Wilson's original formulation of the renormalization group is perturbative in nature. We here present an alternative derivation of the infinitesimal momentum shell RG, akin to the Wegner and Houghton scheme, that is a priori exact. We show…
We show that general cutoff scalar field theories in four dimensions are perturbatively renormalizable through the use of diagrammatic techniques and an adapted BPH renormalization method. Weinberg's convergence theorem is used to show that…
We describe how the fermionic functional renormalization group (fRG) flow of a Cooper+forward scattering problem can be continued into the superconducting state. This allows us to reproduce from the fRG flow the fundamental equations of the…
We derive a supersymmetric renormalization group (RG) equation for the scale-dependent superpotential of the supersymmetric O(N) model in three dimensions. For a supersymmetric optimized regulator function we solve the RG equation for the…
We formulate a perturbation expansion for the effective action in a new approach to the functional renormalization group method based on the concept of composite fields for regulator functions being their most essential ingredients. We…
These introductory notes are about functional renormalization group equations and some of their applications. It is emphasised that the applicability of this method extends well beyond critical systems, it actually provides us a general…
The Wilson Green's function approach and, alternatively, Feynman's diffusion equation and the Hori representation have been used to derive an exact functional RG equation (EFRGE) that in the course of the RG flow interpolates between the…
Numerous correlated electron systems exhibit a strongly scale-dependent behavior. Upon lowering the energy scale, collective phenomena, bound states, and new effective degrees of freedom emerge. Typical examples include (i) competing…
This article provides a Wilsonian description of the perturbatively renormalizable Tensorial Group Field Theory introduced in arXiv:1303.6772 [hep-th] (Commun. Math. Phys. 330, 581-637). It is a rank-3 model based on the gauge group SU(2),…
We study the scaling behaviors of the active model B+ using the functional renormalization group (FRG) approach, based on the nonequilibrium effective action formulated via the Martin-Siggia-Rose path-integral formalism. We derive the…
We show that the so-called Phi-derivable approximations can be combined with the exact renormalization group to provide efficient non-perturbative approximation schemes. On the one hand, the Phi-derivable approximations allow for a simple…
We present a functional renormalization group (fRG) formalism for interacting fermions on lattices that captures the flow into states with commensurate spin-density wave order. During the flow, the growth of the order parameter is fed back…
We study two classes of extension problems, and their interconnections: (i) Extension of positive definite (p.d.) continuous functions defined on subsets in locally compact groups $G$; (ii) In case of Lie groups, representations of the…
The Polchinski version of the exact renormalization group equation is discussed and its applications in scalar and fermionic theories are reviewed. Relation between this approach and the standard renormalization group is studied, in…
We compare and discuss the dependence of a polynomial truncation of the effective potential used to solve exact renormalization group flow equation for a model with fermionic interaction (linear sigma model) with a grid solution. The…
We investigate the convergence of the derivative expansion of the exact renormalisation group, by using it to compute the beta function of scalar theory. We demonstrate that the derivative expansion of the Polchinski flow equation converges…
According to the available publications, the field theoretical renormalization group (RG) approach in the two-dimensional case gives the critical exponents that differ from the known exact values. This fact was attempted to explain by the…
The effective field theory of large-scale structure allows for a consistent perturbative bias expansion of the rest-frame galaxy density field. In this work, we present a systematic approach to renormalize galaxy bias and stochastic…
Nontrivial fixed points of the hierarchical renormalization group are computed by numerically solving a system of quadratic equations for the coupling constants. This approach avoids a fine tuning of relevant parameters. We study the…
We apply Renormalization Group techniques to the Real Time formulation of thermal field theory. Due to the separation between the $T=0$ and the $T\neq 0$ parts of the propagator in this formalism, one can derive exact evolution equations…
