A mass parameter for the gauge bosons in gauge-fixed four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory can be accommodated in a local and manifestly BRST-invariant action. The construction is based on the Faddeev-Popov method involving a nonlinear…
Gauge invariance of noncommutative (NC) regularization which, on the basis of a Lorentz-invariant NC action regarded as a `regulated' action, neither introduces auxiliary fields nor extends dimensions to complex values, is proved by…
We discuss the relation between the Gell-Mann-Low beta function and the ``flowing couplings'' of the Wilsonian action $S_\L[\phi]$ of the exact renormalization group (RG) at the scale $\L$. This relation involves the ultraviolet region of…
The integrals defining the two-loop beta-function for the general renormalizable N=1 supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory, regularized by higher covariant derivatives, are investigated. It is shown that they are given by integrals of double…
We construct an RG potential for N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, and extract a positive definite metric by comparing its gradient with the recently discovered beta-function for this system, thus proving that the RG flow is…
We offer a novel perspective on ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory through the framework of the Nicolai map, a transformation of the bosonic fields that allows one to compute quantum correlators in terms of a free, purely…
We consider the most general perturbatively renormalizable theory of vector fields in four dimensions with a global SU(N) symmetry and massless couplings. The Lagrangian contains 1 quadratic, 2 cubic and 4 quartic couplings. The RG flow…
We study the gauge transformation of the recently computed one-loop four-point function of {\cal N}=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with gauge group U(N). The contributions from nonplanar diagrams are not gauge invariant. We compute…
We discuss the non-perturbative renormalization group evolution of the gauge coupling constant by using a truncated form of the functional flow equation for the effective average action of the Yang-Mills-gravity system. Our result is…
Recent studies of the $AdS_4/CFT_3$ correspondence involve the construction of a peculiar supersymmetric gauge theory on the worldvolume of multiple M2s branes as a boundary field theory. Under suitable conditions the quantum theory becomes…
We obtain the exact beta function for $N=2$ SUSY $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory and prove the nonperturbative Renormalization Group Equation $$ \partial_\Lambda{\cal F}(a,\Lambda)= {\Lambda\over \Lambda_0}\partial_{\Lambda_0}{\cal…
The immense freedom in the construction of Exact Renormalization Groups means that the many non-universal details of the formalism need never be exactly specified, instead satisfying only general constraints. In the context of a manifestly…
We extend the Wilson renormalization group (RG) to supersymmetric theories. As this regularization scheme preserves supersymmetry, we exploit the superspace technique. To set up the formalism we first derive the RG flow for the massless…
The new method of nonperturbative calculation of the beta function in the lattice gauge theory is proposed. The method is based on the finite size scaling hypothesis.
We present preliminary result for the step-scaling study of the coupling constant with the Yang-Mills gradient flow, in the twelve-favour SU(3) gauge theory. In this work, the lattice simulation is performed using unimproved staggered…
Exact Renormalization Group techniques are applied to supersymmetric models in order to get some insights into the low energy effective actions of such theories. Starting from the ultra-violet finite mass deformed N=4 supersymmetric…
The finiteness properties of the N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are reanalyzed both in the component formulation and using N=1 superfields, in order to discuss some subtleties that emerge in the computation of gauge dependent…
We define a model of 2 coupled SU(2) doublets of scalar fields in $4$ spacetime dimensions which have a rich structure of renormalization group (RG) flows to 1-loop when the SU(2) is broken to U(1). The model is pseudo-hermitian, $H^\dagger…
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 investigate non-Abelian gauge theories within a Wilsonian Renormalisation Group approach. The cut-off term inherent in this approach leads to a modified Ward identity (mWI). It is shown that this mWI is compatible with the flow and that…
