Abstract We study relationship between renormalization group and diffusion equation. We consider the exact renormalization group equation for a scalar field that includes an arbitrary cutoff function and an arbitrary quadratic seed action. As a generalization of the result obtained by Sonoda and Suzuki, we find that the correlation functions of diffused fields with respect to the bare action agree with those of bare fields with respect to the effective action, where the diffused field obeys a generalized diffusion equation determined by the cutoff function and the seed action and agrees with the bare field at the initial time.

By applying the renormalization group equation, it has been shown that the effective potential V in the massless [Formula: see text] model and in massless scalar quantum electrodynamics is independent of the scalar field. This analysis is extended here to the massive [Formula: see text] model, showing that the effective potential is independent of ϕ here as well.

We show that it is in principle possible to construct dualities between commutative and non-commutative theories in a systematic way. This construction exploits a generalization of the exact renormalization group equation (ERG). We apply this to the simple case of the Landau problem and then generalize it to the free and interacting non-canonical scalar field theory. This constructive approach offers the advantage of tracking the implementation of the Lorentz symmetry in the non-commutative dual theory. In principle, it allows for the construction of completely consistent non-commutative and non-local theories where the Lorentz symmetry and unitarity are still respected, but may be implemented in a highly non-trivial and non-local manner.

The renormalization group equation is used to obtain an approximate expression for the N-loop effective potential VN(ϕ) for large values of an interacting scalar field ϕ. The expression thus obtained is valid when the leading logarithms are much larger than the nonleading ones.

We study the large-N renormalization group of scalar field theory on a fuzzy sphere. We carry out perturbative analysis and formulate the renormalization group equation. We then search for fixed points and investigate their properties.

The connection between the renormalization group for the σ-model effective action for the Polyakov string and the S-matrix generating functional for dual amplitudes is studied. A more general approach to the renormalization group equation for string theory is proposed.
