Gradient flow has proved useful in the definition and measurement of renormalized quantities on the lattice. Recently, the fact that it suppresses high-modes of the field has been used to construct new, continuous RG transformations both…
A Wilsonian renormalisation group is used to study nonrelativistic two-body scattering by a short-ranged potential. We identify two fixed points: a trivial one and one describing systems with a bound state at zero energy. The eigenvalues of…
Using Wilsonian renormalization, we calculate the quantum correction to observable quantities, rather than the bare parameters, of the Higgs field. A physical parameter, such as a mass-squared or a quartic coupling, at an energy scale $\mu$…
A careful analysis of differential renormalization shows that a distinguished choice of renormalization constants allows for a mathematically more fundamental interpretation of the scheme. With this set of a priori fixed integration…
Using a novel approach to renormalization in the Hamiltonian formalism, we study the connection between asymptotic freedom and the renormalization group flow of the configuration space metric. It is argued that in asymptotically free…

Recent work by Kousvos and Stergiou criticises our work with Zhong Ming Tan [arXiv:1505.00963]. The issue is CFT scaling dimension computations in perturbative Renormalization Group. We identified operators whose correlation functions…
The derivative expansion of the Wilsonian renormalization group generates additional terms in the effective beta-functions not present in the perturbative approach. Applied to the nonlinear sigma model, to lowest order the vanishing of the…
We derive the Gell-Mann and Low renormalization group equation in the Wilsonian approach to renormalization of massless $g\phi^4$ in four dimensions, as a particular case of a non-linear equation satisfied at any scale by the Wilsonian…
Path integrals and the Wilsonian renormalization group provide two complementary computational tools for investigating continuum approaches to quantum gravity. The starting points of these constructions utilize a bare action and a fixed…
We have addressed the issue of field redefinition in connection with renormalisability. Our study is restricted to theories of interacting scalar fields. We have, in particular, shown that if a theory is renormalisable in the usual…
The renormalization group flow in a general renormalizable gauge theory with a simple gauge group in 3+1 dimensions is analyzed. The flow of the ratios of the Yukawa couplings and the gauge coupling is described in terms of a bounded…
We study the formulation of the Wilson renormalization group (RG) method for a non-Abelian gauge theory. We analyze the simple case of $SU(2)$ and show that the local gauge symmetry can be implemented by suitable boundary conditions for the…
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…
Perturbative renormalization group theory is developed as a unified tool for global asymptotic analysis. With numerous examples, we illustrate its application to ordinary differential equation problems involving multiple scales, boundary…
Wilson's approach to renormalization group is reanalyzed for supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Usual demonstration of exact renormalization group equation must be modified due to the presence of the so called Konishi anomaly under the…
In the context of Wilsonian Renormalization, renormalization group (RG) flows are a set of differential equations that defines how the coupling constants of a theory depend on an energy scale. These equations closely resemble…
