We give an introduction to renormalisation, focusing first on a pedagogical description of fundamental concepts of the procedure and its features, then we introduce the renormalisation group and its equations. We discuss then the case of…
We discuss the formulation of the prototype gauge field theory, QED, in the context of two-particle-irreducible (2PI) functional techniques with particular emphasis on the issues of renormalization and gauge symmetry. We show how to…
Can large distance high energy QCD be described by Reggeon Field Theory as an effective emergent theory? We start to investigate the issue employing functional renormalisation group techniques.
The gap between ground and first excited state of the quantum-mechanical double well is calculated using the Renormalization Group equations to the second order in the derivative expansion, obtained within a class of proper time regulators.…
We consider quantum electrodynamics with chiral four-Fermi interactions in the functional renormalization group approach. In gauge theories, the functional flow equation for the effective action is accompanied by the quantum master equation…
We evaluate the second and fourth order quark number susceptibilities in hot QCD using two variations of resummed perturbation theory. On one hand, we carry out a one-loop calculation within hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory, and on the…
We introduce the high density effective theory of QCD. We discuss, in particular, the problem of developing a consistent power counting scheme.
A renormalization scheme is suggested where QCD input parameters - quark mass and coupling constant - are expressed in terms of gauge invariant and infrared stable quantities. For the renormalization of coupling constant the quark anomalous…
The QED renormalization is restudied by using a mass-dependent subtraction which is performed at a time-like renormalization point. The subtraction exactly respects necessary physical and mathematical requirements such as the gauge…
The renormalization group procedure for effective particles (RGPEP), developed as a nonperturbative tool for constructing bound states in quantum field theories, is applied to QCD. The approach stems from the similarity renormalization…
We demonstrate our simple strategy for renormalization with QED at one-loop level, basing on an elaboration of the effective field theory philosophy. No artificial regularization or deformation of the original theory is introduced here and…
Our renormalization group consistent variant of optimized perturbation, RGOPT, is used to calculate the nonperturbative QCD spectral density of the Dirac operator and the related chiral quark condensate $\langle \bar q q \rangle$, for…
We link the FDR treatment of ultraviolet (UV) divergences to dimensional regularization up to two loops in QCD. This allows us to derive the one-loop and two-loop coupling constant and quark mass shifts necessary to translate infrared…
We present an overview of the Density Matrix Renormalization Group and its connections to Quantum Groups, Matrix Products and Conformal Field Theory. We emphasize some common formal structures in all these theories. We also propose…
We study to one-loop order the renormalization of QCD in the Coulomb gauge using the Hamitonian formalism. Divergences occur which might require counter-terms outside the Hamiltonian formalism, but they can be cancelled by a redefinition of…
Two-dimensional QCD is studied from the point of view of existence of multiple chirally noninvariant solutions to the mass-gap equation. The ground-state solution is reproduced and an infinite set of replica solutions is discovered for this…
The long standing problem of a non-perturbative renormalization of a gauge field theoretical Hamiltonian is addressed and explicitly carried out within an (effective) light-cone Hamiltonian approach to QCD. The procedure is in line with the…
We propose a new strategy for the determination of the QCD coupling. It relies on a coupling computed in QCD with $N_{\rm f} \geq 3$ degenerate heavy quarks at a low energy scale $\mu_{\rm dec}$, together with a non-perturbative…
We find a (nonlocal) gauge where the wavefunction renormalization constant does not get any corrections for all momenta in the hard-dense loop approximation. In this gauge, we solve the Schwinger-Dyson equations for the diquark condensate…
We describe in detail the constrained procedure of differential renormalization and develop the techniques required for one-loop calculations. As an illustration we renormalize Scalar QED and show that the two-, three- and four-point Ward…
