We analyse 4-dimensional massive $\vp^4$ theory at finite temperature T in the imaginary-time formalism. We present a rigorous proof that this quantum field theory is renormalizable, to all orders of the loop expansion. Our main point is to…
Functional renormalization yields a simple unified description of bosons at zero temperature, in arbitrary space dimension $d$ and for $M$ complex fields. We concentrate on nonrelativistic bosons and an action with a linear time derivative.…
A new renormalization scheme for theories with nontrivial internal symmetry is proposed. The scheme is regularization independent and respects the symmetry requirements.
In cosmic inflation, non-linearities of the curvature perturbation can induce backreaction to the background. To obtain observational predictions at non-linear order on the correct background, one has to redefine the background or introduce…
According to resummed perturbation theory, certain scalar theories have a global symmetry, which is restored in the vacuum but is broken at high temperatures. Recently, this phenomenon has been studied with 4d finite temperature lattice…
We study a recently proposed quantum action depending on temperature. We construct a renormalisation group equation describing the flow of action parameters with temperature. At zero temperature the quantum action is obtained analytically…
We newly develop a renormalization group (RG) improvement for thermally resummed effective potentials. In this method, $\beta$-functions are consistently defined in resummed perturbation theories, so that order-by-order RG invariance is not…
We generalize a previously proposed renormalization and computation scheme for nonequilibrium dynamics to include finite temperature and one-loop selfconsistency as arising in the large-N limit. Since such a scheme amounts essentially to…
Symmetry restoration in a theory of a self-interacting charged scalar field at finite temperature and in the presence of an external magnetic field is examined. The effective potential is evaluated nonperturbatively in the context of the…
We consider an open quantum system in contact with fermionic metallic reservoirs in a nonequilibrium setup. For the case of spin, orbital or potential fluctuations, we present a systematic formulation of real-time renormalization group at…
Resummations of infinite sets of higher-order perturbative contributions are often needed both in thermal field theory and at zero temperature. For instance, the behaviour of the Standard Model (SM) effective potential extrapolated to very…
This letter announces and summarizes results obtained in arXiv:1111.5051 and considers several natural extensions. The aforementioned paper proposes a procedure to reconstruct coefficients in a second-order, scalar, elliptic equation from…
I argue that the consistency of any resummation method can be established if the method follows a power counting derived from a hierarchy of scales. I.e., whether it encodes a top-down effective field theory. This resolves much confusion…
This paper is devoted to the study of source reconstruction algorithms for coupled systems of heat equations, with either constant or spatially dependent coupling terms, where internal measurements are available from a reduced number of…
While it is possible to find examples of field theories with a spontaneously broken symmetry at high temperature, in renormalizable supersymmetric models any internal symmetry gets always restored. Recently, a counterexample was suggested…
We review our recent results on the renormalization procedure for a free quantum scalar field with modified dispersion relations in curved spacetimes. For dispersion relations containing up to $2s$ powers of the spatial momentum, the…

We discuss the renormalization of the initial value problem in Nonequilibrium Quantum Field Theory within a simple, yet instructive, example and show how to obtain a renormalized time evolution for the two-point functions of a scalar field…
We study some analytical properties of the solutions of the non perturbative renormalization group flow equations for a scalar field theory with $Z_2$ symmetry in the ordered phase, i.e. at temperatures below the critical temperature. The…
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…
