The RG-2 flow is the two-loop approximation for the world-sheet non-linear sigma model renormalization group flow. The first truncation of the flow is the well known Ricci flow, at two loops higher order curvature terms appear, changing…

We consider two-level detectors coupled to a scalar field and moving on arbitrary trajectories in Minkowski space-time. We first derive a generic expression for the response function using a (novel) regularization procedure based on the…

We comment on Weinberg's interesting analysis of asymptotically safe inflation (arXiv:0911.3165). We find that even if the gravity theory exhibits an ultraviolet fixed point, the energy scale during inflation is way too low to drive the…

A general expression for quasi-local energy flux for spacetime perturbation is derived from covariant Hamiltonian formulation using functional differentiability and symplectic structure invariance, which is independent of the choice of the…

We prove the spacetime positive mass theorem in dimensions less than eight. This theorem states that for any asymptotically flat initial data set satisfying the dominant energy condition, the ADM energy-momentum vector $(E,P)$ of the…

The renormalization group flow recently found by Br\'ezin and Zinn- Justin by integrating out redundant entries of the $(N+1)\times (N+1)$ hermitian random matrix is studied. By introducing explicitly the RG flow parameter, and adding…

We calculate two-point energy level correlation function in weakly disorderd metallic grain with taking account of localization corrections to the universal random matrix result. Using supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model and exactly…

Starting from an ultraviolet fixed point, we study the infrared behavior of quantum Weyl gravity in terms of a functional renormalization group (RG) flow equation. To do so, we employ two classes of Bach-flat backgrounds, namely maximally…

The gradient flow is the evolution of fields and physical quantities along a dimensionful parameter~$t$, the flow time. We give a simple argument that relates this gradient flow and the Wilsonian renormalization group (RG) flow. We then…

We prove the scattering for the defocusing generalized Benjamin-Ono equation in the energy space $H^{\frac{1}{2}}(\mathbb{R})$. We first establish the monotonicity formula that describes the unidirectional propagation. More precisely, it…

A one-dimensional system of bosons with short-range repulsion and mid-range attraction is used as a laboratory to explore the evolution of many-body forces by the Similarity Renormalization Group (SRG). The free-space SRG is implemented for…

We study a four-dimensional spacetime induced by the recoil of a D(irichlet)-particle, embeded in it, due to scattering by a moving string. The induced spacetime has curvature only up to a radius that depends on the energy of the incident…

Bukhvostov and Lipatov have shown that weakly interacting instantons and anti-instantons in the $O(3)$ non-linear sigma model in two dimensions are described by an exactly soluble model containing two coupled Dirac fermions. We propose an…

The renormalization group method is employed to study the effective potential in curved spacetime with torsion. The renormalization-group improved effective potential corresponding to a massless gauge theory in such a spacetime is found and…

We show that for two dimensional manifolds M with negative Euler characteristic there exists subsets of the space of smooth Riemannian metrics which are invariant and either parabolic or backwards-parabolic for the 2nd order RG flow. We…

We consider the Cauchy problem for an inviscid irrotational fluid on a domain with a free boundary governed by a fourth order linear elasticity equation. We first derive the Craig-Sulem-Zakharov formulation of the problem and then establish…

We explore the cosmological dynamics of an effective f(R) model constructed from a renormalisation group (RG) improvement of the Einstein--Hilbert action, using the non-perturbative beta functions of the exact renormalisation group…

We discuss a model in which our universe is pictured as a recoiling Dirichlet brane: we find that a proper treatment of the recoil leads naturally to supersymmetry obstruction on the four-dimensional world. An essential feature of our…

In this paper we consider singular timelike spherical hypersurfaces embedded in a $D$-dimensional spherically symmetric bulk spacetime which is an electrovacuum solution of Einstein equations with cosmological constant. We analyse the…

Closed string tachyon condensation resolves the singularities of nonsupersymmetric orbifolds, however the resolved space typically has fewer D-brane charges than that of the orbifold. The description of the tachyon condensation process via…
