The nonperturbative functional renormalization group and its applications

N Dupuis, L Canet, A Eichhorn, W Metzner… - Physics Reports, 2021 - Elsevier
The renormalization group plays an essential role in many areas of physics, both
conceptually and as a practical tool to determine the long-distance low-energy properties of …

Critical phenomena and renormalization-group theory

A Pelissetto, E Vicari - Physics Reports, 2002 - Elsevier
We review results concerning the critical behavior of spin systems at equilibrium. We
consider the Ising and the general O (N)-symmetric universality classes, including the N→ 0 …

Non-perturbative renormalization flow in quantum field theory and statistical physics

J Berges, N Tetradis, C Wetterich - Physics Reports, 2002 - Elsevier
We review the use of an exact renormalization group equation in quantum field theory and
statistical physics. It describes the dependence of the free energy on an infrared cutoff for the …

Nonperturbative evolution equation for quantum gravity

M Reuter - Physical Review D, 1998 - APS
A scale-dependent effective action for gravity is introduced and an exact nonperturbative
evolution equation is derived which governs its renormalization group flow. It is invariant …

Optimized renormalization group flows

DF Litim - Physical Review D, 2001 - APS
We study the optimization of exact renormalization group (ERG) flows. We explain why the
convergence of approximate solutions towards the physical theory is optimized by …

Ground state entanglement in quantum spin chains

JI Latorre, E Rico, G Vidal - arXiv preprint quant-ph/0304098, 2003 - arxiv.org
A microscopic calculation of ground state entanglement for the XY and Heisenberg models
shows the emergence of universal scaling behavior at quantum phase transitions …

Fundamentals of the exact renormalization group

OJ Rosten - Physics Reports, 2012 - Elsevier
Various aspects of the Exact Renormalization Group (ERG) are explored, starting with a
review of the concepts underpinning the framework and the circumstances under which it is …

Investigating the ultraviolet properties of gravity with a Wilsonian renormalization group equation

A Codello, R Percacci, C Rahmede - Annals of Physics, 2009 - Elsevier
We review and extend in several directions recent results on the “asymptotic safety”
approach to quantum gravity. The central issue in this approach is the search of a Fixed …

An introduction to the nonperturbative renormalization group

B Delamotte - Renormalization group and effective field theory …, 2012 - Springer
We give in these notes a short presentation of both the main ideas underlying Wilson's
renormalization group (RG) and their concrete implementation under the form of what is now …

Theory of the weakly interacting Bose gas

JO Andersen - Reviews of modern physics, 2004 - APS
This article reviews recent advances in the theory of the three-dimensional dilute
homogeneous Bose gas at zero and finite temperature. Effective-field-theory methods are …
