We study renormalization group flows between six-dimensional superconformal field theories (SCFTs) using their geometric realizations as singular limits of F-theory compactified on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds. There are two…
We construct the a-function of [1] for general F-term perturbations of a 3+1 dimensional N=1 SCFT. We use this construction to argue that the central charge a always decreases along the corresponding RG flows, and discuss some other…
There is considerable experimental evidence for the existence in Quantum Hall systems of an approximate emergent discrete symmetry, $\Gamma_0(2) \subset SL(2,Z)$. The evidence consists of the robustness of the tests of a suite a predictions…
In 2+1-dimensions (2+1D), a gapped quantum phase with no symmetry (i.e. a topological order) can have a thermal Hall conductance $\kappa_{xy}=c \frac{\pi^2 k_B^2}{3h}T$, where the dimensionless $c$ is called chiral central charge. If there…
Tseytlin has recently proposed that an action functional exists whose gradient generates to all orders in perturbation theory the Renormalization Group (RG) flow of the target space metric in the worldsheet sigma model. The gradient is…
We introduce two properties: strong R-property and $C(q)$-property, describing a special way of divergence of nearby trajectories for an abstract measure preserving system. We show that systems satisfying the strong R-property are disjoint…
We present a direct numerical evidence for reflection symmetry of longitudinal resistivity $\rho_{xx}$ and quantized Hall resistivity $\rho_{xy}$ near the transition between $\nu=1$ quantum Hall state and insulator, in accord with the…
Reynolds similitude, a key concept in hydrodynamics, states that two phenomena of different length scales with a similar geometry are physically identical. Flow properties are universally determined in a unified way in terms of the Reynolds…
The exact renormalization group is used to study the RG flow of quantities in field theories. The basic idea is to write an evolution operator for the flow and evaluate it in perturbation theory. This is easier than directly solving the…
Dynamical scaling analysis is theoretically performed for the ac (optical) Hall conductivity $\sigma_{xy}(\varepsilon_F,\omega)$ as a function of Fermi energy $\varepsilon_F$ and frequency $\omega$ for the two-dimensional electron gas and…
We study the renormalization group flow of unitary Quantum Field Theories on two-dimensional de Sitter (dS) spacetime. We prove the existence of two functions of the radius of dS that interpolate between the central charges of the UV and IR…
We construct the holographic renormalization group (RG) flow of thermo-electric conductivities when the translational symmetry is broken. The RG flow is probed by the intrinsic observers hovering on the sliding radial membranes. We obtain…
The effective field theory of the Calogero-Sutherland model represents a universality class of quantum hydrodynamic fluids in one spatial dimension. It describes quantum compressible fluids involving both chiralities in which the chiral…
The target space of the non-linear $\sigma$-model is a Riemannian manifold. Although it can be any Riemannian metric, there are certain physically interesting geometries which are worth to study. Here, we numerically evolve the…
By using Renormalization Group methods we analyze the description of the Quantum Hall Fluid in terms of a dual plasma with dyons as effective degrees of freedom. The physical interpretation of the parameters of the model as the longitudinal…
We present a microscopic model for calculating the AC conductivity of a finite length line junction made up of two counter or co-propagating single mode quantum Hall edges with possibly different filling fractions. The effect of…
Interpreting renormalization group flows as solitons interpolating between different fixed points, we ask various questions that are normally asked in soliton physics but not in renormalization theory. Can one count RG flows? Are there…
The RG flow equation of various transport quantities are studied in arbitrary spacetime dimensions, in the fixed as well as fluctuating background geometry both for the Maxwellian and DBI type of actions. The regularity condition on the…
Conventional wisdom holds that static disorder is indispensable to the integer quantum Hall effect, underpinning both quantized plateaus and the plateau-plateau transition. We show that pure dephasing, without elastic disorder, is…
In the first part of this paper we will work out a close and so far not yet noticed correspondence between the swampland approach in quantum gravity and geometric flow equations in general relativity, most notably the Ricci flow. We…
