Using finite size scaling techniques and a renormalization scheme based on the Gradient Flow, we determine non-perturbatively the $\beta$-function of the $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory for a range of renormalized couplings $\bar g^2\sim 1-12$.…
We investigate the renormalization group (RG) structure of the gradient flow. Instead of using the original bare action to generate the flow, we propose to use the effective action at each flow time. We write down the basic equation for…
Various results for higher-order perturbative calculations in the gradient-flow formalism are reviewed, including the gradient-flow beta function and the small-flow-time expansion of the hadronic vacuum polarization and the energy-momentum…
Tseytlin has recently proposed that an action functional exists whose gradient generates to all orders in perturbation theory the Renormalization Group (RG) flow of the target space metric in the worldsheet sigma model. The gradient is…
The flow equations of the renormalization group allow to analyse the perturbative $n$-point functions of renormalizable quantum filed theories. Rigorous bounds implying renormalizability permit to control large momentum behaviour, infrared…
We compute the renormalized trajectory of $\phi^4_4$-theory by perturbation theory in a running coupling. We introduce an iterative scheme without reference to a bare action. The expansion is proved to be finite to every order of…
We define rigorously a solution to the fourth-order total variation flow equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$. If $n\geq3$, it can be understood as a gradient flow of the total variation energy in $D^{-1}$, the dual space of $D^1_0$, which is the…

The Yang-Mills gradient flow in finite volume is used to define a running coupling scheme. As our main result the discrete beta-function, or step scaling function, is calculated for scale change s=3/2 at several lattice spacings for SU(3)…
Global existence and long-time behavior of solutions to a family of nonlinear fourth order evolution equations on $R^d$ are studied. These equations constitute gradient flows for the perturbed information functionals $F[u] = 1/(2\alpha)…
In this proceedings contribution we will review the main ideas behind the many recent works that apply the gradient flow to the determination of the renormalized coupling and the renormalization of composite operators. We will pay special…
The gradient property of the renormalisation group (RG) is examined to four-loop order in scalar-fermion systems in $d=4$ and $d=4-\varepsilon$ dimensions. The crucial role played by the beta shift, which is a modification of the standard…
In [8], the gradient conjecture of R. Thom was proven for gradient flows of analytic functions on Rn. This result means that the secant at a limit point converges, so that the flow cannot spiral forever. Once the trajectory becomes…
We present the main ideas and techniques of the proof that the duality-covariant four-dimensional noncommutative \phi^4-model is renormalisable to all orders. This includes the reformulation as a dynamical matrix model, the solution of the…
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…
Renormalization schemes and cutoff schemes allow for the introduction of various distinct renormalization scales for distinct couplings. We consider the coupled renormalization group flow of several marginal couplings which depend on just…
Scalar field theory at finite temperature is investigated via an improved renormalization group prescription which provides an effective resummation over all possible non-overlapping higher loop graphs. Explicit analyses for the lambda…
We develop a perturbative formulation of the Ricci flow in gravity. Following steps analogous to the gradient flow in QCD, we supplement the usual Feynman rules for perturbative gravity by flowed propagators and vertices as well as graviton…
We study the renormalization group flow of $\phi^4$ theory in two dimensions. Regularizing space into a fine-grained lattice and discretizing the scalar field in a controlled way, we rewrite the partition function of the theory as a tensor…
We compute the renormalized trajectory of $\phi^4_4$-theory by perturbation theory in a running coupling. We use an exact infinitesimal renormalization group. The expansion is put into a form which is manifestly independent of the scale…
