We study stability of the sharp Poincar{\'e} constant of the invariant probability measure of a reversible diffusion process satisfying some natural conditions. The proof is based on the spectral interpretation of Poincar{\'e} inequalities…
The goal of this paper is to push forward the study of those properties of log-concave measures that help to estimate their Poincar{\'e} constant. First we revisit E. Milman's result [40] on the link between weak (Poincar{\'e} or…
The renormalization group (RG) flow for the two-dimensional sine-Gordon model is determined by means of Polchinski's RG equation at next-to-leading order in the derivative expansion. In this work we have two different goals, (i) to consider…
We show that the Poincar\'e constant of a log-concave measure in Euclidean space is monotone increasing along the heat flow. In fact, the entire spectrum of the associated Laplace operator is monotone decreasing. Two proofs of these results…
After analyzing renormalization schemes on a Poincar\'e-Einstein manifold, we study the renormalized integrals of scalar Riemannian invariants. The behavior of the renormalized volume is well-known, and we show any scalar Riemannian…
We establish formulae for the derivative of the Poincar\'e constant of Gibbs measures on both compact domains and all of $\R^d$. As an application, we show that if the (not necessarily convex) Hamiltonian is an increasing function, then the…
This introduction surveys a renormalisation group perspective on log-Sobolev inequalities and related properties of stochastic dynamics. We also explain the relationship of this approach to related recent and less recent developments such…
We establish that Polchinski's equation for exact renormalization group flow is equivalent to the optimal transport gradient flow of a field-theoretic relative entropy. This provides a compelling information-theoretic formulation of the…
Poincar{\'e} inequalities are ubiquitous in probability and analysis and have various applications in statistics (concentration of measure, rate of convergence of Markov chains). The Poincar{\'e} constant, for which the inequality is tight,…
We apply the method of the Renormalization Group (GR), following the Polchinski point of view, to a model of well developed and isotropic fluid turbulence. The Galilei-invariance is preserved and a universal behavior, related to the change…
We introduce Wilson's, or Polchinski's, exact renormalization group, and review the Local Potential Approximation as applied to scalar field theory. Focusing on the Polchinski flow equation, standard methods are investigated, and by…
We establish a strategy for finding sharp upper and lower numerical bounds of the Poincar\'e constant on a class of planar domains with piecewise self-similar boundary. The approach consists of four main components: W1) tight inner-outer…
The irreversibility of the renormalization group flow is conjectured to be closely related to the concept of entropy. In this paper, the variation of eigenvalues of the Laplacian in the Polyakov action under the renormalization group flow…
This note provides a new perspective on Polchinski's exact renormalization group, by explaining how it gives rise, via the multiscale Bakry-\'Emery criterion, to Lipschitz transport maps between Gaussian free fields and interacting quantum…
We investigate the structure of Polchinski's formulation of the flow equations for the continuum Wilson effective action. Reinterpretations in terms of I.R. cutoff greens functions are given. A promising non-perturbative approximation…
Previous studies have shown that, in a diverge-merge network with two intermediate links (the DM network), the kinematic wave model always admits stationary solutions under constant boundary conditions, but periodic oscillations can develop…
Using the renormalization approach proposed by Millis for the itinerant electron systems we calculated the specific heat coefficient $\gamma(T)$ for the magnetic fluctuations with susceptibility $\chi^{-1}\sim |\delta+\omega|^\alpha+f(q)$…
The flow equation approach is a robust framework applicable to a broad class of singular SPDEs, including those with fractional Laplacians, throughout the entire subcritical regime. Inspired by Wilson's renormalization group, this method…
We illustrate how the reorganization of perturbation theory at finite temperature can be economically cast in terms of the Wilson-Polchinski renormalization methods. We take as an example the old saw of the induced thermal mass of a hot…
This paper is the fifth in a series devoted to the development of a rigorous renormalisation group method applicable to lattice field theories containing boson and/or fermion fields, and comprises the core of the method. In the…
