The bulk locality in the constructive holographic renormalization group requires miraculous cancellations among various local renormalization group functions. The cancellation is not only from the properties of the spectrum but from more detailed aspects of operator product expansions in relation to conformal anomaly. It is remarkable that one-loop computation of the universal local renormalization group functions in the weakly coupled limit of the $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory fulfils the necessary condition for the cancellation in the strongly coupled limit in its $SL(2,\mathbf{Z})…
General prescriptions of differential renormalization are presented. It is shown that renormalization group functions are straightforwardly expressed through some constants that naturally arise within this approach. The status of the action principle in the framework of differential renormalization is discussed.
Various uses of the renormalization group are examined.
We overview the entire renormalization theory, both perturbative and non-perturbative, by the method of the exact renormalization group (ERG). We emphasize particularly on the perturbative application of the ERG to the phi4 theory and QED in the four dimensional euclidean space.
The renormalization group flow is presented for the two-dimensional sine-Gordon model within the framework of the functional renormalization group method by including the wave-function renormalization constant. The Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinski type phase structure is recovered as the interpolating scaling law between two competing IR attractive area of the global renormalization group flow.
The gradient flow exact renormalization group (GFERG) is a formulation of the exact renormalization group that keeps exact gauge invariance. GFERG can keep also modified chiral invariance. We will show that this formulation reproduces the correct axial anomaly in four dimensions.
We construct a three-dimensional geometry interpolating two different AdS spaces. From the dual quantum field theory viewpoint, it corresponds to a nontrivial renormalization group flow from a UV to another IR conformal field theory. On this geometry, we discuss the change of the central charge in a momentum-space and real-space renormalization group flow. The result shows in both renormalization prescriptions that the central charge monotonically decreases along the renormalization group flow.
We start with a simple introduction into the renormalization group (RG) in quantum field theory and give an overview of the renormalization group method. The third section is devoted to essential topics of the renorm-group use in the QFT. Here, some fresh results are included. Then we turn to the remarkable proliferation of the RG ideas into various fields of physics. The last section summarizes an impressive recent progress of the "QFT renormalization group" application in mathematical physics.
A Yang-Mills type two matrix model with mass terms is studied by use of a matrix renormalization group approach proposed by Brezin and Zinn-Justin. The renormalization group method indicates that the model exhibits a critical behavior similar to that of two dimensional Euclidean gravity. A massless limit and the generation of quadratic terms along the renormalization group flow are discussed.
We analyze the renormalization of wave functionals and energy eigenvalues in field theory. A discussion of the structure of the renormalization group equation for a general Hamiltonian system is also given.
We discuss the application of the method of characteristics to the renormalization-group equation for the perturbative QCD series within the electron-positron annihilation cross-section. We demonstrate how one such renormalization-group improvement of this series is equivalent to a closed-form summation of the first four towers of renormalization-group accessible logarithms to all orders of perturbation theory.
We comment on a recent puzzle regarding renormalization group invariance of exact results in SUSY theories, and argue that a purported renormalization of the dynamical scale Λdoes not in fact occur.
The running coupling constants are introduced in Quantum Mechanics and their evolution is described by the help of the renormalization group equation.
We demonstrate how to extract all the one-loop renormalization group equations for arbitrary quantum field theories from knowledge of an appropriate Seeley--DeWitt coefficient. By formally solving the renormalization group equations to one loop, we renormalization group improve the classical action, and use this to derive the leading-logarithms in the one-loop effective action for arbitrary quantum field theories.
The general prescription for constructing the continuum limit of a field theory is explained using Wilson's renormalization group. We then formulate the renormalization group in perturbation theory and apply it to the four dimensional phi4 theory and QED.
The gauge dependence problem of the effective action for general gauge theories in the framework of a modified functional renormalization group approach proposed recently is studied. It is shown that the effective action remains gauge-dependent on-shell.
We derive a new renormalization group to calculate a non-trivial critical exponent of the divergent correlation length which gives a universality classification of essential singularities in infinite-order phase transitions. This method resolves the problem of a vanishing scaling matrix. The exponent is obtained from the maximal eigenvalue of a scaling matrix in this renormalization group, as in the case of ordinary second-order phase transitions. We exhibit several nontrivial universality classes in infinite-order transitions different from the well-known Berezinski\uı-Kosterlitz-Thouless tra…
We prove a c-theorem for holographic theories.
