The problem of a quantum Ising degree of freedom coupled to a gapless bosonic mode appears naturally in many one dimensional systems, yet surprisingly little is known how such a coupling affects the Ising quantum critical point. We…
We use scale invariant scattering theory to obtain the exact equations determining the renormalization group fixed points of the two-dimensional $CP^{N-1}$ model, for $N$ real. Also due to special degeneracies at $N=2$ and 3, the space of…
A nonconventional renormalization-group (RG) treatment close to and below four dimensions is used to explore, in a unified and systematic way, the low-temperature properties of a wide class of systems in the influence domain of their…
A Wilsonian renormalisation group is used to study nonrelativistic two-body scattering by a short-ranged potential. We identify two fixed points: a trivial one and one describing systems with a bound state at zero energy. The eigenvalues of…
Flows of the couplings of a theory of an N-component (complex) scalar field coupled to electrodynamics is investigated using the functional renormalization group formalism in d dimensions in covariant gauges. We find charged fixed points…
We develop the functional renormalization group formalism for a tensorial group field theory with closure constraint, in the case of an Abelian just renormalizable model with quartic interactions. The method allows us to obtain a closed but…
A scalar theory can have many Gaussian (free) fixed points, corresponding to Lagrangians of the form $\phi\,\Box^k\phi$. We use the non-perturbative RG to study examples of flows between such fixed points. We show that the anomalous…

A general ansatz in Renormalization Theory, already established in many important situations, states that exponential convergence of renormalization orbits implies that topological conjugacies are actually smooth (when restricted to the…
We use functional renormalization group methods to study gravity minimally coupled to a free scalar field. This setup provides the prototype of a gravitational theory which is perturbatively non-renormalizable at one-loop level, but may…
We use a novel real-time formulation of the functional renormalization group (FRG) for dynamical systems with reversible mode couplings to study Model H, the conjectured dynamic universality class of the QCD critical point. We emphasize the…
We analyze a semi-infinite one-dimensional random walk process with a biased motion that is incremental in one direction and long-range in the other. On a network with a fixed hierarchy of long-range jumps, we find with exact…
We summarize our recent results on the large N renormalization group (RG) approach to matrix models for discretized two-dimensional quantum gravity. We derive exact RG equations by solving the reparametrization identities, which reduce…
Critical transition points between symmetry-broken phases are characterized as fixed points in the renormalization group (RG) theory. We show that, following the standard Wilsonian procedure that traces out the large momentum modes, this…
In this paper, we study the equilibrium states of a $N\times N$ stochastic complex random matrix $M$, whose entries evolve in time accordingly with a Langevin equation including both Gaussian white noises and a linear disorder, materialized…
We review and extend in several directions recent results on the asymptotic safety approach to quantum gravity. The central issue in this approach is the search of a Fixed Point having suitable properties, and the tool that is used is a…
Quenched disorder - in the sense of the Harris criterion - is generally a relevant perturbation at an absorbing state phase transition point. Here using a strong disorder renormalization group framework and effective numerical methods we…
We consider the zero-temperature fixed points controlling the critical behavior of the $d$-dimensional random-field Ising, and more generally $O(N)$, models. We clarify the nature of these fixed points and their stability in the region of…
Tensor models provide a way to access the path-integral for discretized quantum gravity in d dimensions. As in the case of matrix models for two-dimensional quantum gravity, the continuum limit can be related to a Renormalization Group…
A Yang-Mills type two matrix model with mass terms is studied by use of a matrix renormalization group approach proposed by Brezin and Zinn-Justin. The renormalization group method indicates that the model exhibits a critical behavior…
