Two proofs of the Central Limit Theorem using a renormalization group approach are presented. The first proof is conducted under a third moment assumption and shows that a suitable renormalization group map is a contraction over the space…
We model quantum space-time on the Planck scale as dynamical networks of elementary relations or time dependent random graphs, the time dependence being an effect of the underlying dynamical network laws. We formulate a kind of geometric…
We give a comprehensive review of the renormalization group method for global and asymptotic analysis, putting an emphasis on the relevance to the classical theory of envelopes and the existence of invariant manifolds of the dynamics under…
We show how the renormalons emerge from the renormalization group equation with a priori no reference to any Feynman diagrams. The proof is rather given by recasting the renormalization group equation as a resurgent equation studied in the…
The free energy of the Coulomb Gap problem is expanded as a set of Feynman diagrams, using the standard diagrammatic methods of perturbation theory. The gap in the one-particle density of states due to long-ranged interactions corresponds…
A replica-symmetry-breaking phase transition is predicted in a host of disordered media. The criticality of the transition has, however, long been questioned below its upper critical dimension, six, due to the absence of a critical fixed…
In the past two decades or so, we have learned how to understand crackling noise in a wide variety of systems. We review here the basic ideas and methods we use to understand crackling noise - critical phenomena, universality, the…
The critical behavior of three-state statistical models invariant under the full symmetry group $S_3$ and its dependence on space dimension have been a matter of interest and debate. In particular, the phase transition of the 3-state Potts…
The renormalization group (RG) in statistical physics focuses on ground-state properties of equilibrium systems. However, it is unclear how it should be generalized to nonunitary quantum dynamics caused by dissipation and measurement…
We review the asymptotic safety scenario for quantum gravity and the role and implications of an underlying ultraviolet fixed point. We discuss renormalisation group techniques employed in the fixed point search, analyse the main picture at…
Quantum field theories require a cutoff to regulate divergences that result from local interactions, and yet physical results can not depend on the value of this cutoff. The renormalization group employs a transformation that changes the…
On the basis of the classical theory of envelopes, we formulate the renormalization group (RG) method for global analysis, recently proposed by Goldenfeld et al. It is clarified why the RG equation improves things.
We report on the nature of the thermal denaturation transition of homogeneous DNA as determined from a renormalisation group analysis of the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois model. Our approach is based on an analogy with the phenomenon of critical…
We apply the non-perturbative renormalization group method to a class of out-of-equilibrium phase transitions (usually called ``parity conserving'' or, more properly, ``generalized voter'' class) which is out of the reach of perturbative…
We study exact renormalization group equations in the framework of the effective average action. We present analytical approximate solutions for the scale dependence of the potential in a variety of models. These solutions display a rich…
A perturbative renormalization group is formulated for the study of Hamiltonian light-front field theory near a critical Gaussian fixed point. The only light-front renormalization group transformations found that can be approximated by…
Effective potential for scalar $\lambda\phi^4$ theory is obtained using the exact renormalization group method which includes both the usual one-loop contribution as well as the dominant higher loop effects. Our numerical calculation…
The so-called renormalization group (RG) method is applied to derive kinetic and transport equations from the respective microscopic equations. The derived equations include Boltzmann equation in classical mechanics, Fokker-Planck equation,…
I give an outline of recent applications of the renormalisation group to effective theories of nuclear forces, focussing on the use of a Wilsonian approach to analyse systems of two or three nonrelativistic particles.
We discuss an environmentally friendly renormalization group approach to analyze phase transitions. We intend to apply this method to the Electroweak Phase Transition. This work is in progress. We present some previously obtained results…
