Fixed points of the 2d renormalization group flow are known to correspond to tree level string vacua. We discuss how the renormalization group (or "sigma model") approach can be extended to the string loop level. The central role of the…
A renormalization group flow equation with a scale-dependent transformation of field variables gives a unified description of fundamental and composite degrees of freedom. In the context of the effective average action, we study 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…
