The equilibrium statistical mechanics of a d dimensional ``oriented'' manifold in an N+d dimensional random medium are analyzed in d=4-epsilon dimensions. For N=1, this problem describes an interface pinned by impurities. For d=1, the model…
We study the renormalization group flow of $\mathbb{Z}_2$-invariant supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric scalar models in the local potential approximation using functional renormalization group methods. We focus our attention to the fixed…
The overlap of a $d+1$ dimensional directed polymer of length $t$ in a random medium is studied using a Renormalization Group approach. In $d>2$ it vanishes at $T_c$ for $t\rightarrow \infty$ as $t^{\Sigma}$ where…
We review some aspects of the renormalization group method for interacting fermions. Special emphasis is placed on the application of scaling theory to quasi-one-dimensional systems at non zero temperature. We begin by introducing the…
This article provides a Wilsonian description of the perturbatively renormalizable Tensorial Group Field Theory introduced in arXiv:1303.6772 [hep-th] (Commun. Math. Phys. 330, 581-637). It is a rank-3 model based on the gauge group SU(2),…
Using the hierarchical approximation, we discuss the cut-off dependence of the renormalized quantities of a scalar field theory. The naturalness problem and questions related to triviality bounds are briefly discussed. We discuss unphysical…
We study scaling properties of the model of fully developed turbulence for a compressible fluid, based on the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation, by means of the field theoretic renormalization group (RG). The scaling properties in this…
We consider the renormalization of d-dimensional hypersurfaces (branes) embedded in flat (d+1)-dimensional space. We parametrize the truncated effective action in terms of geometric invariants built from the extrinsic and intrinsic…
We consider the (discrete) parabolic Anderson model $\partial u(t,x)/\partial t=\Delta u(t,x) +\xi_t(x) u(t,x)$, $t\geq 0$, $x\in \mathbb{Z}^d$, where the $\xi$-field is $\mathbb{R}$-valued and plays the role of a dynamic random…
On the integer lattice we consider the discrete membrane model, a random interface in which the field has Laplacian interaction. We prove that, under appropriate rescaling, the discrete membrane model converges to the continuum membrane…
We write new functional renormalization group equations for a scalar nonminimally coupled to gravity. Thanks to the choice of the parametrization and of the gauge fixing they are simpler than older equations and avoid some of the…
The dynamic scaling of curved interfaces presents features that are strikingly different from those of the planar ones. Spherical surfaces above one dimension are flat because the noise is irrelevant in such cases. Kinetic roughening is…
We provide analytical arguments showing that the non-perturbative approximation scheme to Wilson's renormalisation group known as the derivative expansion has a finite radius of convergence. We also provide guidelines for choosing the…
The non-equilibrium random-field Ising model is well studied, yet there are outstanding questions. In two dimensions, power law scaling approaches fail and the critical disorder is difficult to pin down. Additionally, the presence of…
Using stability arguments, this Brief Report suggests that a term that enhances the surface tension in the presence of large height fluctuations should be included in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation. A one-loop renormalization group…
We provide a theoretical analysis by means of the nonperturbative functional renormalization group (NP-FRG) of the corrections to scaling in the critical behavior of the random-field Ising model (RFIM) near the dimension $d_{DR}\approx 5.1$…
We show that generic kinetic growth processes with surface relaxations can exhibit a new crumpled phase with short-range orientational order at dimensions $d<4$. A sufficiently strong spatially non-local part of the chemical potential…
We analyze the renormalization of systems whose effective degrees of freedom are described in terms of fluctuations which are ``environment'' dependent. Relevant environmental parameters considered are: temperature, system size, boundary…
We review recent results concerning the renormalization group (RG) transformation of Dyson's hierarchical model (HM). This model can be seen as an approximation of a scalar field theory on a lattice. We introduce the HM and show that its…
We prove the renormalizability of the generalized Edwards model for self-avoiding polymerized membranes. This is done by use of a short distance multilocal operator product expansion, which extends the methods of local field theories to a…
