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…
We perform a detailed analysis of the predictions of resummed perturbation theory for the pressure and the second-, fourth-, and sixth-order diagonal quark number susceptibilities in a hot and dense quark-gluon plasma. First, we present an…
The optimized linear $\delta$-expansion is applied to the $\lambda \phi^4$ theory at high temperature. Using the imaginary time formalism the thermal mass is evaluated perturbatively up to order $\delta^2$. A variational procedure…
To resum large logarithms in multi-scale problems a generalization of $\MS$ is introduced allowing for as many renormalization scales as there are generic scales in the problem. In the new \lq\lq minimal multi-scale subtraction scheme''…
A resummed perturbative expansion is used to obtain the self-energy in the high-temperature \(g^2\phi^4\) field theory model up to order $g^4$. From this the zero momentum pole of the effective propagator is evaluated to determine the…
Relying on the Luttinger-Ward theorem we derive a thermodynamically selfconsistent and scale independent approximation of the thermodynamic potential for the scalar $\phi^4$ theory in the tadpole approximation. The resulting thermodynamic…
We present the main ideas and techniques of the proof that the duality-covariant four-dimensional noncommutative \phi^4-model is renormalisable to all orders. This includes the reformulation as a dynamical matrix model, the solution of the…
We use nonequilibrium renormalization group (RG) techniques to analyze the thermalization process in quantum field theory, and by extension reheating after inflation. Even if at a high scale $\Lambda$ the theory is described by a…
A phenomenological 2D model, simulating the martensitic transformation, is built upon existing experimental observations that the size of the formed plates -in direct transformation- decreases as the temperature is lowered; then they…
We discuss the renormalizability of Phi-derivable approximations in scalar phi^4 theory in four dimensions. The formalism leads to self-consistent equations for the 2-point and the 4-point functions which are plagued by ultraviolet…
The previously developed renormalizable perturbative 1/N-expansion in higher dimensional scalar field theories is extended to gauge theories with fermions. It is based on the $1/N_f$-expansion and results in a logarithmically divergent…
We present an analytical and numerical study of scalar phi^4 theory at finite temperature with a renormalized 2-loop truncation of the 2PI effective action.
Irreversibility theorems -- such as the $A$-theorem -- establish a hierarchy among fixed points of the renormalization group flow. The strongest thesis of this type of theorems would be that there exists a scalar function $A$ (generally…
The perturbative renormalization group(RG) equation is applied to resum divergent series of perturbative wave functions of quantum anharmonic oscillator. It is found that the resummed series gives the cumulant of the naive perturbation…
We demonstrate how the fundamental supersymmetric theory at high energy scales can be reconstructed using precision data expected at future high energy collider experiments. We have studied a set of representative examples in this context:…
The general prescription for constructing the continuum limit of a field theory is explained using Wilson's renormalization group. We then formulate the renormalization group in perturbation theory and apply it to the four dimensional phi4…
It is pointed out that models with condensates have nontrivial renormalization group flow on the tree level. The infinitesimal form of the tree level renormalization group equation is obtained and solved numerically for the phi4 model in…
It is by now well known that symmetries may be broken at high temperature. However,in renormalizable supersymmetric theories any internal symmetry gets always restored. In nonrenormalizable theories the situation is far less simple. We…
The quark contribution to the QCD pressure, $P_q$, is evaluated up to next-to-leading order (NLO) within the renormalization group optimized perturbation theory (RGOPT) resummation approach. To evaluate the complete QCD pressure we simply…
