Singular Perturbations in Simple Low Reynolds Number Flows: from Boundary Layers to the Renormalization Group
The seemingly simple problem of determining the drag on a body moving through a very viscous fluid has, for over 150 years, been a source of theoretical confusion, mathematical paradoxes, and experimental artifacts, primarily arising from the complex boundary layer structure of the flow near the body and at infinity. We review the extensive experimental and theoretical literature on this proble...
متن کاملConstraint on Defect and Boundary Renormalization Group Flows.
A conformal field theory (CFT) in dimension d≥3 coupled to a planar, two-dimensional, conformal defect is characterized in part by a "central charge" b that multiplies the Euler density in the defect's Weyl anomaly. For defect renormalization group flows, under which the bulk remains critical, we use reflection positivity to show that b must decrease or remain constant from the ultraviolet to t...
متن کاملRenormalization Group Flows from Five-Dimensional Supergravity †
Perhaps the most extensively tested and studied version of the AdS/CFT correspondence is that of N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in (3 + 1) dimensions and the compactification of IIB supergravity on AdS × S [1]. The relationship between supergravity fields and Yang-Mills operators can most easily be mapped out from the representation structure of the extended superconformal algebra. Take...

متن کاملOptimized renormalization group flows
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 appropriate choices of the regularization. We consider specific optimized regulators for bosonic and fermionic fields and compare the optimized ERG flows with generic ones. This is done up to second order in the derivative expa...
