These two lectures cover some of the advances that underpin recent progress in deriving continuum solutions from the exact renormalization group. We concentrate on concepts and on exact non-perturbative statements, but in the process will…

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…
Accelerated gradient descent iterations are widely used in optimization. It is known that, in the continuous-time limit, these iterations converge to a second-order differential equation which we refer to as the accelerated gradient flow.…
We establish a concrete correspondence between a gradient flow and the renormalization group flow for a generic scalar field theory. We use the exact renormalization group formalism with a particular choice of the cutoff function.
Renormalization group flow equations for scalar lambda Phi^4 are generated using three classes of smooth smearing functions. Numerical results for the critical exponent nu in three dimensions are calculated by means of a truncated series…
The flow equations of the Functional Renormalization Group are applied to the O(N)-symmetric scalar theory, for N=1 and N=4, in four Euclidean dimensions, d=4, to determine the effective potential and the renormalization function of the…
The standard nonperturbative approaches of renormalization group for tensor models are generally focused on a purely local potential approximation (i.e. involving only generalized traces and product of them) and are showed to strongly…
We show that the so-called Phi-derivable approximations can be combined with the exact renormalization group to provide efficient non-perturbative approximation schemes. On the one hand, the Phi-derivable approximations allow for a simple…
The behavior of many critical phenomena at large distances is expected to be invariant under the full conformal group, rather than only isometries and scale transformations. When studying critical phenomena, approximations are often…
Speculative optimisation relies on the estimation of the probabilities that certain properties of the control flow are fulfilled. Concrete or estimated branch probabilities can be used for searching and constructing advantageous speculative…
A normalizing flow is an invertible mapping between an arbitrary probability distribution and a standard normal distribution; it can be used for density estimation and statistical inference. Computing the flow follows the change of…
A model for the development of turbulent shear flows, created by non-uniform parallel flows in a confining channel, is used to identify the diffuser shape that maximises pressure recovery when the inflow is non-uniform. Wide diffuser angles…
The dependence of function renormalization group equation on regulators is investigated. A parameter is introduced to control the suppression of regulators. Functional renormalization group equations will become regulator-independent if…
We show how the exact renormalization group for the effective action with a sharp momentum cutoff, may be organised by expanding one-particle irreducible parts in terms of homogeneous functions of momenta of integer degree (Taylor…
We study the renormalization group flow of the O(N) non-linear sigma model in arbitrary dimensions. The effective action of the model is truncated to fourth order in the derivative expansion and the flow is obtained by combining the…

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…
