Nonthermal fixed points and the functional renormalization group
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nonthermal fixed points represent basic properties of quantum field theories, in addition to vacuum or thermal equilibrium fixed points. The functional renormalization group on a closed real-time path provides a common framework for their description. For the example of an O(N) symmetric scalar theory it reveals a hierarchy of fixed point solutions, with increasing complexity from vacuum and thermal equilibrium to nonequilibrium.

Fixed points and the spontaneous breaking of scale invariance
We investigate critical N-component scalar field theories and the spontaneous breaking of scale invariance in three dimensions using functional renormalization. Global and local renormalization group flows are solved analytically in the infinite N limit to establish the exact phase diagram of the theory including theWilson-Fisher fixed point and a line of asymptotically safe UV fixed points. We...
متن کاملHigher Derivative Gravity from the Universal Renormalization Group Machine
We study the renormalization group flow of higher derivative gravity, utilizing the functional renormalization group equation for the average action. Employing a recently proposed algorithm, termed the universal renormalization group machine, for solving the flow equation, all the universal features of the one-loop beta-functions are recovered. While the universal part of the beta-functions adm...
متن کاملFermionic renormalization group methods for transport through inhomogeneous Luttinger liquids
We compare two fermionic renormalization group methods which have been used to investigate the electronic transport properties of one-dimensional metals with twoparticle interaction (Luttinger liquids) and local inhomogeneities. The first one is a poor man’s method setup to resum “leading-log” divergences of the effective transmission at the Fermi momentum. Generically the resulting equations c...
متن کاملRenormalization Group Evolution and Infra-red Fixed Points in Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with Baryon and Lepton Number Violation
We study the renormalization group evolution and infra-red stable fixed points of the Yukawa couplings and the soft supersymmetry breaking trilinear couplings of the minimal supersymmetric standard model with baryon and lepton number (and R-parity) violation involving the heaviest generations. We show analytically that in the Yukawa sector there is only one infra-red stable fixed point. This co...
متن کاملRenormalization for breakup of invariant tori
We present renormalization group operators for the breakup of invariant tori with winding numbers that are quadratic irrationals. We find the simple fixed points of these operators and interpret the map pairs with critical invariant tori as critical fixed points. Coordinate transformations on the space of maps relate these fixed points, and also induce conjugacies between the corresponding oper...
