Explaining universality: infinite limit systems in the renormalization group method

نویسندگان

چکیده

I analyze the role of infinite idealizations used in renormalization group (RG hereafter) method explaining universality across microscopically different physical systems critical phenomena. argue that despite reference to limit such as with correlation lengths during RG process, key phenomena need not involve systems. develop my argument by introducing what regard explanatorily relevant property explanations: linearization* property; then motivate and prove a proposition about support view. As result, explanations are dispensable.

Shadow limit using Renormalization Group method and Center Manifold method

We study a shadow limit (the infinite diffusion coefficient-limit) of a system of ODEs coupled with a semilinear heat equation in a bounded domain with Neumann boundary conditions. In the literature, it was established formally that in the limit, the original semilinear heat equation reduces to an ODE involving the space averages of the solution to the semilinear heat equation and of the nonlin...

Time-Dependent Real-Space Renormalization Group Method

In this paper, using the tight-binding model, we extend the real-space renormalization group method to time-dependent Hamiltonians. We drive the time-dependent recursion relations for the renormalized tight-binding Hamiltonian by decimating selective sites of lattice iteratively. The formalism is then used for the calculation of the local density of electronic states for a one dimensional quant...

Limit Cycles in the Renormalization Group

This paper will review the consequences of having limit cycles in the renormalization group. Characteristics such as discrete symmetry invariance and log periodic behavior of observables are expected in systems that exhibit limit cycles in their renormalization group. Some realizations of limit cycles will be explained. Specifically limit cycles in RG flows will be used to explain the Efimov ef...

New renormalization group approach to the universality classification of infinite-order phase transitions

We derive a new renormalization group to calculate a non-trivial critical exponent of the divergent correlation length which gives a universality classification of essential singularities in infinite-order phase transitions. This method resolves the problem of a vanishing scaling matrix in infinite-order phase transitions. The exponent is obtained from the maximal eigenvalue of a scaling matrix...

Renormalization-group Theory and Universality along the Lambda Line Of

The present status of the renormalization-group (RG) predictions on the superfluid density ρ s and the specific heat C + and C − near the λ-line of 4 He is briefly reviewed. Particular attention is given to universal amplitude ratios related to these quantities. The goals of a new theory project are presented that involves higher-order calculations of the amplitude functions of ρ s , C + and C ...
