Over the last several years, there has been a resurgence of interest in using non-perturbative approximation methods based on Wilson's continuous renormalization group. In this lecture, I review progress particularly in the past year,…
I give an outline of recent applications of the renormalisation group to effective theories of nuclear forces, focussing on the use of a Wilsonian approach to analyse systems of two or three nonrelativistic particles.
Various uses of the renormalization group are examined.
We critically review the use of the exact renormalization group equations (ERGE) in the framework of the scalar theory. We lay emphasis on the existence of different versions of the ERGE and on an approximation method to solve it: the…
We derive the complete Wilson renormalization group equation which governs the evolution of the gluon distribution and other gluonic observables at low $x$ and arbitrary density.
We continue the study of the effective action for low $x$ physics based on a Wilson renormalization group approach. We express the full nonlinear renormalization group equation in terms of the average value and the average fluctuation of…
We present a quick introduction to quantum field theory and Wilson's theory of the renormalization group from the point of view of mathematical analysis. The presentation is geared primarily towards a probability theory, harmonic analysis…
These lecture notes introduce exact Wilsonian renormalisation, and describe its technical approach, from an intuitive implementation to more advanced realisations. The methods and concepts are explained with a scalar theory, and their…
This is an elementary introduction to Wilson renormalization group and continuum effective field theories. We first review the idea of Wilsonian effective theory and derive the flow equation in a form that allows multiple insertion of…
We review the theory of renormalization, including perturbative renormalization, regularized functional integrals, Renormalization Group and rigorous renormalization.
A class of exact infinitesimal renormalization group transformations is proposed and studied. These transformations are pure changes of variables (i.e., no integration or elimination of some degrees of freedom is required) such that a…
The renormalization group method developed by Ken Wilson more than four decades ago has revolutionized the way we think about problems involving a broad range of energy scales such as phase transitions, turbulence, continuum limits and…
This book provides an introduction to a renormalisation group method in the spirit of that of Wilson. It starts with a concise overview of the theory of critical phenomena and the introduction of several tools required in the…
We investigate finite lattice approximations to the Wilson Renormalization Group in models of unconstrained spins. We discuss first the properties of the Renormalization Group Transformation (RGT) that control the accuracy of this type of…
A Hamiltonian renormalization group is presented. Such a formulation is relevant for chiralic systems and more appropriate than the Lagrangian formalism. An application to 1D system is presented.
We study a proper-time renormalisation group, which is based on an operator cut-off regularisation of the one-loop effective action. The predictive power of this approach is constrained because the flow is not an exact one. We compare it to…
A version of the Wilson Renormalization Group Equation consistent with gauge symmetry is presented. A perturbative renormalizability proof is established. A wilsonian derivation of the Callan-Symanzik equation is given.
The Wilsonian renormalization group approach to matrix models is outlined and applied to multitrace matrix models with emphasis on the computation of the fixed points which could describe the phase structure of noncommutative scalar…
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…
After a brief presentation of the exact renormalization group equation, we illustrate how the field theoretical (perturbative) approach to critical phenomena takes place in the more general Wilson (nonperturbative) approach. Notions such as…
