The renormalization group (RG) is known to provide information about radiative corrections beyond the order in perturbation theory to which one has calculated explicitly. We first demonstrate the effect of the renormalization scheme used on…

I perform a further study regarding a renormalization-group (RG) issue -- which concerns a wide variety of the so-called perturbative power counting under effective field theories (EFT) -- as pointed out by A. M. Gasparyan and E. Epelbaum…
The renormalization of the two dimensional light-front quantized $\phi^{4}$ theory is discussed. The mass renormalization condition and the renormalized constraint equation are shown to contain all the information to describe the phase…
The running of the non-minimal parameter (\xi) of the interaction of the real scalar field and scalar curvature is explored within the non-perturbative setting of the functional renormalization group (RG). We establish the RG flow in curved…
A fundamental problem with attempting to quantize general relativity is its perturbative non-renormalizability. However, this fact does not rule out the possibility that non-perturbative effects can be computed, at least in some…
An approximation algorithm is proposed to transform truncated QCD (or QED) series for observables. The approximation is a modification of the Baker-Gammel approximants, and is independent of the renormalization scale (RScl) $\mu$ -- the…

It is shown that the renormalisation group (RG) equation can be viewed as an equation for Lie transport of physical amplitudes along the integral curves generated by the $\beta$-functions of a quantum field theory. The anomalous dimensions…
It is shown that the renormalization group (RG) method for global analysis can be formulated in the context of the classical theory of envelopes: Several examples from partial differential equations are analyzed. The amplitude equations…
In this paper, we propose new regularization, where integer-order differential operators are replaced by fractional-order operators. Regularization for quantum field theories based on application of the Riesz fractional derivatives of…
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…
We develop an augmented characteristic, first-order formulation of the field equations in f(R) gravity governing the global evolution of a (possibly) massive scalar field phi under spherical symmetry. This formulation is designed to isolate…
$S$-matrix elements are invariant under field redefinitions of the Lagrangian. They are determined by geometric quantities such as the curvature of the field-space manifold of scalar and gauge fields. We present a formalism where scalar and…
I suggest that the current situation in quantum field theory (QFT) provides some reason to question the universal validity of ontological reductionism. I argue that the renormalization group flow is reversible except at fixed points, which…
Evolution of the concept known in the theoretical physics as the Renormalization Group (RG) is presented. The corresponding symmetry, that has been first introduced in QFT in mid-fifties, is a continuous symmetry of a solution with respect…
We study a first-order formulation for the coupled evolution of a quantum scalar field and a classical Friedmann universe. The model is defined by a state dependent hamiltonian constraint and the time dependent Schr\"odinger equation for…
The Renormalization Group (RG) is one of the central and modern techniques in quantum field theory. Indeed, quantum field theories can be understood as flows between fixed points of the RG flow, which represent Conformal Field Theories…
These introductory notes are about functional renormalization group equations and some of their applications. It is emphasised that the applicability of this method extends well beyond critical systems, it actually provides us a general…
We renormalize massless scalar effective field theories (EFTs) to higher loop orders and higher orders in the EFT expansion. To facilitate EFT calculations with the R* renormalization method, we construct suitable operator bases using…
