The gradient flow in non-abelian gauge theories on R^4 is defined by a local diffusion equation that evolves the gauge field as a function of the flow time in a gauge-covariant manner. Similarly to the case of the Langevin equation, the…
We introduce a new family of tensorial field theories by coupling different fields in a non-trivial way, with a view towards the investigation of the coupling between matter and gravity in the quantum regime. As a first step, we consider…
I review some open problems on the ever-growing field of non-equilibrium phase transitions, paying special attention to the formulation of such problems in terms of Langevin equations or, equivalently, field-theoretical descriptions, and…
We discuss here phase transitions in quantum field theory in the context of vacuum realignment through an explicit construction. Vacuum destabilisation may occur through a scalar attaining a nonzero expectation value, or through a…
The aim of these notes is to provide a short introduction to supersymmetric theories: supersymmetric quantum mechanics, Wess-Zumino models and supersymmetric gauge theories. A particular emphasis is put on the underlying structures and…
Different perturbation theory treatments of the Ginzburg-Landau phase transition model are discussed. This includes a criticism of the perturbative renormalization group (RG) approach and a proposal of a novel method providing critical…
Continuous normalizing flows are known to be highly expressive and flexible, which allows for easier incorporation of large symmetries and makes them a powerful computational tool for lattice field theories. Building on previous work, we…
We review the rigorous work on many Fermions models which lead to the first constructions of interacting Fermi liquids in two dimensions, and allowed to prove that there are different scaling regimes in two dimensions, depending on the…
We review the application of field-theoretic renormalization group (RG) methods to the study of fluctuations in reaction-diffusion problems. We first investigate the physical origin of universality in these systems, before comparing RG…
The first renormalisable quantum field theories on non-commutative space have been found recently. We review this rapidly growing subject.
We initiate the continuum description of a non-perturbative 5d lattice Yang-Mills model with 4d boundaries using the $\varepsilon$-expansion. In its simplest version classically the bulk has an $SU(2)$ gauge symmetry and on the boundary…
We use functional renormalization group methods to study gravity minimally coupled to a free scalar field. This setup provides the prototype of a gravitational theory which is perturbatively non-renormalizable at one-loop level, but may…
In this thesis we study some non perturbative aspects of gauge theories. We give particular emphasis on the understanding of dual confinement of magnetic monopoles by using flux tube configurations.
The renormalization group plays an essential role in many areas of physics, both conceptually and as a practical tool to determine the long-distance low-energy properties of many systems on the one hand and on the other hand search for…
The renormalization group method developed by Ken Wilson more than four decades ago has revolutionized the way we think about problems involving a broad range of energy scales such as phase transitions, turbulence, continuum limits and…
The phase transition to superfluidity and the BCS-BEC crossover for an ultracold gas of fermionic atoms is discussed within a functional renormalization group approach. Non-perturbative flow equations, based on an exact renormalization…
The functional renormalization group flow of a scalar field theory with quartic couplings and a sharp spatial momentum cutoff is presented in four-dimensional Minkowski space-time for the bare action by retaining the entanglement of the IR…
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 asymptotic high momentum behaviour of quantum field theories with cubic interactions is investigated using renormalization group techniques in the asymmetric limit x << 1. Particular emphasis is paid to theories with interactions…
