We perform the step-scaling investigation of the running coupling constant, using the gradient-flow scheme, in SU(3) gauge theory with twelve massless fermions in the fundamental representation. The Wilson plaquette gauge action and…
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…

Recently, the Yang-Mills gradient flow is found to be a useful concept not only in lattice simulations but also in continuous field theories. Since its smearing property is similar to the Wilsoninan "block spin transformation", there might…

A gradient flow equation for $\lambda\phi^{4}$ theory in $D=4$ is formulated. In this scheme the gradient flow equation is written in terms of the renormalized probe variable $\Phi(t,x)$ and renormalized parameters $m^{2}$ and $\lambda$ in…
We show that in Yang-Mills theory the Slavnov-Taylor (ST) identity, extended in the presence of a background gauge connection, allows to fix in a unique way the dependence of the vertex functional on the background, once the 1-PI amplitudes…
We propose a closed gauge-invariant functional flow equation for Yang-Mills theories and quantum gravity that only involves one macroscopic gauge field or metric. It is based on a projection on physical and gauge fluctuations. Deriving this…
Four dimensional Yang-Mills theory formulated through an action on twistor space has a larger gauge symmetry than the usual formulation, which in previous work was shown to allow a simple gauge transformation between text-book perturbation…

The gradient flow method is a renormalization scheme in which the gauge field is flowed by the diffusion equation. The gradient flow scheme has benefits that the observables composed of flowed gauge fields do not require further…
