The constraints of N=2 supersymmetry, in combination with several other quite general assumptions, have recently been used to show that N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory has a low energy quantum parameter space symmetry characterised by…
Beta-functions are derived for the flow of N=2 SUSY SU(2) Yang-Mills in 4-dimensions with massless matter multiplets in the fundamental representation of the gauge group. The beta-functions represent the flow of the couplings as the VEV of…
We determine the exact beta function and a RG flow Lyapunov function for N=2 SYM with gauge group SU(n). It turns out that the classical discriminants of the Seiberg-Witten curves determine the RG potential. The radial irreversibility of…
In infinite volume the gradient flow transformation can be interpreted as a continuous real-space Wilsonian renormalization group (RG) transformation. This approach allows one to determine the continuous RG $\beta$ function, an alternative…
We explore novel examples of RG flows preserving a non-invertible self-duality symmetry. Our main focus is on $\mathcal{N}=1$ quadratic superpotential deformations of 4d $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory with gauge algebra…
We study the Renormalization Group (RG) flow of critical bosonic background fields in the framework of the RG approach to string theory. In this approach quantum field theory beta-functions are the extra inputs in solving the string theory…
Using finite size scaling techniques and a renormalization scheme based on the Gradient Flow, we determine non-perturbatively the $\beta$-function of the $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory for a range of renormalized couplings $\bar g^2\sim 1-12$.…
It is argued that there are strong similarities between the infra-red physics of N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills and that of the quantum Hall effect, both systems exhibit a hierarchy of vacua with a sub-group of the modular group mapping…
We study the 5 dimensional SUGRA AdS duals of N=4, N=2 and N=1 Super-Yang-Mills theories. To sequentially break the N=4 theory mass terms are introduced that correspond, via the duality, to scalar VEVs in the SUGRA. We determine the…
We generalize the gradient flow equation for field theories with nonlinearly realized symmetry. Applying the formalism to super Yang-Mills theory, we construct a supersymmetric extension of the gradient flow equation. It can be shown that…
The behavior of the beta-function of the low-energy effective coupling in the N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) QCD with several massive matter hypermultiplets and in the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory is determined near the superconformal points in the…
The gradient flow equation is derived in four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in terms of the component field of the Wess-Zumino gauge. We show that the flow-time derivative and supersymmetry transformation that is naively…
We propose a generalization of the gradient flow equation for quantum field theories with nonlinearly realized symmetry. Applying the equation to $\mathcal{N}=1$ $SU(N)$ super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions, we construct a…
The use of gauged ${\cal N} = 8$ supergravity as a tool in studying the AdS/CFT correspondence for ${\cal N} = 4$ Yang-Mills theory is reviewed. The supergravity potential implies a non-trivial, supersymmetric IR fixed point, and the flow…
We describe a supersymmetric RG flow between conformal fixed points of a two-dimensional quantum field theory as an analytic domain wall solution of the three-dimensional SO(4) x SO(4) gauged supergravity. Its ultraviolet fixed point is an…
The Yang-Mills gradient flow in finite volume is used to define a running coupling scheme. As our main result the discrete beta-function, or step scaling function, is calculated for scale change s=3/2 at several lattice spacings for SU(3)…
We give a proof of perturbative renormalizability of SU(2) Yang--Mills theory in four-dimensional Euclidean space which is based on the Flow Equations of the renormalization group. The main motivation is to present a proof which does not…
Nonperturbative determinations of the renormalization group $\beta$ function are essential to connect lattice results to perturbative predictions of strongly coupled gauge theories and to determine the $\Lambda$ parameter or the strong…
We consider the most general perturbatively renormalizable theory of vector fields in four dimensions with a global SU(N) symmetry and massless couplings. The Lagrangian contains 1 quadratic, 2 cubic and 4 quartic couplings. The RG flow…
Supersymmetry is one of the possible scenarios for physics beyond the standard model. The building blocks of this scenario are supersymmetric gauge theories. In our work we study the $\mathcal{N}=1$ Super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory with gauge…
