The Wilson-Polchinski Renormalization Group Equation in the Planar Limit
نویسنده
چکیده
We derive the Wilson-Polchinski RG equation in the planar limit. We explain that the equation necessarily involves also non-planar amplitudes with sphere topology, which represent multi-trace contributions to the effective action. The resulting RG equation turns out to be of the Hamilton-Jacobi type since loop effects manifest themselves through terms which are linear in first order derivatives of the effective action with respect to the sources. We briefly outline applications to renormalization of non-commutative field theories, matrix models with external sources and holography.

The Wilson-Polchinski exact renormalization group equation
The critical exponent η is not well accounted for in the Polchinski exact formulation of the renormalization group (RG). With a particular emphasis laid on the introduction of the critical exponent η, I re-establish (after Golner, hep-th/9801124) the explicit relation between the early Wilson exact RG equation, constructed with the incomplete integration as cutoff procedure, and the formulation...
متن کاملLarge N and the Renormalization Group Marco
In the large N limit, we show that the Local Potential Approximation to the flow equation for the Legendre effective action, is in effect no longer an approximation, but exact – in a sense, and under conditions, that we determine precisely. We explain why the same is not true for the Polchinski or Wilson flow equations and, by deriving an exact relation between the Polchinski and Legendre effec...
متن کاملThe Renormalization of Non-Commutative Field Theories in the Limit of Large Non-Commutativity
We show that renormalized non-commutative scalar field theories do not reduce to their planar sector in the limit of large noncommutativity. This follows from the fact that the RG equation of the Wilson-Polchinski type which describes the genus zero sector of non-commutative field theories couples generic planar amplitudes with non-planar amplitudes at exceptional values of the external momenta...
متن کاملExact Renormalization Group Equation in Presence of Rescaling Anomaly
Wilson' s approach to renormalization group is reanalyzed for supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Usual demonstration of exact renormalization group equation must be modified due to the presence of the so called Konishi anomaly under the rescaling of superfields. We carry out the explicit computation for N = 1 SUSY Yang-Mills theory with the simpler, gauge invariant regularization method, recentl...
متن کاملO(n ) Wilson-polchinski Exact Renormalization Group Equation: Leading and Next-to-leading Orders in the Derivative Expansion. †
With a view to study the convergence properties of the derivative expansion of the exact renormalization group (RG) equation, I explicitly study the leading and next-to-leading orders of this expansion applied to the Wilson-Polchinski equation in the case of the N-vector model with the symmetry O (N). As a test, the critical exponents η and ν as well as the subcritical exponent ω (and higher on...
