Conformal defects describe the universal behaviors of a conformal field theory (CFT) in the presence of a boundary or more general impurities. The coupled critical system is characterized by new conformal anomalies which are analogous to,…

We consider perturbation of a conformal field theory by a pair of relevant logarithmic operators and calculate the beta function up to two loops. We observe that the beta function can not be derived from a potential. Thus the…

A careful analysis of differential renormalization shows that a distinguished choice of renormalization constants allows for a mathematically more fundamental interpretation of the scheme. With this set of a priori fixed integration…

We construct the Zamolodchikov's c-function for the Chiral Gross-Neveu Model up to two loops. We show that the c-function interpolates between the two known critical points of the theory, it is stationary at them and it decreases with the…

The dependence of function renormalization group equation on regulators is investigated. A parameter is introduced to control the suppression of regulators. Functional renormalization group equations will become regulator-independent if…

Large-$N$ renormalization group equations for one- and two-matrix models are derived. The exact renormalization group equation involving infinitely many induced interactions can be rewritten in a form that has a finite number of coupling…

The matching of global anomalies of a supersymmetric gauge theory and its dual is seen to follow from similarities in their classical chiral rings. These similarities provide a formula for the dimension of the dual gauge group. As examples…

The renormalization group flow in two--dimensional field theories is modified if they are coupled to gravity. Beta function coefficients are changed, the $c$--theorem is no longer strictly valid, and flows from fixed points with central…

By completing the old discussion of K.~Wilson, we express the chiral anomaly in terms of a double integral of a three-point function of chiral currents over an arbitrarily small region in the coordinate space. An integrability condition…

We discuss some general aspects of renormalization group flows in four dimensions. Every such flow can be reinterpreted in terms of a spontaneously broken conformal symmetry. We analyze in detail the consequences of trace anomalies for the…

We revisit the existence of monotonic quantities along renormalization group flows using only the Null Energy Condition and the Ryu-Takayanagi formula for the entanglement entropy of field theories with anti-de Sitter gravity duals. In…

For finite volume field theories with discrete translational invariance, conserved currents can be additively renormalized by infrared effects. We demonstrate this for pions using chiral perturbation theory coupled to electromagnetism in a…

We confirm the direct connection between entanglement entropy and the notion of irreversibility in the renormalization-group flow in the context of a simple theory for which a calculation from first principles is feasible. The change of the…

We provide a gravity counterpart of the theorem by Hofman and Strominger that in (1+1) dimension, chiral scale invariance indicates chiral conformal invariance. We show that the strict null energy condition gives a sufficient condition to…

We investigated the chiral symmetry and U_A(1) anomaly at finite temperature by applying the functional renormalization group to the SU(3) linear sigma model. Expanding the local potential around the classical fields, we derived the flow…

We show irreversibility of the renormalization group flow in non-unitary but ${\cal PT}$-invariant quantum field theory in two space-time dimensions. In addition to unbroken $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry and a positive energy spectrum, we assume…

We prove a c-theorem for holographic theories.

In the context of Wilsonian Renormalization, renormalization group (RG) flows are a set of differential equations that defines how the coupling constants of a theory depend on an energy scale. These equations closely resemble…

The integration of high-energy degrees of freedom along the renormalization group (RG) flow in Poincar\'e-invariant theories can be captured by a monotonic c-function. For such theories, holographic monotonic c-functions have been…

Using nonperturbative techniques, we study the renormalization group trajectory between two conformal field theories. Specifically, we investigate a perturbation of the A3 superconformal minimal model such that in the infrared limit the…
