We introduce Wilson's, or Polchinski's, exact renormalization group, and review the Local Potential Approximation as applied to scalar field theory. Focusing on the Polchinski flow equation, standard methods are investigated, and by…

In recent papers it has been noted that the local potential approximation of the Legendre and Wilson-Polchinski flow equations give, within numerical error, identical results for a range of exponents and Wilson-Fisher fixed points in three…

We consider the exact renormalization group for a non-canonical scalar field theory in which the field is coupled to the external source in a special non linear way. The Wilsonian action and the average effective action are then simply…

We project the Wilson/Polchinski renormalization group equation onto its uniform external field dependent effective free energy and connected Green's functions. The result is a hierarchy of equations which admits a choice of "natural"…

Exact renormalization group techniques are applied to mass deformed N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, viewed as a regularised N=2 model. The solution of the flow equation, in the local potential approximation, reproduces the one-loop…

We investigate the structure of Polchinski's formulation of the flow equations for the continuum Wilson effective action. Reinterpretations in terms of I.R. cutoff greens functions are given. A promising non-perturbative approximation…

Within the exact renormalisation group, the scaling solutions for O(N) symmetric scalar field theories are studied to leading order in the derivative expansion. The Gaussian fixed point is examined for d>2 dimensions and arbitrary infrared…

We test equivalences between different realisations of Wilson's renormalisation group by computing the leading, subleading, and anti-symmetric corrections-to-scaling exponents, and the full fixed point potential for the Ising universality…

The second functional derivative of the effective potential of pure fermionic field theories is rewritten in a factorized form which facilitates the evaluation of the renormalisation flow rate of the effective action in the Wetterich…

We give the large N limit of the effective potential for the O(N) linear sigma model in four dimensions in terms of the Lambert W function. The effective potential is fully consistent with the renormalization group, and it admits an…

The standard nonperturbative approaches of renormalization group for tensor models are generally focused on a purely local potential approximation (i.e. involving only generalized traces and product of them) and are showed to strongly…

Self-consistent new renormalization group flow equations for an O(N)-symmetric scalar theory are approximated in next-to-leading order of the derivative expansion. The Wilson-Fisher fixed point in three dimensions is analyzed in detail and…

We calculate renormalization group flow equations for the linear sigma-model in large N_c approximation. The flow equations decouple and can be solved analytically. The solution is equal to a self consistent solution of the NJL model in the…

We compute the renormalization group flow of O(N) scalar field theories in de Sitter space using nonperturbative renormalization group techniques in the local potential approximation. We obtain the flow of the effective potential on…

The standard flow equation for the effective average action can be derived from a Legendre transform of Polchinski's exact renormalization group equation. However, the latter is not well adapted for finding fixed-points with non-zero…

A class of asymptotically free scalar theories with O(N) symmetry, defined via the eigenpotentials of the Gaussian fixed point (Halpern-Huang directions), are investigated using renormalization group flow equations. Explicit solutions for…

We consider O(N)-symmetric potentials with a logarithmic singularity in the second field derivative. This class includes BCS and Gross Neveu potentials. Formally, the exact renormalization group equation for the Legendre transform of these…

We apply the exact renormalization group formalism to compute the effective action and potential of the four dimensional O$(N)$ linear sigma model in large $N$. With a finite momentum cutoff in place, the model is well defined. In the naive…

Working in scalar field theory, we consider RG trajectories which correspond to nonrenormalizable theories, in the Wilsonian sense. An interesting question to ask of such trajectories is, given some fixed starting point in parameter space,…

We investigate the convergence of the derivative expansion of the exact renormalisation group, by using it to compute the beta function of scalar theory. We demonstrate that the derivative expansion of the Polchinski flow equation converges…
