We propose that the broad architecture of the renormalization group flow in quantum field theories is, at least in part, fixed by unitarity. The precise statement is summarized in the Unitarity Flow Conjecture, which states that the…
We suggest a new, renormalization group (RG) based, nonperturbative method for treating the intermittency problem of fully developed turbulence which also includes the effects of a finite boundary of the turbulent flow. The key idea is not…
A new form of the Wilson renormalization group equation is derived, in which the flow equations are, up to linear terms, proportional to a gradient flow. A set of co\"ordinates is found in which the flow of marginal, low-energy, couplings…
The Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is the special case of the renormalized Yukawa model with the compositeness condition. We use it to calculate the effective coupling constants in terms of the compositeness sale (momentum cut off) at the…
A normalizing flow models a complex probability density as an invertible transformation of a simple base density. Flows based on either coupling or autoregressive transforms both offer exact density evaluation and sampling, but rely on the…
While we have several complementary models of confinement, some of which are phenomenologically appealing, we do not have the ability to calculate analytically even simple aspects of confinement, let alone have a framework to eventually…
We consider the renormalization of theories with many scalar fields. We discuss at the one-loop level some simple, non-gauge models with an arbitrary number of scalars and fermions both in mass-shell and MS schemes. In MS scheme we give a…
Bosonization in a theory with four-fermion interaction of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio type with additional U(N) symmetry is studied. It is demonstrated that bosonization is not uniquely determined by the interaction terms due to Fierz identities.…
We analyze the quantum phase transition between a semimetal and a superfluid in a model of attractively interacting fermions with a linear dispersion. The quantum critical properties of this model cannot be treated by the Hertz-Millis…
Within the framework of the functional renormalization group, we derived the flow equations for the scale-dependent effective action at finite temperature for models involving an antisymmetric rank-2 tensor field. The analysis focuses on…
We study the renormalization flow of generic actions that depend on the invariants of the field strength tensor of an abelian gauge field. While the Maxwell action defines a Gaussian fixed point, we search for further non-Gaussian fixed…
We give an alternative perturbative proof of the renormalizability of the system defined by the gradient flow and the fermion flow in vector-like gauge theories.
The field theoretic renormalization group is applied to a simple model of random walk on a rough fluctuating surface. We consider the Fokker--Planck equation for a particle in a uniform gravitational field. The surface is modelled by the…
Here we study the Renormalization group flow of $SU(N)\times U(1)$ gauge theory with $M$-fundamental bosons in $4-\epsilon$ dimension by calculating the beta functions. We found a new stable fixed point in the zero mass plane for…
We discuss the quantum mechanics of a particle restricted to the half-line $x > 0$ with potential energy $V = \alpha/x^2$ for $-1/4 < \alpha < 0$. It is known that two scale-invariant theories may be defined. By regularizing the near-origin…
Recently, it has been claimed that some complex networks are self-similar under a convenient renormalization procedure. We present a general method to study renormalization flows in graphs. We find that the behavior of some variables under…
Nambu-Jona-Lasinio-type models are frequently employed as low-energy models in various research fields. With respect to the theory of the strong interaction, this class of models is indeed often used to analyze the structure of the phase…
The Caswell-Wilczek analysis on the gauge dependence of the effective action and the renormalization group functions in Yang-Mills theories is generalized to generic, possibly power counting non renormalizable gauge theories. It is shown…
We use the functional renormalization group equation for the effective average action to study the fixed point structure of gravity-fermion systems on a curved background spacetime. We approximate the effective average action by the…
We constrain renormalization group flows from $ABCDE$ type Wess-Zumino-Witten models triggered by adjoint primaries. We propose positive Lagrangian coupling leads to massless flow and negative to massive. In the conformal phase, we prove an…
