We show a possible way to build the AdS/CFT correspondence starting from the quantum field theory side based on renormalization group approach. An extra dimension is naturally introduced in our scheme as the renomalization scale. The…
Inspired by the AdS/CFT correspondence, we develop an explicit formal duality between the planar limit of a d-dimensional gauge theory and a classical field theory in a (d+1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. The key ingredient is the…
We study renormalization group multicritical fixed points in the $\epsilon$-expansion of scalar field theories characterized by the symmetry of the (hyper)cubic point group $H_N$. After reviewing the algebra of $H_N$-invariant polynomials…
Using Wilsonian methods, we study the renormalization group flow of the Nonlinear Sigma Model in any dimension $d$, restricting our attention to terms with two derivatives. At one loop we always find a Ricci flow. When symmetries completely…
Fixed-point equations in the functional renormalization group approach are integrated from large to vanishing field, where an asymptotic potential in the limit of large field is implemented as initial conditions. This approach allows us to…
The renormalization group equations for large-scale structure (RG-LSS) describe how the bias and stochastic (noise) parameters -- both of matter and biased tracers such as galaxies -- evolve as a function of the cutoff $\Lambda$ of the…
We discuss the presence of a light dilaton in Conformal Field Theories deformed by a single scalar operator, in the holographic realization consisting of confining Renormalization Group flows. Then, we apply this formalism to study the…
The one-loop renormalization of the action for a set Dirac fermions and a set of scalars spanning an arbitrary manifold coupled via Yukawa-like and gauge interactions is presented. The computation is performed with functional methods and in…
We discuss briefly the kappa framework, proposed originally as a test for the Higgs couplings of the Standard Model (SM). Further, we discuss a generalization of this idea in terms of effective field theory. We sketch how to add dimension 6…
Light pseudoscalar resonances that couple to the Standard Model via non-renormalizable operators, such as axions and axion-like particles (ALPs), generate contributions to the renormalization group evolution equations of couplings of…
Holographic model of massive scalar field with its self-interaction $\lambda\phi^n$ in AdS space is able to give a logarithmic scale dependence to marginal multi trace deformation couplings on its dual conformal field theory, where…
We discuss the free-energy density of bosonic and fermionic theories possessing strongly coupled critical points in D=3. We construct a stationary renormalization group trajectory which interpolates between the free massless theory of N…
We review the asymptotic safety scenario for quantum gravity and the role and implications of an underlying ultraviolet fixed point. We discuss renormalisation group techniques employed in the fixed point search, analyse the main picture at…
In this paper we demonstrate that solitons of a simple real scalar field model that are {\it static and linearly stable} do exist when considered in a (3+1)-dimensional, spatially compact space-time background, the static Einstein universe,…
We propose to study the infrared behaviour of polymerised (or tethered) random manifolds of dimension D interacting via an exclusion condition with a fixed impurity in d-dimensional Euclidean space in which the manifold is embedded. We…
Some interesting nonperturbative properties of the strongly coupled 4D compact U(1) lattice gauge theories, both without and with matter fields, are pointed out. We demonstrate that the pure gauge theory has a non-Gaussian fixed point with…
We discuss some higher-loop studies of renormalization-group flows and fixed points in various quantum field theories.
Hierarchical renormalization group transformations are related to non-associative algebras. Non-trivial infrared fixed points are shown to be solutions of polynomial equations. At the example of a scalar model in $d(\ge2)$ dimensions some…
We consider gauge field theories in $D>4$ following the Wilson RG approach and show that they possess the ultraviolet fixed points where the gauge coupling is dimensionless in any space-time dimension. At the fixed point the anomalous…
We generalize the well-known analogies between m^2 \phi^2 and R + R^2 theories to include the selfinteraction \lambda \phi^4-term for the scalar field. It turns out to be the R + R^3 Lagrangian which gives an appropriate model for it.…