We compute the critical exponents of $d = 1$ string theory to leading order, using the renormalization group approach recently suggested by Brézin and Zinn-Justin.
We prove that the functional renormalization group flow equation admits a perturbative solution and show explicitly the scheme transformation that relates it to the standard schemes of perturbation theory. We then define a universal scheme within the functional renormalization group.
Renormalization group procedure suggests that the low-energy behavior of effective coupling constant in asymptotically free Hamiltonians is connected with the existence of bound states and depends on how the interactions responsible for the binding are included in the renormalization group equations.
We incorporate running parameters and anomalous dimensions into the framework of the exact renormalization group. We modify the exact renormalization group differential equations for a real scalar field theory, using the anomalous dimensions of the squared mass and the scalar field. Following a previous paper in which an integral equation approach to the exact renormalization group was introduced, we reformulate the modified differential equations as integral equations that define the continuum limit directly in terms of a running squared mass and self-coupling constant. Universality of the co…
The equivalence between the holographic renormalization group and the soft dilaton theorem is shown for a class of wrapped metrics solutions of the string beta function equations for the bosonic string.
We propose a gauge invariant formulation of the exact renormalization group equation for nonsupersymmetric pure U(N) Yang-Mills theory, based on the construction by Tim Morris. In fact we show that our renormalization group equation amounts to a regularized version of the loop equation, thereby providing a direct relation between the exact renormalization group and the Schwinger-Dyson equations. We also discuss a possible implication of our formulation to the holographic correspondence of the bulk gravity and the boundary gauge theory.
We use the Wilson renormalization group (RG) formulation to solve the fine-tuning procedure needed in renormalization schemes breaking the gauge symmetry. To illustrate this method we systematically compute the non-invariant couplings of the ultraviolet action of the SU(2) pure Yang-Mills theory at one-loop order.
I review my explanation of the irreversibility of the renormalization-group flow in even dimensions greater than two and address new investigations and tests.
We construct a gravity dual for scale invariant but non-conformal field theories with a cyclic renormalization group flow. A slight modification of our construction gives a gravity dual of discretely scale invariant field theories. The underlying gravitational theory breaks the null energy condition.
A version of the Wilson Renormalization Group Equation consistent with gauge symmetry is presented. A perturbative renormalizability proof is established. A wilsonian derivation of the Callan-Symanzik equation is given.
The Wilsonian exact renormalization group gives a natural framework in which ultraviolet and infrared divergences can be treated separately. In massless QED we introduce, as the only mass parameter, a renormalization scale $Ł_R > 0$. We prove, using the flow equation technique, that infrared convergence is a necessary consequence of any zero-momentum renormalization condition at $Ł_R$ compatible with the effective Ward identities and axial symmetry. The same formalism is applied to renormalize gauge-invariant composite operators and to prove their infrared finiteness; in particular we consider…
We consider target space duality transformations for heterotic sigma models and strings away from renormalization group fixed points. By imposing certain consistency requirements between the T-duality symmetry and renormalization group flows, the one loop gauge beta function is uniquely determined, without any diagram calculations. Classical T-duality symmetry is a valid quantum symmetry of the heterotic sigma model, severely constraining its renormalization flows at this one loop order. The issue of heterotic anomalies and their cancelation is addressed from this duality constraining viewpoin…
In connection with the question of color confinement the origin of the Goto-Imamura-Schwinger term has been studied with the help of renormalization group. An emphasis has been laid on the difference between theories with and without a cut-off.
