Lattice regularization is a standard technique for the nonperturbative definition of a quantum theory of fields. Several approaches to the construction of a quantum theory of gravity adopt this technique either explicitly or implicitly. A…

We give an introductory account to the renormalization of models without metric background. We sketch the application to certain discrete models of quantum gravity such as spin foam models.

In this article we apply background-independent renormalization group methods to spin foam quantum gravity. It is aimed at extending and elucidating the analysis of a companion letter, in which the existence of a fixed point in the…

We provide a non-technical overview of recent extensions of renormalization methods and techniques to Group Field Theories (GFTs), a class of combinatorially non-local quantum field theories which generalize matrix models to dimension $d…

A hallmark of non-perturbative theories of quantum gravity is the absence of a fixed background geometry, and therefore the absence in a Planckian regime of any notion of length or scale that is defined a priori. This has potentially…

This thesis is about new methods of achieving RG transformations, in both a continuum spacetime background and on a lattice discretization thereof. The subject is explored from the point of view of euclidean quantum field theory. As a…

We summarize our renormalization group approach for the vector model as well as the matrix model which are the discretized quantum gravity in one- and two-dimensional spacetime. A difference equation is obtained which relates free energies…

Inspired by the superblock method of White, we introduce a simple modification of the standard Renormalization Group (RG) technique for the study of quantum lattice systems. Our method which takes into account the effect of Boundary…

A real space renormalization group technique, based on the hierarchical baby-universe structure of a typical dynamically triangulated manifold, is used to study scaling properties of 2d and 4d lattice quantum gravity. In 4d, the…

This is a lecture note on the renormalization group theory for field theory models based on the dimensional regularization method. We discuss the renormalization group approach to fundamental field theoretic models in low dimensions. We…

Other than the commonly used Wilson's regularization of quantum field theories (QFTs), there is a growing interest in regularizations that explore lattice models with a strictly finite local Hilbert space, in anticipation of the upcoming…

Asymptotic Safety provides a mechanism for constructing a consistent and predictive quantum theory of gravity valid on all length scales. Its key ingredient is a non-Gaussian fixed point of the gravitational renormalization group flow which…

Gradient flow has proved useful in the definition and measurement of renormalized quantities on the lattice. Recently, the fact that it suppresses high-modes of the field has been used to construct new, continuous RG transformations both…

We investigate the renormalization group flow of a gravity--matter system in which a scalar field is minimally coupled to Einstein gravity and its kinetic term is given by a scale-dependent form factor $f_\Lambda(-\Box)$. Employing the…

We continue the study of the renormalization group and decoupling of massive fields in curved space, started in the previous article and analyse the higher derivative sector of the vacuum metric-dependent action of the Standard Model. The…

We develop a renormalization group (RG) description of the localization properties of onedimensional (1D) quasiperiodic lattice models. The RG flow is induced by increasing the unit cell of subsequent commensurate approximants. Phases of…

We present a real-space renormalization group transformation with continuous scale change to calculate the continuous renormalization group $\beta$ function in non-perturbative lattice simulations. Our method is motivated by the connection…

We develop the functional renormalization group formalism for a tensorial group field theory with closure constraint, in the case of an Abelian just renormalizable model with quartic interactions. The method allows us to obtain a closed but…

We study the wave function localization properties in a d-dimensional model of randomly spaced particles with isotropic hopping potential depending solely on Euclidean interparticle distances. Due to the generality of this model usually…

We discuss motivation and goals of renormalization analyses of group field theory models of simplicial 4d quantum gravity, and review briefly the status of this research area. We present some new computations of perturbative GFT (spin foam)…
