A role of the renormalization group invariance in calculations of the ground state energy for models with confined fermion fields is discussed. The case of the (1+1)D MIT bag model with the massive fermions is studied in detail.

We present variational estimates for the low-lying energies of a simple matrix model that approximates SU(3) Yang–Mills theory on a three-sphere of radius R. By fixing the ground state energy, we obtain the (integrated) renormalization group (RG) equation for the Yang–Mills coupling g as a function of R. This RG equation allows to estimate the mass of other glueball states, which we find to be in excellent agreement with lattice simulations.

It is very difficult to calculate the accurate ground-state energies of the double-electron atom like helium in a uniform magnetic field. By using the modified configuration interaction (MCI) method and the evolutionary algorithm (EA), we obtained highly accurate results. We discuss the role of magnetic field in the ground state of the double-electron system and the possibility of variational ground-state energy calculation by using evolutionary algorithm directly. Results show that compared with other algorithms, such as the simplex method, EA is more efficient in calculating atomic energies, and can be used in other fields of physics.

The first heat kernel coefficients are calculated for a dispersive ball whose permittivity at high frequency differs from unity by inverse powers of the frequency. The corresponding divergent part of the vacuum energy of the electromagnetic field is given and ultraviolet divergencies are seen to be present. Also in a model where the number of atoms is fixed the pressure exhibits infinities. As a consequence, the ground-state energy for a dispersive dielectric ball cannot be interpreted easily.

The operator-theoretic renormalization group (RG) methods are powerful analytic tools to explore spectral properties of field-theoretical models such as quantum electrodynamics (QED) with non-relativistic matter. In this paper, these methods are extended and simplified. In a companion paper, our variant of operator-theoretic RG methods is applied to establishing the limiting absorption principle in non-relativistic QED near the ground state energy.
