The advantageous points of ERG in applications to non-perturbative analyses of quantum field theories are discussed in comparison with the Schwinger-Dyson equations. First we consider the relation between these two formulations specially by examining the large N field theories. In the second part we study the phase structure of dynamical symmetry breaking in three dimensional QED as a typical example of the practical application.

AbstractWe consider a specific realization of the renormalization group (RG) transformation acting on functional measures for scalar quantum fields which are expressible as a polymer expansion times an ultra-violet cutoff Gaussian measure. The new and improved definitions and estimates we present are sufficiently general and powerful to allow iteration of the transformation, hence the analysis of complete renormalization group flows, and hence the construction of a variety of scalar quantum field theories.

An approach to the low energy effective action based on the formalism of Green's functions of composite is developed in field theories with dynamical symmetry breaking. The effective action of the gauged Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is derived as a series in powers of the derivatives of composite fields. The mechanism of scale symmetry breaking in this model is discussed.

We discuss peculiarities of quantum fields in de Sitter (dS) space on the example of the self-interacting massive real scalar, minimally coupled to the gravity background. Nonconformal quantum field theories (QFTs) in dS space show very special infrared behavior, which is not shared by quantum fields neither in flat nor in anti-dS space: in dS space loops are not suppressed in comparison with tree level contributions because there are strong infrared corrections. That is true even for massive fields. Our main concern is the interrelation between these infrared effects, the invariance of the QFT under the dS isometry and the (in)stability of dS invariant states (and of dS space itself) under nonsymmetric perturbations.

As a first step in the construction of quantum field theories invariant under the group of diffeomorphisms, we obtain Fock space representations of the algebra of vector fields of the n-torus. These representations have the novel feature of being carried by bilinear forms rather than operators. Nevertheless all the usual manipulations can be defined via a suitable regularization procedure. Our approach is a generalization of Kac-Peterson’s method for Diff (S1) which allows us to explicitly construct “quantum fields” transforming as “classical” tensors.

Renormalizable Relativistic Quantum Field Theories (R2QFTs) are theories In which a few parameters must be taken from observations but otherwise make predictions on the phenomena they describe. The ingreedients of the Standard Model of particles are examples. The most precise of them is Quantum Electro-Dynamics (QED). The QED prediction of the “anomalous” magnetic moment of the muon is discussed as a detailed example. Relativistic quantum fields describe all aspects and properties of particles and their interactions, they are “the mother of all concepts.”
