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…
The Jaynes-Cummings model is a cornerstone of light-matter interactions. While finite, the model provides an illustrative example of renormalisation in perturbation theory. We show, however, that exact renormalisation reveals a rich…

We study the algebraic renormalization of $N=2$ Supersymmetric Yang--Mills theories coupled to matter. A regularization procedure preserving both the BRS invariance and the supersymmetry is not known yet, therefore it is necessary to adopt…
