The renormalization group flow in two-dimensional field theories that are coupled to gravity has unusual features: First, the flow equations are second order in derivatives. Second, in the presence of handles the flow has quantum mechanical…
We show how a large class of boundary RG flows in two-dimensional conformal field theories can be summarized in a single rule. This rule is a generalization of the 'absorption of the boundary spin'-principle of Affleck and Ludwig and…
Following an approach of Matarrese and Pietroni, we derive the functional renormalization group (RG) flow of the effective action of cosmological large-scale structures. Perturbative solutions of this RG flow equation are shown to be…
The operator-theoretic renormalization group (RG) methods are powerful analytic tools to explore spectral properties of field-theoretical models such as quantum electrodynamics (QED) with non-relativistic matter. In this paper these methods…
We consider generalized gradients in the general context of $G$-structures. They are natural first order differential operators acting on sections of vector bundles associated to irreducible $G$-representations. We study their geometric…
The presence of a boundary (or defect) in a conformal field theory allows one to generalize the notion of an exactly marginal deformation. Without a boundary, one must find an operator of protected scaling dimension $\Delta$ equal to the…
Let $(\mathcal{M},g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold. The $\textit{ second order approximation}$ to the perturbative renormalization group flow for the nonlinear sigma model (RG-2 flow) is given by : \[ \frac{\partial }{\partial t} \, g(t)…
Renormalisation group flows of the bosonic nonlinear \sigma-model are governed, perturbatively, at different orders of \alpha', by the perturbatively evaluated \beta--functions. In regions where \frac{\alpha'}{R_c^2} << 1 the flow equations…
Classifier-free guidance (CFG) is the workhorse for steering large diffusion models toward text-conditioned targets, yet its native application to rectified flow (RF) based models provokes severe off-manifold drift, yielding visual…
We use the RG framework set up in arXiv:2009.10087 to explore the $\phi^3$ theory with a random field interaction. According to the Parisi-Sourlas conjecture this theory admits a fixed point with emergent supersymmetry which is related to…
We investigate the correlators in unitary minimal conformal models coupled to two-dimensional gravity from the two-matrix model. We show that simple fusion rules for all of the scaling operators exist. We demonstrate the role played by the…
Motivated by the search for solvable string theories, we consider the problem of classifying the integrable bosonic 2d $\sigma$-models. We include non-conformal $\sigma$-models, which have historically been a good arena for discovering…
We discuss the interplay between IR and UV divergences in vacuum configurations with open and unoriented strings. We establish a general one-to-one correspondence between anomalies and R-R tadpoles associated to sectors with non-trivial…
We consider the local kinematics at fluid interfaces in two-phase flows within the sharp interface framework. In the considered case with phase change and slip at the interface, the governing velocity field is discontinuous at the phase…
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 derive a system of coupled flow equations for the proper-vertices of the background effective average action and we give an explicit representation of these by means of diagrammatic and momentum space techniques. This explicit…
We consider two laminar incompressible flows coupled by the continuous law at a fixed interface. We approach the system by one that satisfies a friction Navier law, and we show that when the friction coefficient goes to infinity, the…
Interactions between an evolving solid and inviscid flow can result in substantial computational complexity, particularly in circumstances involving varied boundary conditions between the solid and fluid phases. Examples of such…
Complex systems with many degrees of freedom are typically intractable, but some of their behaviors may admit simpler effective descriptions. The question of when such effective descriptions are possible remains open. The paradigmatic…
We propose defect lines as a useful tool to study bulk perturbations of conformal field theories, in particular to analyse the induced renormalisation group flows of boundary conditions. As a concrete example we investigate bulk…
