چکیده

Interpreting RG flows as dynamical systems in the space of couplings we produce a variety of constraints, global (topological) as well as local. These constraints, in turn, rule out some of the proposed RG flows and also predict new phases and fixed points, surprisingly, even in familiar theories such as O(N) model, QED3, or QCD4. © 2017 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Counting RG flows

Interpreting renormalization group flows as solitons interpolating between different fixed points, we ask various questions that are normally asked in soliton physics but not in renormalization theory. Can one count RG flows? Are there different “topological sectors” for RG flows? What is the moduli space of an RG flow, and how does it compare to familiar moduli spaces of (supersymmetric) dowai...

Beta Function Constraints From Renormalization Group Flows in Spin Systems

Inspired by previous work on the constraints that duality imposes on beta functions of spin models, we propose a consistency condition between those functions and RG flows at different points in coupling constant space. We show that this consistency holds for a non self-dual model which admits an exact RG flow, but that it is violated when the RG flow is only approximate. We discuss the use of ...

Resonant Gluing bifurcations

We consider the codimension-three phenomenon of homoclinic bifurcations of flows containing a pair of orbits homoclinic to a saddle point whose principal eigenvalues are in resonance. We concentrate upon the simplest possible configuration, the so-called “figure-of-eight,” and reduce the dynamics near the homoclinic connections to those on a two-dimensional locally invariant centre manifold. Th...

“integrability” of Rg Flows and Duality in Three Dimensions in the 1/n Expansion

I study some classes of RG flows in three dimensions that are classically conformal and have manifest g → 1/g dualities. The RG flow interpolates between known (four-fermion, WilsonFischer, φ3) and new interacting fixed points. These models have two remarkable properties: i) the RG flow can be integrated for arbitrarily large values of the couplings g at each order of the 1/N expansion; ii) the...
