The MFA approach for simulations with dynamical fermions in lattice gauge theories allows in principle to explore the parameters space of the theory (e.g. the $\beta, m$ plane for the study of chiral condensate in QED) without the need of…
We study the small-world network model, which mimics the transition between regular-lattice and random-lattice behavior in social networks of increasing size. We contend that the model displays a normal continuous phase transition with a…
The renormalization group is used to improve the effective potential of massive ${\rm O}(N)$ symmetric $\phi^4$ theory. Explicit results are given at the two-loop level.
We compute, both explicitly up to next-to-leading order and in a proof by induction for all loop levels, the critical exponents for thermal Lorentz-violating O($N$) self-interacting scalar field theory. They are evaluated in a massless…
The anisotropic two-layer Ising model is studied by the phenomenological renormalizaiton group method. It is found that the anisotropic two-layer Ising model with symmetric couplings belongs to the same universality class as the two…
We study the critical behavior and phase diagram of the $d$-dimensional random field O(N) model by means of the nonperturbative functional renormalization group approach presented in the preceding paper. We show that the dimensional…
Criticality and symmetry, studied by the renormalization groups, lie at the heart of modern physics theories of matters and complex systems. However, surveying these properties with massive experimental data is bottlenecked by the…
We find that in generic field theories the combined effect of fluctuations and interactions leads to a probability distribution function which describes fractional Brownian Motion (fBM) and ``complex behavior''. To show this we use the…
In these lectures I discuss peculiarities of the critical behaviour of ``non-ideal'' systems as it is explained by the renormalization group approach. Examples considered here include account of the single-ion anisotropy, structural…
Renormalization group methods are applied to a scalar field within a finite, nonlocal quantum field theory formulated perturbatively in Euclidean momentum space. It is demonstrated that the triviality problem in scalar field theory, the…
Complex networks have acquired a great popularity in recent years, since the graph representation of many natural, social and technological systems is often very helpful to characterize and model their phenomenology. Additionally, the…
We discuss renormalization group approaches to strongly interacting Fermi systems, in the context of Landau's theory of Fermi liquids and functional methods, and their application to neutron matter.
In optimal prediction methods one estimates the future behavior of underresolved systems by solving reduced systems of equations for expectations conditioned by partial data; renormalization group methods reduce the number of variables in…
A recently introduced real space renormalization group technique, developed for the analysis of processes in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class, is generalized and tested by applying it to a different family of surface growth…
In the 1960's, four famous scaling relations were developed which relate the six standard critical exponents describing continuous phase transitions in the thermodynamic limit of statistical physics models. They are well understood at a…
In this review paper, we explain how to apply Renormalization Group ideas to the analysis of the long-time asymptotics of solutions of partial differential equations. We illustrate the method on several examples of nonlinear parabolic…
Perturbation theory and renormalization group methods are used to derive a finite-size scaling theory for the partition function zeroes and thermodynamic functions in the $O(n)$ $\phi^4$ model in four dimensions. The leading power--law…
The usual procedure of including a finite number of vertices in Non Perturbative Renormalization Group equations in order to obtain $n$-point correlation functions at finite momenta is analyzed. This is done by exploiting a general method…
We discuss motivation and goals of renormalization analyses of group field theory models of simplicial 4d quantum gravity, and review briefly the status of this research area. We present some new computations of perturbative GFT (spin foam)…
Exact renormalization group techniques are applied to mass deformed N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, viewed as a regularised N=2 model. The solution of the flow equation, in the local potential approximation, reproduces the one-loop…