Renormalization techniques in perturbative quantum field theory were known, from their inception, to have a strong combinatorial content emphasized, among others, by Zimmermann's celebrated forest formula. The present article reports on recent advances on the subject, featuring the role played by the Dynkin operators (actually their extension to the Hopf algebraic setting) at two crucial levels of renormalization, namely the Bogolioubov recursion and the renormalization group (RG) equations. For that purpose, an iterated integrals toy model is introduced to emphasize how the operators appear n…
Renormalization schemes and cutoff schemes allow for the introduction of various distinct renormalization scales for distinct couplings. We consider the coupled renormalization group flow of several marginal couplings which depend on just as many renormalization scales. The usual $β$ functions describing the flow with respect to a common global scale are assumed to be given. Within this framework one can always construct a metric and a potential in the space of couplings such that the $β$ functions can be expressed as gradients of the potential. Moreover the potential itself can be derived exp…
In this lecture, we review the derivation of the holographic renormalization group given in hep-th/9912012. Some extra background material is included, and various applications are discussed.
In this paper the whole geometrical set-up giving a conformally invariant holographic projection of a diffeomorphism invariant bulk theory is clarified. By studying the renormalization group flow along null geodesic congruences a holographic version of Zamolodchikov's c-theorem is proven.
Effective potential for scalar $λϕ^4$ theory is obtained using the exact renormalization group method which includes both the usual one-loop contribution as well as the dominant higher loop effects. Our numerical calculation indicates a breakdown of naive one-loop result for sufficiently large renormalized coupling constant.
It is shown that the Holographic Renormalization Group can be formulated universally within Quantum Field Theory as (the quantization of) the Hamiltonian flow on the cotangent bundle to the space of gauge-invariant single-trace operators supplied with the canonical symplectic structure. The classical Hamiltonian dynamics is recovered in the large $N$ limit.
We derive the Wilsonian renormalization group equation in two dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models. This equation shows that the sigma models on compact Einstein Kähler manifolds are aymptotically free. This result is gerenal and does not depend on the specific forms of the Kähler potentials. We also examine the renormalization group flow in a new model which connects two manifolds with different global symmetries.
We revisit the unparticle interactions and propagators from the AdS-CFT point of view, and we show how the contact terms and their renormalization group flow appear in the context of the holographic renormalization. We study both vector unparticles and unfermions, uncovering the relevant boundary conditions and renormalization group flows.
We introduce a new prescription for renormalizing Feynman diagrams. The prescription is similar to BPHZ, but it is mass independent, and works in the massless limit as the MS scheme with dimensional regularization. The prescription gives a diagrammatic solution to Wilson's exact renormalization group differential equation.
First-order `Bogomol'nyi' equations are found for dilaton domain walls of D-dimensional gravity with the general dilaton potential admitting a stable anti-de Sitter vacuum. Implications for renormalization group flow in the holographically dual field theory are discussed.
We consider renormalization groups of transformations composed of a Gaussian convolution and a field dilatation. As an example, we consider perturbations of a single component real Euclidean free field $ϕ$ with covariance $(-\bigtriangleup)^{-1+\fracε{2}}$. We show that the renormalization group admits two equivalent formulations called massless picture and massive picture respectively. We then show in the massive picture that the renormalization group has a symmetry. The symmetry consists of global scale transformations composed with certain Gaussian convolutions. We translate the symmetry ba…
We discuss a general method of constructing the products of composite operators using the exact renormalization group formalism. Considering mainly the Wilson action at a generic fixed point of the renormalization group, we give an argument for the validity of short distance expansions of operator products. We show how to compute the expansion coefficients by solving differential equations, and test our method with some simple examples.
We obtain analytical five-loop results for the renormalization group $β$-function of Quantum Electrodynamics with the single lepton in different renormalization schemes. The theoretical consequences of the results obtained are discussed.
Mass independent renormalization group functions in massive theories are related to normalization properties of the Green functions in the asymptotic region, where mass effects are neglected. In this special form the renormalization group invariance is restricted to the asymptotic region and consequently mass effects cannot be recoverd by a integration of the renormalziation group equation. It is shown, that mass independence results in the limit of a large normalization point, whenever a Callan-Symanzik equation exists and contains the same differential operators as the renormalization group …
We compare the results of renormalization-group and lattice studies for the properties of the electroweak phase transition. This comparison reveals the mechanisms that underlie the phenomenology of the phase transition.
We discuss the renormalization group flow, duality, and supersymmetry breaking in N = 1 supersymmetric SU(N)xSU(M) gauge theories.
This is a very brief introduction to Wilson's Renormalization Group with emphasis on mathematical developments.
