We present a line of reasoning based on the analysis of scale variations of the Wilsonian partition function and the trace of the stress tensor in a curved manifold which results in a statement of irreversibility of Wilsonian…
We explore a method to recover symmetry identities in the 2PI formalism. It is based on non-perturbative approximations to the 1PI effective action. We discuss renormalization questions raised by this technique.
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 discuss the realization of conformal invariance for Wilson actions using the formalism of the exact renormalization group. This subject has been studied extensively in the recent works of O. J. Rosten. The main purpose of this paper is…
We define a one-particle irreducible (1PI) Wilson action in the gradient flow exact renormalization group (GFERG) formalism as the Legendre transform of a Wilson action. We consider quantum electrodynamics in particular, and show that the…
We investigate non-Abelian gauge theories within a Wilsonian Renormalisation Group approach. The cut-off term inherent in this approach leads to a modified Ward identity (mWI). It is shown that this mWI is compatible with the flow and that…
We show how to perform renormalization in the framework of the 2PI effective action for abelian gauge theories. In addition to the usual renormalization conditions one needs to incorporate new ones in order to remove non-transverse UV…
We combine two non-perturbative approaches, one based on the two-particle-irreducible (2PI) action, the other on the functional renormalization group (fRG), in an effort to develop new non-perturbative approximations for the field…
In the functional renormalisation group approach to gauge theory, the Ward-Takahashi identity is modified due to the presence of an infrared cutoff term. It take the most accessible form for the Wilsonian effective action. In the present…
We derive an alternative to the Wetterich-Morris-Ellwanger equation by means of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action, exploiting the method of external sources due to Garbrecht and Millington. The latter allows the two-point…
We describe a new formulation of the functional renormalization group (RG) for interacting fermions within a Wilsonian momentum-shell approach. We show that the Luttinger-Ward functional is a fixed point of the RG, and derive the infinite…
We discuss the application of two-particle-irreducible (2PI) functional techniques to gauge theories, focusing on the issue of non-perturbative renormalization. In particular, we show how to renormalize the photon and fermion propagators of…
The Wilsonian renormalisation group is applied to a system of two nonrelativistic particles interacting via short-range forces and coupled to an external EM field. By demanding that a fully off-shell one-particle-irreducible 5-point…
We consider a symmetric scalar theory with quartic coupling in 4-dimensions and compare the standard 2PI calculation with a modified version which uses a functional renormalization group method. The set of integral differential equations…
The Wilson (exact) renormalization group equations are used to determine the evolution of a general low energy N=1 supersymmetric action containing a U(1) gauge vector multiplet and a neutral chiral multiplet. The effective theory evolves…
We compute the first order correction in $\hbar $ to the field dependent wave function in Statistical Field Theory. These corrections are evaluated by several usual methods. We limit ourselves to a one dimensional model in order to avoid…
We work in theories with both light and heavy particles. A method to obtain an effective low energy action with respect to the light particle is presented. Thanks to Wilsonian renormalization, we obtain effective actions with finite number…
We analyze the renormalization of wave functionals and energy eigenvalues in field theory. A discussion of the structure of the renormalization group equation for a general Hamiltonian system is also given.
We discuss structural aspects of the functional renormalisation group. Flows for a general class of correlation functions are derived, and it is shown how symmetry relations of the underlying theory are lifted to the regularised theory. A…
We are interested in the consistency between the cutoff, chiral symmetry, and the power counting. For this purpose, we apply the Wilsonian renormalization group (RG) to an operator and then decrease the Wilsonian cutoff. As an example, we…
