A renormalization group theory of cultural evolution
We present a theory of cultural evolution based upon a renormalization group scheme. We consider rational but cognitively limited agents who optimize their decision making process by iteratively updating and refining the mental representation of their natural and social environment. These representations are built around the most important degrees of freedom of their world. Cultural coherence a...
متن کاملRenormalization Group and Probability Theory
The renormalization group has played an important role in the physics of the second half of the twentieth century both as a conceptual and a calculational tool. In particular it provided the key ideas for the construction of a qualitative and quantitative theory of the critical point in phase transitions and started a new era in statistical mechanics. Probability theory lies at the foundation o...
متن کاملRenormalization-Group-improved perturbation theory
A method for computing the low-energy non-perturbative properties of SUSY GFT, starting from the microscopic lagrangian model, is presented. The method relies on covariant SUSY Feynman graph techniques, adapted to low energy, and RenormalizationGroup-improved perturbation theory. We apply the method to calculate the glueball superpotential in N = 1 SU(2) SYM and obtain a potential of the Venezi...
متن کاملChapter 14 Renormalization Group Theory
In this chapter, we discuss the renormalization-group (RG) approach to quantum field theory. As we will see, renormalization group theory is not only a very powerful technique for studying strongly-interacting problems, but also gives a beautiful conceptual framework for understanding many-body physics in general. The latter comes about because in practice we are often interested in determining...
متن کاملEvolution of the Bogoluibov Renormalization Group
We start with a simple introduction into the renormalization group (RG) in quantum field theory and give an overview of the renormalization group method. The third section is devoted to essential topics of the renorm-group use in the QFT. Here, some fresh results are included. Then we turn to the remarkable proliferation of the RG ideas into various fields of physics. The last section summarize...
