This article provides a Wilsonian description of the perturbatively renormalizable Tensorial Group Field Theory introduced in arXiv:1303.6772 [hep-th] (Commun. Math. Phys. 330, 581-637). It is a rank-3 model based on the gauge group SU(2),…
A replica-symmetry-breaking phase transition is predicted in a host of disordered media. The criticality of the transition has, however, long been questioned below its upper critical dimension, six, due to the absence of a critical fixed…
Direct verification of the existence of an infinite set of multicritical non-perturbative FPs (Fixed Points) for a single scalar field in two dimensions, is in practice well outside the capabilities of the present standard approximate…
By analyzing SU(3)xU(1) invariant stationary point, studied earlier by Nicolai and Warner, of gauged N=8 supergravity, we find that the deformation of S^7 gives rise to nontrivial renormalization group flow in a three-dimensional boundary…
We study perturbative Wilsonian renormalisation group (RG) for the scalar $\phi^4$ theory at finite temperature to one loop order in the Schwinger-Keldysh closed-time-path (CTP) formalism. By explicitly integrating out the UV modes, we show…
Critical behaviour of the O(n)-symmetric $\phi^{4}$-model with an antisymmetric tensor order parameter is studied by means of the field-theoretic renormalization group (RG) in the leading order of the $\varepsilon=4-d$-expansion (one-loop…
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…
The renormalization group transformation for the hierarchical O(N) spin model in four dimensions is studied by means of characteristic functions of single-site measures, and convergence of the critical trajectory to the Gaussian fixed point…
This is the third paper in a series of four in which a renormalisation flow is introduced which acts directly on the Osterwalder-Schrader data (OS data) without recourse to a path integral. Here the OS data consist of a Hilbert space, a…
From the Wilsonian point of view, renormalisable theories are understood as submanifolds in theory space emanating from a particular fixed point under renormalisation group evolution. We show how this picture precisely applies to their…
A scalar theory can have many Gaussian (free) fixed points, corresponding to Lagrangians of the form $\phi\,\Box^k\phi$. We use the non-perturbative RG to study examples of flows between such fixed points. We show that the anomalous…
We show by a detailed study of the mean-field approximation, the Gaussian approximation, the perturbation expansion, and the field-theoretic renormalization-group analysis of a $\varphi^{3}$ theory that its instability fixed points with…
We study the eigenvectors of the renormalization-group matrix for scalar fields at the Gaussian fixed point, and find that that there exist ``relevant'' directions in parameter space. They correspond to theories with exponential potentials…
Within the exact renormalisation group, the scaling solutions for O(N) symmetric scalar field theories are studied to leading order in the derivative expansion. The Gaussian fixed point is examined for d>2 dimensions and arbitrary infrared…
We study the renormalization group flow in a class of scalar-tensor theories involving at most two derivatives of the fields. We show in general that minimal coupling is self consistent, in the sense that when the scalar self couplings are…
Using the exact renormalization group, it is shown that no physically acceptable non-trivial fixed points, with positive anomalous dimension, exist for (i) O(N) scalar field theory in four or more dimensions, (ii) non-compact, pure Abelian…
We consider the most general scale invariant radial Hamiltonian allowing for anisotropic scaling between space and time. We formulate a renormalisation group analysis of this system and demonstrate the existence of a quantum phase…
Gradient flow has proved useful in the definition and measurement of renormalized quantities on the lattice. Recently, the fact that it suppresses high-modes of the field has been used to construct new, continuous RG transformations both…
The critical behavior of a non-local scalar field theory is studied. This theory has a non-local quartic interaction term which involves a real power -\beta of the Laplacian. The parameter \beta can be tuned so as to make that interaction…
We adopt a combination of analytical and numerical methods to study the renormalization group flow of the most general field theory with quartic interaction in $d=4-\epsilon$ with $N=3$ and $N=4$ scalars. For $N=3$, we find that it admits…
