Perturbative renormalization group theory is developed as a unified tool for global asymptotic analysis. With numerous examples, we illustrate its application to ordinary differential equation problems involving multiple scales, boundary…
We derive the renormalization group equations for a generic nonrenormalizable theory. We show that the equations allow one to derive the structure of the leading divergences at any loop order in terms of one-loop diagrams only. In chiral…
We discuss a resummed perturbation theory based on the Wilson renormalization group. In this formulation the Wilsonian flowing couplings, which generalize the running coupling, enter directly into the loop expansion. In the case of an…
A class of scalar models with non-polynomial interaction, which naturally admits an analytical resummation of the series of tadpole diagrams is studied in perturbation theory. In particular, we focus on a model containing only one…
The review presents general methods for treating complicated problems that cannot be solved exactly and whose solution encounters two major difficulties. First, there are no small parameters allowing for the safe use of perturbation theory…
Results of perturbation theory in quantum field theory generally depend on the renormalization scheme that is in use. In particular, they depend on the scale. We try to make perturbation theory scheme invariant by re-expanding with respect…
We review the theory of renormalization, including perturbative renormalization, regularized functional integrals, Renormalization Group and rigorous renormalization.
The proof of one-loop renormalizability of the general Lorentz- and CPT-violating extension of quantum electrodynamics is described. Application of the renormalization-group method is discussed and implications for theory and experiment are…
A systematic loop expansion is formulated in terms of full propagators and vertices. It is based on an expansion of the general solution of an exact non-perturbative flow equation.
We use the non-perturbative renormalization group to clarify some features of perturbation theory in thermal field theory. For the specific case of the scalar field theory with O(N) symmetry, we solve the flow equations within the local…
We review recent developments in the theory of renormalisation group flows in minimal models with boundaries. Among these, we discuss in particular the perturbative calculations of Recknagel et al, not only as a tool to predict the IR…
The perturbative renormalization group(RG) equation is applied to resum divergent series of perturbative wave functions of quantum anharmonic oscillator. It is found that the resummed series gives the cumulant of the naive perturbation…
A proper version of the proto renormalization-group scheme is presented to derive amplitude equations in striped pattern formation with conserved and nonconserved order parameter. In the conserved case, the result preserves the conservation…
We point out some limits of the perturbative renormalization group used in statistical mechanics both at and out of equilibrium. We argue that the non perturbative renormalization group formalism is a promising candidate to overcome some of…
Two-loop renormalization group equations in gauge theories with multiple U(1) groups are presented. Instead of normalizing the abelian gauge fields in canonical forms, we retain kinetic-mixing terms and treat the mixing coefficients as free…
The structure of the UV divergencies in higher dimensional nonrenormalizable theories is analysed. Based on renormalization operation and renormalization group theory it is shown that even in this case the leading divergencies (asymptotics)…
We develop a new formalism to study nonlinear evolution in the growth of large-scale structure, by following the dynamics of gravitational clustering as it builds up in time. This approach is conveniently represented by Feynman diagrams…
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 renormalization group flow in a general renormalizable gauge theory with a simple gauge group in 3+1 dimensions is analyzed. The flow of the ratios of the Yukawa couplings and the gauge coupling is described in terms of a bounded…
We prove that the functional renormalization group flow equation admits a perturbative solution and show explicitly the scheme transformation that relates it to the standard schemes of perturbation theory. We then define a universal scheme…
