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.
Exact Renormalization Group techniques are applied to supersymmetric models in order to get some insights into the low energy effective actions of such theories. Starting from the ultra-violet finite mass deformed N=4 supersymmetric…
We discuss the Sudakov form factor in the framework of the soft-collinear effective theory. The running of the short distance coefficient function from high to low scale gives the summation of Sudakov logarithms to all orders. Our…
In effective field theories, the concept of renormalization of perturbative divergences is replaced by renormalization group concepts such as relevance and universality. Universality is related to cutoff scheme independence in…
We propose and study a renormalization group transformation that can be used also for models with strong quenched disorder, like spin glasses. The method is based on a mapping between disorder distributions, chosen such as to keep some…
The renormalization of higher-dimensional operators in quantum field theory is essential for phenomenological analyses in particle physics, and plays a significant role in the study of critical phenomena. We present a framework for…
Wilson's approach to renormalization group is reanalyzed for supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Usual demonstration of exact renormalization group equation must be modified due to the presence of the so called Konishi anomaly under the…
A novel information-theoretic method for reconstruction of interaction networks is introduced. We prove that the method is exact for some class of networks. Performance tests on large synthetic transcriptional regulatory networks produce…
"Preprint" of paper from 1989 that wasn't arxiv'ed at the time. Abstract: Our understanding of quantum field theories, and, in particular, of renomalization has changed radically in recent years; renormalization is no longer a deeply…
Perturbative renormalization group theory is developed as a unified tool for global asymptotic analysis. With numerous examples, we illustrate its application to ordinary differential equation problems involving multiple scales, boundary…
Renormalization is a powerful technique in statistical physics to extract the large-scale behavior of interacting many-body models. These notes aim to give an introduction to perturbative methods that operate on the level of the stochastic…
The QED renormalization is restudied by using a mass-dependent subtraction which is performed at a time-like renormalization point. The subtraction exactly respects necessary physical and mathematical requirements such as the gauge…
For theories with multiple couplings we construct simple expressions for the four-dimensional (or, in general, integer-dimensional) renormalization constants assuming that all divergences are logarithmical. These expressions allow relating…
Recent approaches to quark confinement are reviewed, with an emphasis on their connection to renormalization group methods. Basic concepts related to confinement are introduced: the string tension, Wilson loops and Polyakov lines, string…
We present, in the context of dimensional regularization, a prescription to renormalize Feynman diagrams with an arbitrary number of external fermions. This prescription, which is based on the original t'Hooft-Veltman proposal to keep…
We introduce a new class of effective interactions to be used within the energy-density-functional approaches. They are based on regularized zero-range interactions and constitute a consistent application of the effective-theory methodology…
We use two renormalization techniques, Effective Field Theory and the Similarity Renormalization Group, to solve simple Schr{\"o}dinger equations with delta-function potentials in one and two dimensions. The familiar one-dimensional…
A unified S-matrix framework of quantum singular interactions is presented for the comparison of self-adjoint extensions and physical renormalization. For the long-range conformal interaction the two methods are not equivalent, with…
The purpose of this paper is (i) to present a generic and fully functional implementation of the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm, and (ii) to describe how to write additional strongly-correlated electron models and…
Renormalization plays an important role in the theoretically and mathematically careful analysis of models in condensed-matter physics. I review selected results about correlated-fermion systems, ranging from mathematical theorems to…
