Abstract There are strong interests in considering the ultra-light scalar field (especially axion) around a rapidly rotating black hole because of the possibility of observing a gravitational waves from axion condensate (axion cloud) around black hole. Motivated by this consideration, we study dynamics of ultra-light scalar field with self-interaction around a rapidly rotating black hole by the Renormalization group method. We found that for the relativistic cloud, saturation of the superradiant instability by the scattering of the axion due to the self-interaction does not occur in the weakly non-linear regime. This means that for the relativistic axion cloud, explosive phenomena called the Bosenova might happen in the realistic situation.

In this work we apply Thompson's scaling approach (of dimensions) to study the scalar field theories Φn. This method can be considered as a simple and alternative way to the renormalization group (RG) approach and when applied to the Φn Lagrangian is able to obtain the coupling constant behavior g(μ), namely the dependence of g on the energy scale μ. The calculations are evaluated just at [Formula: see text], where the dimension dc is similar to a kind of upper critical dimension of the problem, or in other words the dimension where the Φn theory becomes renormalizable, so that we obtain logarithmic behavior of the coupling g at dc. Due to the universal logharithmic behavior of the coupling g at dc for any value of n in the Φn theory, we are able to estimate a certain βn function given in a closed form, which is a novelty obtained by the present method.

The renormalization group (RG) method developed by Ken Wilson more than four decades ago has revolutionized the way we think about problems involving a broad range of energy scales such as phase transitions, turbulence, continuum limits and bifurcations in dynamical systems. The Theme Issue provides articles reviewing recent progress made using the RG method in atomic, condensed matter, nuclear and particle physics. In the following, we introduce these articles in a way that emphasizes common themes and the universal aspects of the method.
