In this paper, we study three dimensional NL$\sigma$Ms within two kind of nonperturbative methods; WRG and large-N expansion. First, we investigate the renormalizability of some NL$\sigma$Ms using WRG equation. We find that some models have…

We advocate a (Wilson) renormalization-group (RG) treatment of finite-temperature first-order phase transitions, in particular those driven by radiative corrections such as occur in the standard model, and other spontaneously-broken gauge…
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…

Renormalisation group approaches are tailor made for resolving the scale-dependence of quantum and statistical systems, and hence their phase structure and critical physics. Usually this advantage comes at the price of having to truncate…

We investigate finite lattice approximations to the Wilson Renormalization Group in models of unconstrained spins. We discuss first the properties of the Renormalization Group Transformation (RGT) that control the accuracy of this type of…
In the beginning of the 1970's, Wilson developed the concept of a fully non-perturbative renormalization group transformation. Applied to the Kondo problem, this numerical renormalization group method (NRG) gave for the first time the full…
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…
