Various aspects of the Exact Renormalization Group (ERG) are explored, starting with a review of the concepts underpinning the framework and the circumstances under which it is expected to be useful. A particular emphasis is placed on the…
Some mathematical aspects of using the translation group as an internal symmetry group in a gauge field theory are presented and discussed. The traditional manner in which gravitation can be accounted for by the introduction of a global…
This paper is the last of the series investigating renormalization group aspects of stochastic random matrices, including a Wigner-like disorder. We consider the equilibrium dynamics formalism that can be merged with the Ward identities…
In this article we propose a `second quantization' scheme especially suitable to deal with non-trivial, highly symmetric phase spaces, implemented within a more general Group Approach to Quantization, which recovers the standard Quantum…
In the practice of physics model building, the process of renormalization, resummation, and anomaly cancellation is to incrementally repair initially ill-defined Lagrangian quantum field theories. Impressive as this is, one would rather…
A scalar theory can have many Gaussian (free) fixed points, corresponding to Lagrangians of the form $\phi\,\Box^k\phi$. We use the non-perturbative RG to study examples of flows between such fixed points. We show that the anomalous…
The requirement that duality and renormalization group transformations commute as motions in the space of a theory has recently been explored to extract information about the renormalization flows in different statistical and field…
Some renormalization group approaches have been proposed during the last few years which are close in spirit to the Nightingale phenomenological procedure. In essence, by exploiting the finite size scaling hypothesis, the approximate…
We use the non-perturbative renormalization group to clarify some features of perturbation theory in thermal field theory. For the specific case of the scalar field theory with O(N) symmetry, we solve the flow equations within the local…
We study nonperturbative aspects of quantum field theory (QFT) in rigid anti de Sitter (AdS) spacetime using quantum information theoretic methods. While irreversibility of renormalization group (RG) flows is well established in flat space,…

We propose a general formulation of the renormalisation group as a family of quantum channels which connect the microscopic physical world to the observable world at some scale. By endowing the set of quantum states with an operationally…
A field theoretic renormalization group method is presented which is capable of dealing with crossover problems associated with a change in the upper critical dimension. The method leads to flow functions for the parameters and coupling…
Renormalization group equations play a central role in effective field theories, both maintaining perturbative control and allowing one to determine the correct low-energy phenomenology. In this work, we complete the one-loop…
Very high energy physics needs a coherent description of the four fundamental forces. Non-commutative geometry is a promising mathematical framework which already allowed to unify the general relativity and the standard model, at the…
We study the renormalization group equations of the fully anisotropic $\lambda$-deformed CFTs involving the direct product of two current algebras at different levels $k_{1,2}$ for general semi-simple groups. The exact, in the deformation…
The first renormalisable quantum field theories on non-commutative space have been found recently. We review this rapidly growing subject.
This is a further explanation of a new and simple renormalization approach recently proposed by the author (hep-th/9708104, Ref. [1], that is somewhat sketchy) for any ordinary QFT (whether renormalizable or not) in any spacetime dimension.…
We investigate the renormalization group flows of multicomponent scalar theories with $U(1)$ gauge symmetry using the functional renormalization group method. The scalar sector is built up from traces of matrix fields that belong to simple,…
The relation between renormalization and short distance singular divergencies in quantum field theory is studied. As a consequence a finite theory is presented. It is shown that these divergencies are originated by the multiplication of…
