Unified Description

An exact renormalization group equation describes the dependence of the free energy on an infrared cutoff for the quantum or thermal fluctuations. It interpolates between the microphysical laws and the complex macroscopic phenomena. We present a simple unified description of critical phenomena for O(N)-symmetric scalar models in two, three or four dimensions, including essential scaling for the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition.

Infinite Set

The path integral formulation of Quantum Field Theory implies an infinite set of local, Schwinger-Dyson-like relation. Exact renormalization group equations can be cast as a particular instance of these relations. Furthermore, exact scheme independence is turned into a vector field transformation of the kernel of the exact renormalization group equation under field redefinitions.

Perturbative Renormalization

In this article a self-contained exposition of proving perturbative renormalizability of a quantum field theory based on an adaption of Wilson's differential renormalization group equation to perturbation theory is given. The topics treated include the spontaneously broken SU(2) Yang–Mills theory. Although mainly a coherent but selective review, the article contains also some simplifications and extensions with respect to the literature.

Exact Renormalization Group

A simple form of the exact renormalization group method is proposed for the study of supersymmetric gauge field theory. The method relies on the existence of ultraviolet-finite four dimensional gauge theories with extended supersymmetry. The resulting exact renormalization group equation crucially depends on the Konishi anomaly of N=1 super Yang–Mills. We illustrate our method by dealing with the NSVZ exact relation for the beta functions, the N=2 super Yang–Mills effective potential and the N=1 super Yang–Mills gluon superpotential (the so-called Veneziano–Yankielowicz potential).

Exact Renormalization Group

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 aim of this work is to apply the observable-state model for the quantum field theory of a ϕn self-interaction. We show how to obtain finite values for the two-point and n-point correlation functions without introducing counterterms in the Lagrangian. Also, we show how to obtain the renormalization group equation for the mass and the coupling constant. Finally, we find the dependence of the coupling constant with the energy scale and we discuss the validity of the observable-state model in terms of the projection procedure.

The renormalization group equation in quantum field theory is reviewed. The prolongation method is applied to a simplified version of the resulting equation. A system of first order differential equations results which determine the coefficients in the prolonged vector field. Finally, we show how this system can be solved in several cases to determine solutions of these equations.
