On the Construction of Renormalized Gauge Theories Using Renormalization Group Techniques
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of these lectures is to describe a construction, as selfcontained as possible, of renormalized gauge theories. Following a suggestion of Polchinski, we base our analysis on the Wilson renormalization group method. After a discussion of the infinite cut-off limit, we study the short distance properties of the Green functions verifying the validity of Wilson short distance expansion. We also consider the problem of the extension to the quantum level of the classical symmetries of the theory. With this purpose we analyze in details the breakings induced by the cut-off in a SU(2) gauge symmetry and we prove the possibility of compensating these breakings by a suitable choice of non-gauge invariant counter terms. 1 Lectures given at the Parma Theoretical Physics Seminar, September 1991 Revised Version 0

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...
متن کاملNon-Renormalization Theorems for Operators with Arbitrary Numbers of Derivatives in N = 4 Yang Mills Theory
We generalize the proof of the non-renormalization of the four derivative operators in N = 4 Yang Mills theory with gauge group SU(2) to show that certain terms with 2N derivatives are not renormalized in the theory with gauge group SU(N). These terms may be determined exactly by a simple perturbative computation. Similar results hold for finite N = 2 theories. We comment on the implications of...
متن کاملClassical and quantum aspects of the extended antifield formalism
Starting from a solution to the classical Batalin-Vilkovisky master equation, an extended solution to an extended master equation is constructed by coupling all the observables, the anomaly candidates and the generators of global symmetries. The construction of the formalism and its applications in the context of the renormalization of generic and potentially anomalous gauge theories are review...
متن کاملFixed-point action for fermions in QCD
The ultimate goal of any improvement program for QCD is to find a perfect action with no lattice artifacts: the renormalized trajectory (RT) of some renormalization group transformation (RGT), parameterized by g the gauge coupling and m the quark mass. That is too difficult a task at present, and so we attempt instead to find the one-loop perfect fixed point (FP) action (at β = ∞) and to follow...
متن کاملLarge-N expansion, conformal field theory and renormalization-group flows in three dimensions
I study a class of interacting conformal field theories and conformal windows in three dimensions, formulated using the Parisi large-N approach and a modified dimensional-regularization technique. Bosons are associated with composite operators and their propagators are dynamically generated by fermion bubbles. Renormalization-group flows between pairs of interacting fixed points satisfy a set o...
