The renormalization group is a tool that allows one to obtain a reduced description of systems with many degrees of freedom while preserving the relevant features. In the case of quantum systems, in particular, one-dimensional systems…
For the ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric electrodynamics we investigate renormalization schemes in which the NSVZ equation relating the $\beta$-function to the anomalous dimension of the matter superfields is valid in all loops. We demonstrate…
The perturbative $\beta$-function is known exactly in a number of supersymmetric theories and in the 't Hooft renormalization scheme in the $\phi_4^4$ model. It is shown how this allows one to compute the effective action exactly for…
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…
The paper studies the quantum action for the four-dimensional real $\phi^4$-theory in the case of a general formulation using the background field method. The three-loop renormalization is performed with the usage of a cutoff regularization…
We calculate one-loop renormalization factors and mixing coefficients of bilinear quark operators for a class of gluon actions with six-link loops and O(a)-improved quark action. The calculation is carried out by evaluating on-shell Green's…
We consider a scalar field theory in Minkowski spacetime and define a coarse grained Closed Time Path (CTP) effective action by integrating quantum fluctuations of wavelengths shorter than a critical value. We derive an exact CTP…
We investigate the renormalization group approach to nonequilibrium field theory. We show that it is possible to derive nontrivial renormalization group flow from iterative coarse graining of a closed-time-path action. This renormalization…
We describe in this work all solutions to the problem of renormalizing multiple zeta values at arguments of any sign in a quasi-shuffle compatible way. As a corollary we clarify the relation between different renormalizations at…
We study a self-interacting scalar field theory in the presence of a \delta-function background potential. The role of surface interactions in obtaining a renormalizable theory is stressed and demonstrated by a two-loop calculation. The…

Renormalization group procedure for effective particles in the front form of Hamiltonian dynamics is applied to an elementary quantum field theory for two species of particles mixed through a mass-like interaction term. The model…
We discuss structural aspects of the functional renormalisation group. Flows for a general class of correlation functions are derived, and it is shown how symmetry relations of the underlying theory are lifted to the regularised theory. A…
An exact renormalization group equation describes the dependence of the free energy on an infrared cutoff for the quantum or thermal fluctuations. It interpolates between the microphysical laws and the complex macroscopic phenomena. We…
The aim of this article is to calculate (to first order in $\hbar$) the renormalized effective action of a self interacting massive scalar field propagating in the space-time due to a cylindrically symmetric, rotating body. The vacuum…
A simple backreaction problem in quantum mechanics, the full quantum anharmonic oscillator, and quantum parametric resonance are studied using Renormalization Group techniques for global asymptotic analysis. In this short note this…
The on-shell regularization of the one-loop divergences of supergravity theories is generalized to include a dilaton of the type occurring in effective field theories derived from superstring theory, and the superfield structure of the…
A classically scale-invariant 6d analog of the 4d Yang-Mills theory is the 4-derivative $ (\nabla F)^2 + F^3$ gauge theory with two independent couplings. Motivated by a search for a perturbatively conformal but possibly non-unitary 6d…
In this paper we construct the quantum group, at roots of unity, of abelian Chern-Simons theory. We then use it to model classical theta functions and the actions of the Heisenberg and modular groups on them.
A Lagrange multiplier field restricts the quantum corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action at one-loop order, yielding a model that is renormalizable and unitary while reproducing the Einstein field equations in the classical limit.
