I present a sequence of non-perturbative approximate solutions for scalar $\phi^4$ theory for arbitrary interaction strength, which contains, but allows to systematically improve on, the familiar mean-field approximation. This sequence of…
The non-perturbative autonomous renormalization of the scalar $\Phi^4$-model is applied in the framework of stochastic quantization. I show that this requires a selective, momentum-dependent renormalization of the Onsager coefficient…
We propose to apply the two-particle irreducible (2PI) formalism to the problem of thermalization in heavy-ion collisions in the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) picture. We consider the 2PI effective action to three loops and derive a set of…
We discuss the formulation of "thermal renormalization group-equations" and their application to the finite temperature phase-transition of scalar O(N)-theories. Thermal renormalization group-equations allow for a computation of both the…
Let $A$ be a finite set and $\phi:A^Z\to R$ be a locally constant potential. For each $\beta>0$ ("inverse temperature"), there is a unique Gibbs measure $\mu_{\beta\phi}$. We prove that, as $\beta\to+\infty$, the family…

We introduce a novel method for the renormalization of the Hamiltonian operator in Quantum Field Theory in the spirit of the Wilson renormalization group. By a series of unitary transformations that successively decouples the high-frequency…
A renormalization scheme for interacting fermionic systems is presented where the renormalization is carried out in terms of the fermionic degrees of freedom. The scheme is based on continuous unitary transformations of the hamiltonian…
We examine several resummation methods for computing higher order corrections to the finite temperature effective potential, in the context of a scalar $\phi^4$ theory. We show by explicit calculation to four loops that dressing the…

We present a viable method to obtain real-time quantities such as spectral functions or transport coefficients at finite temperature and density within a non-perturbative Functional Renormalization Group approach. Our method is based on a…
We derive an alternative to the Wetterich-Morris-Ellwanger equation by means of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action, exploiting the method of external sources due to Garbrecht and Millington. The latter allows the two-point…
We propose a framework for calculating two-loop Feynman diagrams which appear within a renormalizable theory in the general mass case and at finite external momenta. Our approach is a combination of analytical results and of high accuracy…

A short survey of the renormalization problem in QCD and its non-perturbative solution by means of numerical simulations on the lattice is given. Most emphasis is on scale dependent renormalizations, which can be reliably addressed via a…
We perform a detailed analysis of renormalization at one-loop order in the $\lambda\phi^4$ theory with Robin boundary condition (characterized by a constant $c$) on a single plate at $z=0$. For arbitrary $c\geq0$ the renormalized theory is…
In this paper, we study O(2N)-symmetric $\phi^4$-theory at finite temperature and density using the 2PI-1/N expansion. As specific examples, we consider pion condensation at finite isospin chemical potential and kaon condensation at finite…
