We prove the uniform hyperbolicity of the near-parabolic renormalization operators acting on an infinite-dimensional space of holomorphic transformations. This implies the universality of the scaling laws, conjectured by physicists in the…
We realize a dynamical decomposition for a post-critically finite rational map which admits a combinatorial decomposition. We split the Riemann sphere into two completely invariant subsets. One is a subset of the Julia set consisting of…
We formulate and prove $\textit{a priori}$ bounds for the renormalization of H\'enon-like maps (under certain regularity assumptions). This provides a certain uniform control on the small-scale geometry of the dynamics, and ensures…
Using a renormalization method, we study the critical behavior for intermittency in two coupled one-dimensional (1D) maps. We find two fixed maps of the renormalization transformation. They all have common relevant eigenvalues associated…
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…
The locations of multicritical points on many hierarchical lattices are numerically investigated by the renormalization group analysis. The results are compared with an analytical conjecture derived by using the duality, the gauge symmetry…
There has been much progress in recent years in understanding the existence problem for wave maps with small critical Sobolev norm (in particular for two-dimensional wave maps with small energy); a key aspect in that theory has been a…
The critical behavior for intermittency is studied in two coupled one-dimensional (1D) maps. We find two fixed maps of an approximate renormalization operator in the space of coupled maps. Each fixed map has a common relavant eigenvaule…
A renormalization scheme is introduced to study quantum Anosov maps (QAMs) on a torus for general boundary conditions (BCs), whose number ($k$) is always finite. It is shown that the quasienergy eigenvalue problem of a QAM for {\em all} $k$…
This application of renormalization techniques offers a modern take on the classical Arbelos geometry problem. Keeping within the context of the original problem, two semicircles, meeting at chord T, are together circumscribed by a third…
We introduce the concept of 2-cyclicity for families of one-dimensional maps with a non-hyperbolic fixed point by analogy to the cyclicity for families of planar vector fields with a weak focus. This new concept is useful in order to study…
We define a hyperbolic renormalizations suitable for maps of small determinant, with uniform bounds for large periods. The techniques involve an improvement of the celebrated Palis-Takens renormalization and normal forms (fibered…
We study two--loop renormalization in $(2+\epsilon)$--dimensional quantum gravity. As a first step towards the full calculation, we concentrate on the divergences which are proportional to the number of matter fields. We calculate the…
We prove that two topologically conjugate bi-critical circle maps whose signatures are the same, and whose renormalizations converge together exponentially fast in the $C^2$-topology, are $C^1$ conjugate.
Matrix models of 2D quantum gravity are either exactly solvable for matter of central charge $ c\leq 1, $ or not understood. It would be useful to devise an approximate scheme which would be reasonable for the known cases and could be…
We prove the existence of fixed points of p-tupling renormalization operators for interval and circle mappings having a critical point of arbitrary real degree r > 1. Some properties of the resulting maps are studied: analyticity,…
We describe a new and robust method to prove rigidity results in complex dynamics. The new ingredient is the geometry of the critical puzzle pieces: under control of geometry and ``complex bounds'', two generalized polynomial-like maps…
Two-loop renormalization group equations in gauge theories with multiple U(1) groups are presented. Instead of normalizing the abelian gauge fields in canonical forms, we retain kinetic-mixing terms and treat the mixing coefficients as free…
The boundary of the Siegel disk of a quadratic polynomial with an irrationally indifferent fixed point with the golden mean rotation number has been observed to be self-similar. The geometry of this self-similarity is universal for a large…
The renormalization of a quadratic-like map is studied. The three-dimensional Yoccoz puzzle for an infinitely renormalizable quadratic-like map is discussed. For an unbranched quadratic-like map having the {\sl a priori} complex bounds, the…
