The standard flow equation for the effective average action can be derived from a Legendre transform of Polchinski's exact renormalization group equation. However, the latter is not well adapted for finding fixed-points with non-zero…
By simply applying the Local Potential Approximation (LPA) on the Polchinski's Exact Renormalization Group (ERG) flow equation for single Bosonic and spinless Fermionic fields, and initially considering only the coarse-graining (blocking)…
I give an overview over some work on rigorous renormalization theory based on the differential flow equations of the Wilson-Wegner renormalization group. I first consider massive Euclidean $\phi_4^4$-theory. The renormalization proofs are…
We show that renormalized non-commutative scalar field theories do not reduce to their planar sector in the limit of large non-commutativity. This follows from the fact that the RG equation of the Wilson-Polchinski type which describes the…
We examine the renormalization group flow in the vicinity of the free-field fixed point for effective field theories in the presence of a constant, nondynamical vector potential background. The interaction with this vector potential…
Working in scalar field theory, we consider RG trajectories which correspond to nonrenormalizable theories, in the Wilsonian sense. An interesting question to ask of such trajectories is, given some fixed starting point in parameter space,…
Scalar field theory at finite temperature is investigated via an improved renormalization group prescription which provides an effective resummation over all possible non-overlapping higher loop graphs. Explicit analyses for the lambda…
We study different renormalisation group flows for scale dependent effective actions, including exact and proper-time renormalisation group flows. These flows have a simple one loop structure. They differ in their dependence on the full…
The "exact" or "functional" renormalization group equation describes the renormalization group flow of the effective average action $\Gamma_k$. The ordinary effective action $\Gamma_0$ can be obtained by integrating the flow equation from…
In a companion paper arXiv:2510.27676, we introduced a non-perturbative classical renormalisation group (RG) flow equation as a novel method for treating strongly interacting problems in general relativity, with a prominent application to…
We give a new proof of the renormalizability of a class of matter field theories on a space-time lattice; in particular we consider $\phi^4$ and massive Yukawa theories with Wilson fermions. We use the Polchinski approach to…
We study quantum corrections to Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology with a scalar field under the assumption that the dynamics are subject to renormalisation group improvement. We use the Bianchi identity to relate the renormalisation…
The study of the effective potential for non-renormalisable scalar SO(N) symmetric theories leads to recurrence relations for the coefficients of the leading logarithms. These relations can be transformed into generalised…
We show that Polchinski equations in the D--dimensional matrix scalar field theory can be reduced at large $N$ to the Hamiltonian equations in a (D+1)-dimensional theory. In the subsector of the $\Tr \phi^l$ (for all $l$) operators we find…
We calculate renormalization group flow equations for the linear sigma-model in large N_c approximation. The flow equations decouple and can be solved analytically. The solution is equal to a self consistent solution of the NJL model in the…
We derive renormalised finite functional flow equations for quantum field theories in real and imaginary time that incorporate scale transformations of the renormalisation conditions, hence implementing a flowing renormalisation. The flows…
We study $d$-dimensional scalar field theory in the Local Potential Approximation of the functional renormalization group. Sturm-Liouville methods allow the eigenoperator equation to be cast as a Schrodinger-type equation. Combining…
We discuss structural aspects of the functional renormalisation group. Flows for a general class of correlation functions are derived, and it is shown how symmetry relations of the underlying theory are lifted to the regularised theory. A…
Through appropriate projections of an exact renormalization group equation, we study fixed points, critical exponents and nontrivial renormalization group flows in scalar field theories in $2<d<4$. The standard upper critical dimensions…
We present the first numerical application of a method that we have recently proposed to solve the Non Perturbative Renormalization Group equations and obtain the n-point functions for arbitrary external momenta. This method leads to flow…
