The idea of Wilson's renormalization group is applied to the 2-dimensional Liouville theory coupled to matter fields. The Virasoro structures including those of Liouville field are explicitly derived at the fixed point of the renormalization group flow. The Virasoro operators are transformed into another set of Virasoro operators acting in the target space and it is argued that the latter could be interpreted as those discovered recently in matrix models.

Self-consistent new renormalization group flow equations for an O(N)-symmetric scalar theory are approximated in next-to-leading order of the derivative expansion. The Wilson-Fisher fixed point in three dimensions is analyzed in detail and various critical exponents are calculated.

We study the nonperturbative renormalization group flow of higher-derivative gravity employing functional renormalization group techniques. The nonperturbative contributions to the β-functions shift the known perturbative ultraviolet fixed point into a nontrivial fixed point with three UV-attractive and one UV-repulsive eigendirections, consistent with the asymptotic safety conjecture of gravity. The implication of this transition on the unitarity problem, typically haunting higher-derivative gravity theories, is discussed.

Here, we study the evolution of a Robertson–Walker (RW) metric under the Ricci flow and 2-loop renormalization group flow (RG-2 flow). We show that a RW metric is a fixed point of the Ricci flow and it is not a solution of the RG-2 flow. RG-2 flow is considered on a doubly twisted product metric with further assumptions and also we introduce a necessary condition for existence of the solution of RG-2 flow.

Abstract By considering the renormalization group flow between N coupled Ising models in the UV and the cubic fixed point in the IR, we study the large N behavior of the cubic fixed points in three dimensions. We derive a diagrammatic expansion for the 1/N corrections to correlation functions. Leading large N corrections to conformal dimensions at the cubic fixed point are then evaluated using numeric conformal bootstrap data for the 3d Ising model.

Abstract The renormalization group flow of unimodular quantum gravity is computed by taking into account the graviton and Faddeev-Popov ghosts anomalous dimensions. In this setting, a ultraviolet attractive fixed point is found. Symmetry-breaking terms induced by the coarse-graining procedure are introduced and their impact on the flow is analyzed. A discussion on the equivalence of unimodular quantum gravity and standard full diffeomorphism invariant theories is provided beyond perturbation theory.