A recently proposed renormalization group approach to dimensional crossover in quasi-one-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets is improved and then shown to give identical results, in some cases, to those obtained earlier.
We propose a simple derivation of renormalization group equations and Callan-Symanzik equations as decoupling theorems of the structures underlying effective field theories.
A class of exact infinitesimal renormalization group transformations is proposed and studied. These transformations are pure changes of variables (i.e., no integration or elimination of some degrees of freedom is required) such that a saddle point approximation is more accurate, becoming, in some cases asymptotically exact as the transformations are iterated. The formalism provides a simplified and unified approach to several known renormalization groups. It also suggests some new ways in which renormalization group methods might successfully be applied. In particular, an exact gauge covariant…
Using the renormalization group approach, the Coulomb gas and the coset techniques, the effect of slightly relevant perturbations is studied for the second parafermionic field theory with the symmetry $Z\_{5}$. New fixed points are found and classified.
We study the renormalization group flow of higher derivative gravity, utilizing the functional renormalization group equation for the average action. Employing a recently proposed algorithm, termed the universal renormalization group machine, for solving the flow equation, all the universal features of the one-loop beta-functions are recovered. While the universal part of the beta-functions admits two fixed points, we explicitly show that the existence of one of them depends on the choice of regularization scheme, indicating that it is most probably unphysical.
We reanalyze the construction of the gravitational functional renormalization group equation tailored to the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formulation emphasizing its connection to the covariant formulation. The results obtained from projecting the renormalization group flow onto the Einstein-Hilbert action are reviewed in detail and we provide a novel example illustrating how the formalism may be connected to the Causal Dynamical Triangulations approach to quantum gravity.
We investigate the renormalization group approach to nonequilibrium field theory. We show that it is possible to derive nontrivial renormalization group flow from iterative coarse graining of a closed-time-path action. This renormalization group is different from the usual in quantum field theory textbooks, in that it describes nontrivial noise and dissipation. We work out a specific example where the variation of the closed-time-path action leads to the so-called Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation, and show that the renormalization group obtained by coarse graining this action, agrees with the dyna…
The flow equations of the Functional Renormalization Group are applied to the O(N)-symmetric scalar theory, for N=1 and N=4, in four Euclidean dimensions, d=4, to determine the effective potential and the renormalization function of the field in the broken phase. In our numerical analysis, the infrared limit, corresponding to the vanishing of the running momentum scale in the equations, is approached to obtain the physical values of the parameters by extrapolation. In the N=4 theory a non-perturbatively large value of the physical renormalization of the longitudinal component of the field is o…
Yang--Mills $β$ function in the gradient flow exact renormalization group
本文通过梯度流精确重整化群方法，计算了Yang-Mills理论的一阶重整化群函数，并论证了其在扰动理论中与传统方法的一致性。
The one-loop renormalization of a general chiral gauge theory without scalar and Majorana fields is fully worked out within Breitenlohner and Maison dimensional renormalization scheme. The coefficients of the anomalous terms introduced in the Slavnov-Taylor equations by the minimal subtraction algorithm are calculated and the asymmetric counterterms needed to restore the BRS symmetry, if the anomaly cancellation conditions are met, are computed. The renormalization group equation and its coefficients are worked out in the anomaly free case. The computations draw heavily from the existence of a…
We study the renormalization group flow of the O(N) non-linear sigma model in arbitrary dimensions. The effective action of the model is truncated to fourth order in the derivative expansion and the flow is obtained by combining the non-perturbative renormalization group and the background field method. We investigate the flow in three dimensions and analyze the phase structure for arbitrary N. The corresponding results about the critical properties of the models will serve as a reference for upcoming simulations with the Monte-Carlo renormalization group.
We consider the double-scaling limit in matrix models for two-dimensional quantum gravity, and establish the nonperturbative functional Renormalization Group as a novel technique to compute the corresponding interacting fixed point of the Renormalization Group flow. We explicitly evaluate critical exponents and compare to the exact results. The functional Renormalization Group method allows a generalization to tensor models for higher-dimensional quantum gravity and to group field theories. As a simple example how this method works for such models, we compute the leading-order beta function fo…
