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.

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.

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.

First Order Differential Equations

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.

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.

The quantum field theory describing electric and magnetic charges and revealing a dual symmetry was developed in the Zwanziger formalism. The renormalization group (RG) equations for both fine structure constants — electric α and magnetic [Formula: see text] — were obtained. It was shown that the Dirac relation is valid for the renormalized α and [Formula: see text] at the arbitrary scale, but these RG equations can be considered perturbatively only in the small region: 0.25≲α, [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] given by the Dirac relation: [Formula: see text].
