The phase transitions of random-field q-state Potts models in d=3 dimensions are studied by renormalization-group theory by exact solution of a hierarchical lattice and, equivalently, approximate Migdal-Kadanoff solutions of a cubic…
Dimensional reduction of finite temperature quantum field theories can be improved with help of continous renormalisation group steps. The method is applied to the integration of the lowest non-static ($n=\pm 1$) modes of the finite…
These are introductory lecture notes aimed at beginning graduate students covering fundamental concepts and ideas behind the renormalisation group. Our main goal is to motivate it and then explore its consequences, in the context of quantum…
The functional renormalization group (FRG) has been used widely to investigate phase diagrams, in particular the one of the two-dimensional Hubbard model. So far, the study of one-dimensional models has not attracted as much attention. We…
These lectures are centered around a specific problem, the effect of weak repulsive interactions on the transition temperature $T_c$ of a Bose gas. This problem provides indeed a beautiful illustration of many of the techniques which have…
We introduce a real time version of the functional renormalization group which allows to study correlation effects on nonequilibrium transport through quantum dots. Our method is equally capable to address (i) the relaxation out of a…
Renormalisation group approaches are tailor made for resolving the scale-dependence of quantum and statistical systems, and hence their phase structure and critical physics. Usually this advantage comes at the price of having to truncate…
The consequences of phase transitions in the early universe are becoming testable in a variety of manners, from colliders physics to gravitational wave astronomy. In particular one phase transition we know of, the Electroweak Phase…
In this work we study the electroweak phase transition in a model with gauged lepton number. Here, a family of vector-like leptons is required in order to cancel the gauge anomalies. Furthermore, these leptons can play an important role in…
We present an elementary introduction to entanglement renormalization, a real space renormalization group for quantum lattice systems. This manuscript corresponds to a chapter of the book "Understanding Quantum Phase Transitions", edited by…
We analyse the finite temperature phase transition of scalar QED in euclidean spacetime. Analytical solutions of approximations to a Wilsonian renormalisation group equation are discussed. Special emphasis is put on the discussion of the…
We investigate the role of entanglement in quantum phase transitions, and show that the success of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) in understanding such phase transitions is due to the way it preserves entanglement under…
We study the long-time asymptotics of a certain class of nonlinear diffusion equations with time-dependent diffusion coefficients which arise, for instance, in the study of transport by randomly fluctuating velocity fields. Our primary goal…
The renormalization group has played an important role in the physics of the second half of the twentieth century both as a conceptual and a calculational tool. In particular it provided the key ideas for the construction of a qualitative…
A simple introduction of renormalization in quantum field theory is discussed. Explanation of concepts is emphasized instead of the technical details.
Renormalization group method is one of the most powerful tool to obtain approximate solutions to differential equations. We apply the renormalization group method to Hamiltonian systems whose integrable parts linearly depend on action…
We derive a new renormalization group to calculate a non-trivial critical exponent of the divergent correlation length which gives a universality classification of essential singularities in infinite-order phase transitions. This method…
We have studied a Fermi system with attractive $U(r)$-symmetric interaction at the finite temperatures by the quantum field renormalization group (RG) method. The RG functions have been calculated in the framework of dimensional…
We review the ideas of renormalizable field theories and the Standard Model at the Born (neutral currents, the Higgs mechanism and unification) and quantum level. We subsequently illustrate how high statistics experiments are producing the…
I give an outline of recent applications of the renormalisation group to effective theories of nuclear forces, focussing on the use of a Wilsonian approach to analyse systems of two or three nonrelativistic particles.
