These lectures illustrate the key ideas of modern renormalization theory and effective field theories in the context of simple nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and the Schr\"odinger equation. They also discuss problems in QED, QCD and…

We investigate the one-loop effective action for a test scalar field in a general Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) background, specifically focusing on quantum corrections up to the second order in the interaction strength. By…
We use field theoretic renormalization group methods to study the critical behavior of a recently proposed Langevin equation for driven lattice gases under infinitely fast drive. We perform an expansion around the upper critical dimension,…
The vNRQCD Lagrangian for colored heavy scalar fields in the fundamental representation of QCD and the renormalization group analysis of the corresponding operators are presented. The results are an important ingredient for renormalization…
We formulate a field theory for resonantly interacting anyons, that enables us to perform a perturbative calculation near the fermionic limit. We derive renormalization group equations for three-body and four-body couplings at one-loop…
We develop a simple non-perturbative approach to the calculation of a field theory effective potential that is based on the Wilson or exact renormalization group. Our approach follows Shepard et al's idea [Phys. Rev. D51, 7017 (1995)] of…
Chiral perturbation theory is extended to nonrelativistic systems with spontaneously broken symmetry. In the effective Lagrangian, order parameters associated with the generators of the group manifest themselves as effective coupling…
A new strategy is presented for systematically treating super-leading logarithmic contributions including higher-order Glauber exchanges for non-global LHC observables in renormalization-group (RG) improved perturbation theory. This…
Nonlocal effective interactions are inherent to non-relativistic quantum many-body systems, but their systematic resummation poses a significant challenge known as the ``vertex problem" in many-body perturbation theory. We introduce a…
A perturbative description of Large Scale Structure is a cornerstone of our understanding of the observed distribution of matter in the universe. Renormalization is an essential and defining step to make this description physical and…
We introduce tropical scalar field theory as a model for renormalizable quantum field theory, and examine in detail the case of quartic self-interaction and internal $O(N)$ symmetry. This model arises in a formally zero-dimensional limit of…
We consider the renormalization of massive vector field interacting with charged scalar field in curved spacetime. Starting with the theory minimally coupled to external gravity and using the formulations with and without St\"uckelberg…
We explore the classical and quantum properties of a sterile scalar field coupled to $N$ copies of Dirac fermions in an external gravitational field. We find that the self-interaction scalar potential of a model that is consistent at the…
We present an exact RG (renormalization group) analysis of $O(N)$-invariant scalar field theory about the Gaussian fixed point. We prove a series of statements that taken together show that the non-polynomial eigen-perturbations found in…
Renormalization Group Equations in integro-differential form describing the evolution of cascades or resumming logarithmic scaling violations have been known in quantum field theory for a long time. These equations have been traditionally…
We consider a theory of scalar and spinor fields, interacting through Yukawa and phi^4 interactions, with Lorentz-violating operators included in the Lagrangian. We compute the leading quantum corrections in this theory. The…
The renormalization group method is a successive integration over the fluctuations which are ordered according to their length scale, a parameter in the external space. A different procedure is described, where the fluctuations are treated…
We present a real space renormalization group scheme for the problem of random walks in a random environment on a strip, which includes one-dimensional random walk in random environment with bounded non-nearest-neighbor jumps. We show that…
Interactions growing slower than a certain exponential of the square of a scalar field, are well behaved when evolved under the functional renormalization group linearised around the Gaussian fixed point. They satisfy properties usually…
