The determination of the critical exponents by means of the Exact Renormalizion Group approach is still a topic of debate. The general flow equation is by construction scheme independent, but the use of the truncated derivative expansion…
If $A(t)$ is a $C^{1,\al}$-curve of unbounded self-adjoint operators with compact resolvents and common domain of definition, then the eigenvalues can be parameterized $C^1$ in $t$. If $A$ is $C^\infty$ then the eigenvalues can be…
We consider the Hamiltonian renormalisation group flow of discretised one-dimensional physical theories. In particular, we investigate the influence the choice of different embedding maps has on the RG flow and the resulting continuum…
Two infinite walks on the same finite graph are called compatible if it is possible to introduce delays into them in such a way that they never collide. Years ago, Peter Winkler asked the question: for which graphs are two independent walks…
Application of the background-field method yields a gauge-invariant effective action for the electroweak Standard Model, from which simple QED-like Ward identities are derived. As a consequence of these Ward identities, the background-field…
We use information geometry, in which the local distance between models measures their distinguishability from data, to quantify the flow of information under the renormalization group. We show that information about relevant parameters is…
We investigate the renormalization group flow of a gravity--matter system in which a scalar field is minimally coupled to Einstein gravity and its kinetic term is given by a scale-dependent form factor $f_\Lambda(-\Box)$. Employing the…
The formulation of an exact functional renormalization group equation for Quantum Einstein Gravity necessitates that the underlying effective average action depends on two metrics, a dynamical metric giving the vacuum expectation value of…
We call a flag variety admissible if its automorphism group is the projective general linear group. (This holds in most cases.) Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $0$, containing all roots of unity. Let the $K$-variety $X$ be a form of an…
We investigate the emergence of a conformal anomaly pole in conformal field theories in the case of the $TJJ$ correlator. We show how it comes to be generated in dimensional renormalization, using a basis of 13 form factors (the $F$-basis),…
In this note we prove a large deviation bound on the sum of random variables with the following dependency structure: there is a dependency graph $G$ with a bounded chromatic number, in which each vertex represents a random variable.…
We discuss the following proposition: Renormalization Group flow of quantum theory with a biased symmetry exhibits a fixed hypersurface at which the symmetry is exact. Such emergent symmetries may have important phenomenological…
For some involutive maps $\Phi:{\mathbb C}P^1 \times {\mathbb C}P^1 \to {\mathbb C}P^1 \times {\mathbb C}P^1$ we find all invariants with separated variables. We investigate a link of the maps and their invariants with separated variables…
We derive the conditions whereby null rays `defocus' within Infinite Derivative Gravity for perturbations around an (A)dS background, and show that it is therefore possible to avoid singularities within this framework. This is in contrast…
The Wilsonian exact renormalization group gives a natural framework in which ultraviolet and infrared divergences can be treated separately. In massless QED we introduce, as the only mass parameter, a renormalization scale $\L_R > 0$. We…
We introduce a new map between configuration spaces of points in a background manifold - the replication map - and prove that it is a homology isomorphism in a range with certain coefficients. This is particularly of interest when the…
We construct several pairwise-incomparable bounds on the projective dimensions of edge ideals. Our bounds use combinatorial properties of the associated graphs; in particular we draw heavily from the topic of dominating sets. Through…
We show that the running of gravitational couplings, together with a suitable identification of the renormalization group scale can give rise to modified dispersion relations for massive particles. This result seems to be compatible with…
We gain tight rigorous bounds on the renormalisation fixed point function for period doubling in families of unimodal maps with degree 2 critical point. By writing the relevant eigenproblems in a modified nonlinear form, we use these…
We investigate the renormalization group flows and fixed point structure of many coupled minimal models. The models are coupled two by two by energy-energy couplings. We take the general approach where the bare couplings are all taken to be…
