The gauge dependence of the renormalization constant of the quark field has been studied with the help of the renormalization group method. In the case of the color gauge field an exact evaluation of the renormalization constant is feasible because of the presence of a sum rule, but in the absence of the corresponding sum rule, only a qualitative evaluation is possible for the quark field.

In this paper we present a method for the determination of the hydraulic permeability for flow in partially saturated porous media. The dependence of hydraulic permeability on effective saturation is not assumed to be a member of any specific finite dimensional class of functions (e.g. vanGenuchten-Mualem, Burdin-Mualem, Brook-Corey). Instead, an infinite dimensional space of functions with limited a priori assumptions (e.g. smoothness, monotonicity) is considered. Consequently, we face a more challenging problem compared to the finite-dimensional case, in which only few tuning parameters need to be determined. We consider the case of 1D unsaturated flow and assume that the data are collected at the outflow of the sample. The hydraulic permeability is determined in an iterative way. We minimize the cost functional reflecting the discrepancy between the measured and computed data. In doing so, we use the Gateaux differential to obtain the direction of the descent.

In this paper we study a particular class of forward rate problems, related to the Vasicek model, where the driving equation is a linear Gaussian stochastic partial differential equation. We first give an existence and uniqueness results of the related mild solution in infinite dimensional setting, then we study the related Ornstein–Uhlenbeck semigroup with respect to the determination of a unique invariant measure for the associated Heath–Jarrow–Morton–Musiela model.

Effective viscosity (EV) of suspensions of puller-like microswimmers (pullers), for example Chlamydamonas algae, is difficult to measure or simulate for all swimmer concentrations. Although there are good reasons to expect that the EV of pullers is similar to that of passive suspensions, analytical determination of the passive EV for all concentrations remains unsatisfactory. At the same time, the EV of bacterial suspensions is closely linked to collective motion in these systems and is biologically significant. We develop an approach for determining analytical EV estimates at all concentrations for suspensions of pullers as well as for passive suspensions. The proposed methods are based on the ideas of renormalization group (RG) theory and construct the EV formula based on the known asymptotics for small concentrations and near the critical point (i.e. approaching dense packing). For passive suspensions, the method is verified by comparison against known theoretical results. We find that the method performs much better than an earlier RG-based technique. For pullers, the validation is done by comparing them to experiments conducted on Chlamydamonas suspensions.

Chapter 5 first recalls the importance of the concept of scale decoupling in physics. It then emphasizes that quantum field theory and the theory of critical phenomena have provided two examples where this concepts fails. To deal with such a situation, a new tool has been invented: the renormalization group. In the framework of effective quantum field theory, a perturbative renormalization group has been formulated. Its implementation has led to the discovery of fixed points as zeros of beta functions, and calculations of critical exponents of a class of macroscopic phase transitions in the form of Wilson–Fisher epsilon or fixed dimension expansions. These expansions being divergent, they could summed by methods based on the Borel transformation and the determination of the large order behaviour of perturbation theory.
