The path integral formulation of Quantum Field Theory implies an infinite set of local, Schwinger-Dyson-like relations. Exact renormalization group equations can be cast as a particular instance of these relations. Furthermore, exact scheme…
The requirement that the quantum partition function be invariant under a renormalization group transformation results in a wide class of exact renormalization group equations, differing in the form of the kernel. Physical quantities should…

In effective field theories, the concept of renormalization of perturbative divergences is replaced by renormalization group concepts such as relevance and universality. Universality is related to cutoff scheme independence in…
The immense freedom in the construction of Exact Renormalization Groups means that the many non-universal details of the formalism need never be exactly specified, instead satisfying only general constraints. In the context of a manifestly…
We analyse approximate solutions to an exact renormalisation group equation with particular emphasis on their dependence on the regularisation scheme, which is kept arbitrary. Physical quantities related to the coarse-grained potential of…
The truncation scheme dependence of the exact renormalization group equations is investigated for scalar field theories in three dimensions. The exponents are numerically estimated to the next-to-leading order of the derivative expansion.…
We compute critical exponents in a $Z_2$ symmetric scalar field theory in three dimensions, using Wilson's exact renormalization group equations expanded in powers of derivatives. A nontrivial relation between these exponents is confirmed…

It is shown that exact renormalization group (RG) equations (including rescaling and field-renormalization) for respectively the scale-dependent full action $S[\phi,t]$ and the scale-dependent full effective action $\Gamma[\Phi,t]$ --in…
A class of exact infinitesimal renormalization group transformations is proposed and studied. These transformations are pure changes of variables (i.e., no integration or elimination of some degrees of freedom is required) such that a…
We further develop an algorithmic and diagrammatic computational framework for very general exact renormalization groups, where the embedded regularisation scheme, parametrised by a general cutoff function and infinitely many higher point…
We develop a formalism to describe the formation of bound states in quantum field theory using an exact renormalization group flow equation. As a concrete example we investigate a nonrelativistic field theory with instantaneous interaction…
New proves of decoupling of massive fields in several quantum field theories are derived in the effective Lagrangian approach based on Wilson renormalization group. In the most interesting case of gauge theories with spontaneous symmetry…
An exact renormalization group equation describes the dependence of the free energy on an infrared cutoff for the quantum or thermal fluctuations. It interpolates between the microphysical laws and the complex macroscopic phenomena. We…
A general discussion of the renormalization of the quantum theory of a scalar field as an effective field theory is presented. The renormalization group equations in a mass-independent renormalization scheme allow us to identify the…
We construct exact solutions to the functional renormalisation group equation of the O(N) model and the Gross-Neveu model at large N for $2<d<4$, without specifying the form of the regulator. This allows to investigate which quantities are…
We incorporate running parameters and anomalous dimensions into the framework of the exact renormalization group. We modify the exact renormalization group differential equations for a real scalar field theory, using the anomalous…
We demonstrate that in the mass independent renormalization scheme. the renormalization group equations associated with the unphysical parameters that characterize the renormalization scheme and the mass scale leads to summation that…
Quantum field theories require a cutoff to regulate divergences that result from local interactions, and yet physical results can not depend on the value of this cutoff. The renormalization group employs a transformation that changes the…
