While the coherent potential approximation (CPA) is the prevalent method for the study of disordered electronic systems, it fails to capture non-local correlations and Anderson localization. To incorporate such effects, we extend the dual…
We review the Exact Renormalization Group equations of Wegner and Houghton in an approximation which permits both numerical and analytical studies of nonperturbative renormalization flows. We obtain critical exponents numerically and with…
Effective critical exponents for the \lambda \phi^4 scalar field theory are calculated as a function of the renormalization group block size k_o^{-1} and inverse critical temperature \beta_c. Exact renormalization group equations are…
The coherent potential approximation (CPA) is extended to describe satisfactorily the motion of particles in a random potential which is spatially correlated and smoothly varying. In contrast to existing cluster-CPA methods, the present…
We extend the single-site coherent potential approximation (CPA) to include the effects of non-local disorder correlations (alloy short-range order) on the electronic structure of random alloy systems. This is achieved by mapping the…
The conventional absence of field renormalization in the local potential approximation (LPA) --implying a zero value of the critical exponent \eta -- is shown to be incompatible with the logic of the derivative expansion of the exact…

Rigidity transitions induced by the formation of system-spanning disordered rigid clusters, like the jamming transition, can be well-described in most physically relevant dimensions by mean-field theories. A dynamical mean-field theory…
We newly develop a renormalization group (RG) improvement for thermally resummed effective potentials. In this method, $\beta$-functions are consistently defined in resummed perturbation theories, so that order-by-order RG invariance is not…
We present a general framework for understanding and analyzing critical behaviour in gravitational collapse. We adopt the method of renormalization group, which has the following advantages. (1) It provides a natural explanation for various…
