We consider general renormalizable scalar field theory and derive six-loop beta functions for all parameters in d = 4 dimensions within the $\overline{MS}$-scheme. We do not explicitly compute relevant loop integrals but utilize…
We study the mixing of operators under renormalization group flow in quantum theories, and prove a non-renormalization theorem at non-linear order. It dictates zeros up to a certain number of loops in anomalous dimension tensors that…
A general discussion of the renormalization of the quantum theory of a scalar field as an effective field theory is presented. The renormalization group equations in a mass-independent renormalization scheme allow us to identify the…
We introduce a way of implementing Wilson renormalization within the context of the theory of effective Hamiltonians. Our renormalization scheme involves manipulations at the level of the generalized $G$--matrix and is independent of any…
We use the renormalization group theory to study the directed bond percolation (Gribov process) near its second-order phase transition between absorbing and active state. We present a numerical calculation of the renormalization group…
The renormalization group method is a successive integration over the fluctuations which are ordered according to their length scale, a parameter in the external space. A different procedure is described, where the fluctuations are treated…
The renormalization of composite operators is a fundamental aspect of quantum field theory, relevant for the description of phase transitions and high energy phenomenology. We calculate the anomalous dimensions of a large set of operators…
It is shown in the framework of the N-component scalar model that the saddle point structure may generate non-trivial renormalization group flow. The spinodal phase separation can be described in this manner and a flat action is found as an…
We argue that the choice of an appropriate, massive, renormalization scheme can greatly improve the apparent convergence of perturbation theory at finite temperature. This is illustrated by the calculation of the pressure of a scalar field…
In this paper, we introduce new reference observables to establish a scaling formula in the renormalization group equation. Using the transfer matrix method, we calculate the two point observables of the one dimensional Ising model without…
We describe a renormalization group transformation that is related to the breakup of golden invariant tori in Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom. This transformation applies to a large class of Hamiltonians, is conceptually…
In physics we attempt to infer the rules governing a system given only the results of imprecise measurements. This is an ill-posed problem because certain features of the system's state cannot be resolved by the measurements. However, by…
We apply the functional renormalization group method to the calculation of dynamical properties of zero-dimensional interacting quantum systems. As case studies we discuss the anharmonic oscillator and the single impurity Anderson model. We…
Using Wilson-Polchinski renormalization group equations, we give a simple new proof of decoupling in a $\phi^4$-type scalar field theory involving two real scalar fields (one is heavy with mass $M$ and the other light). Then, to all orders…
Drawing on analogies with the commutative case, the Wilsonian picture of renormalization is developed for noncommutative scalar field theory. The dimensionful noncommutativity parameter, theta, induces several new features. Fixed-points are…
Based on considerations in conformal gauge I derive up to nextleading order a relation between the coefficients of beta-functions in 2D renormalizable field theories before and after coupling to gravity. The result implies a coupling…
Renormalization schemes and cutoff schemes allow for the introduction of various distinct renormalization scales for distinct couplings. We consider the coupled renormalization group flow of several marginal couplings which depend on just…
A new version of differential renormalization is presented. It is based on pulling out certain differential operators and introducing a logarithmic dependence into diagrams. It can be defined either in coordinate or momentum space, the…
Certain power-counting non-renormalizable theories, including the most general self-interacting scalar fields in four and three dimensions and fermions in two dimensions, have a simplified renormalization structure. For example, in…
Renormalization of massless Feynman amplitudes in $x$-space is reexamined here, using almost exclusively real-variable methods. We compute a wealth of concrete examples by means of recursive extension of distributions. This allows us to…
