We investigate the order of the color superconducting phase transition using the functional renormalization group approach. We analyze the Ginzburg-Landau effective theory of color superconductivity and more generic scalar $SU(N_c)$ gauge…
The stability of nonrelativistic fermionic systems to interactions is studied within the Renormalization Group framework. A brief introduction to $\phi^4$ theory in four dimensions and the path integral formulation for fermions is given.…
We employ implicit regularization (IReg) in quark-antiquark decays of the Z, or of a scalar (CP-even or odd) boson at NLO, and compare with dimensional schemes to reveal subtleties involving infrared divergence cancellation and…
The divergent large-order behaviour of the perturbative series relevant for the determination of $\as$ from $\tau$ decay is controlled by the leading ultraviolet (UV) renormalon. Even in the absence of the first infrared (IR) renormalon, an…
One of the main sources of theoretical uncertainty in the extraction of the strong coupling from hadronic tau decays stems from the renormalization-group improvement of the series. Perturbative series in QCD are divergent but are (most…
The inconsistency between the fixed-order (FO) and contour-improved (CI) representation of the QCD corrections to the inclusive hadronic tau decay width limits the precision to which the strong coupling can be determined from this process.…
We set up the Functional Renormalisation Group formalism for Tensorial Group Field Theory in full generality. We then apply it to a rank-3 model over U(1) x U(1) x U(1), endowed with a linear kinetic term and nonlocal interactions. The…
The infrared behaviour of a non-mean field spin-glass system is analysed, and the critical exponent related to the divergence of the correlation length is computed at two loops within the epsilon-expansion technique with two independent…
We reanalyze critically the generalized factorization hypothesis in non-leptonic two-body B-decays discussed recently by several authors. In particular we address the determination of the factorization scale $\mu_f$ and of the…
The calculation of higher twist (or dimension) corrections to physical quantities using operator product expansions is delicate. If dimensional regularization is used to regulate the ultra-violet divergences then there are ambiguities in…
We extend approximate next-to-next-to-leading order results for top-pair production to include the semi-leptonic decays of top quarks in the narrow-width approximation. The new hard-scattering kernels are implemented in a fully differential…
Different phenomenological RG transformations based on scaling relations for the derivatives of the inverse correlation length and singular part of the free-energy density are considered. These transformations are tested on the 2D square…
We analyze a variety of integration schemes for the momentum space functional renormalization group calculation with the goal of finding an optimized scheme. Using the square lattice $t-t'$ Hubbard model as a testbed we define and benchmark…
We propose a new concept upon the renormalization group (RG) procedure for an interacting many-electron correlated system in the framework of natural orbitals, and formulate an algorithm for this RG approach. To demonstrate its…
We extend the results on the RG flow in the next to leading order to the case of the supersymmetric minimal models SM_p for p>> 1. We explain how to compute the NS and Ramond fields conformal blocks in the leading order in 1/p and follow…
We analyze the behavior of several renormalization group functions at infrared fixed points for $SU(N)$ gauge theories with fermions in the fundamental and two-indexed representations. This includes the beta function of the gauge coupling,…
Hierarchical renormalization group (RG) transformations are related to nonassociative algebras. These algebras serve as a new basic tool for a rigorous treatment of global RG flows and the search of nontrivial infrared fixed points.…
Coherent state approach has been proposed as an alternate way to deal with the true infrared divergences in light front field theory. We show that infrared divergences in fermion mass renormalization are eliminated to all orders in light…
A scalar theory can have many Gaussian (free) fixed points, corresponding to Lagrangians of the form $\phi\,\Box^k\phi$. We use the non-perturbative RG to study examples of flows between such fixed points. We show that the anomalous…
I give a short review of the relation of infrared renormalons in QCD and higher twist effects, with the emphasis on possible applications. In particular, I present estimates of renormalon-induced uncertainties in deep inelastic sum rules…
