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…

Working with scalar field theories, we discuss choices of regulator that, inserted in the functional renormalization group equation, reproduce the results of dimensional regularization at one and two loops. The resulting flow equations can…
Within the exact renormalisation group approach, it is shown that stability properties of the flow are controlled by the choice for the regulator. Equally, the convergence of the flow is enhanced for specific optimised choices for the…
