AbstractWe give an elementary proof of the analytic KAM theorem by reducing it to a Picard iteration of a certain PDE with quadratic nonlinearity, the so-called Polchinski renormalization group equation studied in quantum field theory.

Chapter 8 introduces the key ideas of the renormalization group, including how they provide a theoretical scheme and a proper language to face critical phenomena. It covers the scaling transformations of a system and their implementations in the space of the coupling constants and reducing the degrees of freedom. From this analysis, the reader is led to the important notion of relevant, irrelevant and marginal operators and then to the universality of the critical phenomena. Furthermore, the chapter also covers (as regards the RG) transformation laws, effective Hamiltonians, the Gaussian model, the Ising model, operators of quantum field theory, universal ratios, critical exponents and β‎-functions.

Diffusion-reaction phenomena are generally described by parabolic differential equations (PDEs), and I am interested in those possessing solutions that fail at large time. A sophisticated method to study the large-time behavior is the Renormalization Group usually encountered in Particles-Physics and Critical Phenomena. In this paper, I review the application of such an approach. In particular, attention is paid to Quantum Field Theory techniques used for the extraction of the asymptotic solutions to PDEs. Finally, I extend discussion to the fractional-time PDEs and with noise.

We sketch the basic ideas of the lattice regularization in Quantum Field Theory, the corresponding Monte Carlo simulations, and applications to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). This approach enables the numerical measurement of observables at the non-perturbative level. We comment on selected results, with a focus on hadron masses and the link to Chiral Perturbation Theory. At last, we address two outstanding issues: topological freezing and the sign problem.
