yang--Mills gradient flow and its extension to the fermion field provide a very general method to obtain renormalized observables in gauge theory. The method is applicable also with non-perturbative regularization such as lattice. The…
The Yang-Mills gradient flow and the observable E(t), defined by the square of the field strength tensor at t>0, are calculated at finite lattice spacing and tree-level in the gauge coupling. Improvement of the flow, the gauge action and…
Local products of fields deformed by the so-called Yang--Mills gradient flow become renormalized composite operators. This fact has been utilized to construct a correctly normalized conserved energy--momentum tensor in the lattice…
The product of gauge fields generated by the Yang-Mills gradient flow for positive flow times does not exhibit the coincidence-point singularity and a local product is thus independent of the regularization. Such a local product can…
The Yang-Mills gradient flow for QCD-like theories is generalized by including a fermionic matter term in the gauge field flow equation. We combine this with two different flow equations for the fermionic degrees of freedom. The solutions…
In infinite volume the gradient flow transformation can be interpreted as a continuous real-space Wilsonian renormalization group (RG) transformation. This approach allows one to determine the continuous RG $\beta$ function, an alternative…
The gradient flow exact renormalization (GFERG) is a variant of the exact renormalization group of gauge theory that aims to preserve gauge symmetry as manifestly as possible. From an integral representation of the Wilson action in GFERG…
Recent software advances now allow large-scale lattice studies of the Corrigan--Ramond large-$N_C$ limit of Yang-Mills theory coupled with a two-index antisymmetric fermion, providing a path to SUSY Yang-Mills. We are currently generating…
In the last few years, the Yang--Mills gradient flow was shown to be an attractive tool for non-perturbative studies of non-Abelian gauge theories. Here a simple extension of the flow to the quark fields in QCD is considered. As in the case…
The use of the Yang-Mills gradient flow in step-scaling studies of lattice QCD is expected to lead to results of unprecedented precision. Step scaling is usually based on the Schr\"odinger functional, where time ranges over an interval…
We derive a manifestly gauge invariant low energy blocked action for Yang-Mills theory using operator cutoff regularization, a prescription which renders the theory finite with a regulating smearing function constructed for the proper-time…
We show that an infinitesimal step of gradient flow can be used for defining a novel approach for computing gradients of physical observables with respect to action parameters. Compared to the commonly used perturbative expansion, this…
In lattice gauge theories, the gradient flow has been used extensively both, for scale setting and for defining finite volume renormalization schemes for the gauge coupling. Unfortunately, rather large cutoff effects have been observed in…
In the present work we set up a general functional renormalisation group framework for the computation of complex effective actions. For explicit computations we consider both flows of the Wilsonian effective action and the one-particle…
We recently derived a new action for gluodynamics by canonically transforming the Yang-Mills action on light-cone. The transformation elimated triple gluons vertices and replaced the gauge fields with Wilson lines. This greatly reduced the…
We formulate a nonsingular loop-space calculus for Yang-Mills (YM) gradient flow directly in terms of Wilson loops. Variations act within the manifold of smooth loops via finite, reparametrization-invariant "dot derivatives," eliminating…
By comparision with numerical results in the maximal Abelian projection of lattice Yang-Mills theory, it is argued that the nonperturbative dynamics of Yang Mills theory can be described by a set of fields that take their values in the…
We generalize the gradient flow equation for field theories with nonlinearly realized symmetry. Applying the formalism to super Yang-Mills theory, we construct a supersymmetric extension of the gradient flow equation. It can be shown that…
