The $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory in $\mathbb R^4\times S^1$ spacetime is studied as a simple toy model of Gauge-Higgs unification. The theory is perturbatively nonrenormalizable but could be formulated as an asymptotically safe theory, namely…
We extend the Wilson renormalization group (RG) to supersymmetric theories. As this regularization scheme preserves supersymmetry, we exploit the superspace technique. To set up the formalism we first derive the RG flow for the massless…
The non-perturbative renormalization-group approach is extended to lattice models, considering as an example a $\phi^4$ theory defined on a $d$-dimensional hypercubic lattice. Within a simple approximation for the effective action, we solve…
A lattice formulation of Lifshitz-type gauge theories is presented. While the Lorentz-invariant Yang-Mills theory is not renormalizable in five dimensions, non-Abelian Lifshitz-type gauge theories are renormalizable and asymptotically free.…
The renormalization-group (RG) flow in the finite-temperature (2+1)-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model is explored. This is done in the limit when the squared electric coupling constant is much larger than the mass of the Higgs field. The…
We study flow of renormalization group (RG) transformations for the massless Gross-Neveu model in a non-perturbative formulation. The model is defined on a d=2 dimensional Euclidean space with a finite volume. The quadratic approximation to…
We show an application of the Wilson Renormalization Group (RG) method to a SU(2 ) gauge field theory in interaction with a massive fermionic doublet. By choosing suitable boundary conditions to the RG equation, i.e. by requiring the…
We investigate the renormalization group (RG) flow of SU(3) lattice gauge theory in a two coupling space with couplings $\beta_{11}$ and $\beta_{12}$ corresponding to $1\times 1$ and $1\times 2$ loops respectively. Extensive numerical…
A connection modulo gauge symmetry on the trivial principal bundle $M\times G$ is a morphism from the loop group of $M$ into $G$. Thus, considering only loops around the 2-cells of a distinguished family of progressively refined cellular…
We suggest a new, renormalization group (RG) based, nonperturbative method for treating the intermittency problem of fully developed turbulence which also includes the effects of a finite boundary of the turbulent flow. The key idea is not…
We discuss the non-perturbative renormalization group evolution of the gauge coupling constant by using a truncated form of the functional flow equation for the effective average action of the Yang-Mills-gravity system. Our result is…

The gradient flow bears a close resemblance to the coarse graining, the guiding principle of the renormalization group (RG). In the case of scalar field theory, a precise connection has been made between the gradient flow and the RG flow of…
