The self--similar renormalization group is used to obtain expressions for the spectrum of the Hamiltonian with the Yukawa potential. The critical screening parameter above which there are no bound states is also obtained by this method. The…

We apply renormalization ideas to study low-energy interactions in two-body systems. As we will see this method highlights a model-independent description of a broad variety of systems ranging from ultra-could atoms to NN and Lambda-Lambda…

Nuclear interactions evolved via renormalization group methods to lower resolution become increasingly non-local (off-diagonal in coordinate space) as they are softened. This inhibits both the development of intuition about the interactions…

Two-loop renormalization group equations in gauge theories with multiple U(1) groups are presented. Instead of normalizing the abelian gauge fields in canonical forms, we retain kinetic-mixing terms and treat the mixing coefficients as free…
We apply the renormalisation-group to two-body scattering by a combination of known long-range and unknown short-range forces. A crucial feature is that the low-energy effective theory is regulated by applying a cut-off in the basis of…
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…
