Wilsonian vs . 1 PI renormalization group flow irreversibility
We present a line of reasoning based on the analysis of scale variations of the Wilsonian partition function and the trace of the stress tensor in a curved manifold which results in a statement of irreversibility of Wilsonian renormalization group flow for unitary theories. We also analyze subtleties related to subtractions in the case of the 1PI effective action flow. e-mail: [email protected]...
متن کاملSum Rules for Trace Anomalies and Irreversibility of the Renormalization-group Flow
The purpose of my talk is to review exact results for the trace anomalies c and a in the critical limits of supersymmetric theories, which provide non-perturbative evidence that the renormalization-group (RG) flow is irreversible, and then derive universal sum rules for c, a and a in even dimensions, formulate a theory of the irreversibility of the RG flow, recapitulate the arguments and the ev...
متن کاملIrreversibility of the Renormalization Group Flow in Two Dimensional Quantum Gravity
We argue that the torus partition sum in 2d (super) gravity, which counts physical states in the theory, is a decreasing function of the renormalization group scale. As an application we chart the space of (ĉ ≤ 1) c ≤ 1 models coupled to (super) gravity, confirming and extending ideas due to A. Zamolodchikov, and discuss briefly string theory, where our results imply that the number of degrees ...
متن کاملIrreversibility of the renormalization group flow in non-unitary quantum field theory
We show irreversibility of the renormalization group flow in non-unitary but PT -invariant quantum field theory in two space-time dimensions. In addition to unbroken PT -symmetry and a positive energy spectrum, we assume standard properties of quantum field theory including a local energy-momentum tensor and relativistic invariance. This generalizes Zamolodchikov’s c-theorem to PT -symmetric Ha...
