Exact renormalization group equation and decoupling in quantum field theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
New proves of decoupling of massive fields in several quantum field theories are derived in the effective Lagrangian approach based on Wilson renormalization group. In the most interesting case of gauge theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking, the approach, combined with the quantum action principle, leads to a rather simple proof to all orders. 1 e-mail address: [email protected] 2 e-mail address: [email protected] ∗ Work supported in part by Ministero dell’Universitá e della Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica

Weyl-invariant Quantization of Liouville Field Theory
Liouville field theory is quantized by means of a Wilsonian effective action and its associated exact renormalization group equation. For c < 1, an approximate solution of this equation is obtained by truncating the space of all action functionals. The Ward identities resulting from the Weyl invariance of the theory are used in order to select a specific universality class for the renormalizati...
متن کاملQuantum Liouville Field Theory as Solution of a Flow Equation
A general framework for the Weyl invariant quantization of Liouville field theory by means of an exact renormalization group equation is proposed. This flow equation describes the scale dependence of the effective average action which has a built-in infrared cutoff. For c < 1 it is solved approximately by a truncation of the space of action functionals. We derive the Ward identities associated ...
متن کاملApplications of Exact Renormalization Group Techniques to the Non-perturbative Study of Supersymmetric Gauge Field Theory
Exact Renormalization Group techniques are applied to supersymmetric models in order to get some insights into the low energy effective actions of such theories. Starting from the ultra-violet finite mass deformed N =4 supersymmetric Yang– Mills theory, one varies the regularising mass and compensates for it by introducing an effective Wilsonian action. (Polchinski’s) renormalization group equa...
متن کاملExact CTP renormalization group equation for the coarse-grained effective action.
We consider a scalar field theory in Minkowski spacetime and define a coarse grained Closed Time Path (CTP) effective action by integrating quantum fluctuations of wavelengths shorter than a critical value. We derive an exact CTP renormalization group equation and solve it using a derivative expansion approach. Explicit calculation is performed for the λφ4 theory. We discuss the relevance of th...
متن کاملScheme Independence as an Inherent Redundancy in Quantum Field Theory
The path integral formulation of Quantum Field Theory implies an infinite set of local, Schwinger-Dyson-like relations. Exact renormalization group equations can be cast as a particular instance of these relations. Furthermore, exact scheme independence is turned into a vector field transformation of the kernel of the exact renormalization group equation under field redefinitions. Relations for...
