Many generative models originally developed in finite-dimensional Euclidean space have functional generalizations in infinite-dimensional settings. However, the extension of rectified flow to infinite-dimensional spaces remains unexplored.…

The effective action formalism introduced by Vilkovisky and later modified by DeWitt is completely covariant suitable for obtaining an effective action that is independent of the parametrization of the quantum fields. Among a few basic…

We discuss a two-point particle irreducible (2PPI) approach to many-body physics which relies on a renormalization group (RG) flow equation for the associated effective action. In particular, the general structure and properties of this RG…
