Renormalisation group flows of boundary theories
نویسنده
چکیده
We review recent developments in the theory of renormalisation group flows in minimal models with boundaries. Among these, we discuss in particular the perturbative calculations of Recknagel et al, not only as a tool to predict the IR endpoints of certain flows, but also as a motivation for considering the particular limiting case of c=1. By treating this limit, we are able to investigate a wide class of perturbations by considering them as deformations away from the c=1 point. We also present the truncated conformal space approach as a tool for investigating the space of RG flows and checking particular predictions.

Holographic renormalisation group flows and renormalisation from a Wilsonian perspective
From the Wilsonian point of view, renormalisable theories are understood as submanifolds in theory space emanating from a particular fixed point under renormalisation group evolution. We show how this picture precisely applies to their gravity duals. We investigate the Hamilton-Jacobi equation satisfied by the Wilson action and find the corresponding fixed points and their eigendeformations, wh...
متن کاملNon-perturbative thermal flows and resummations
We construct a functional renormalisation group for thermal fluctuations. Thermal resummations are naturally built in, and the infrared problem of thermal fluctuations is well under control. The viability of the approach is exemplified for thermal scalar field theories. In gauge theories the present setting allows for the construction of a gauge-invariant thermal renormalisation group.
متن کاملCritical exponents from optimised renormalisation group flows
Within the exact renormalisation group, the scaling solutions for O(N) symmetric scalar field theories are studied to leading order in the derivative expansion. The Gaussian fixed point is examined for d > 2 dimensions and arbitrary infrared regularisation. The Wilson-Fisher fixed point in d = 3 is studied using an optimised flow. We compute critical exponents and subleading corrections-to-scal...
متن کاملUniversality and the renormalisation group
Several functional renormalisation group (RG) equations including Polchinski flows and Exact RG flows are compared from a conceptual point of view and in given truncations. Similarities and differences are highlighted with special emphasis on stability properties. The main observations are worked out at the example of O(N) symmetric scalar field theories where the flows, universal critical expo...
متن کاملRenormalisation group flows for gauge theories in axial gauges
Gauge theories in axial gauges are studied using Exact Renormalisation Group flows. We introduce a background field in the infrared regulator, but not in the gauge fixing, in contrast to the usual background field gauge. We discuss the absence of spurious singularities and the finiteness of the flow. It is shown how heat-kernel methods can be used to obtain approximate solutions to the flow and...
