Using a gauge invariant exact renormalization group, we show how to compute the effective action, and extract the physics, whilst manifestly preserving gauge invariance at each and every step. As an example we give an elegant computation of…
We present an overview of the construction and testing of actions for SU(3) gauge theory which are approximate fixed points of renormalization group equations (at $\beta\rightarrow \infty$). Such actions are candidates for use in numerical…
The $\beta$ function for a scalar field theory describes the dependence of the coupling constant on the renormalization mass scale. This dependence is affected by the choice of regularization scheme. I explicitly relate the…
