We derive the renormalization group evolution of the quartic scalar theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking from an alternative flow equation, obtained within the externally sourced two-particle irreducible framework due to Garbrecht and Millington. In order to make a straightforward comparison with the evolution from the standard Wetterich-Morris-Ellwanger equation, we employ the Litim regulator, work to lowest order in the derivative expansion and neglect anomalous scaling. By this means, we illustrate the leading differences between analytic expressions for the resulting threshold and (non-perturbative) beta functions. In four dimensions, we find that the positions of the potential minima and the cosmological constant evolve more rapidly with scale compared to the standard approach, whereas the quartic coupling evolves more slowly, albeit by a small amount. These differences may have implications for the asymptotic safety programme, as well as our understanding of the non-perturbative scale evolution of the Standard Model Higgs sector.

We consider several classes of $sigma$-models (on groups and symmetric spaces, $eta$-models, $lambda$-models) with local couplings that may depend on the 2d coordinates, e.g. on time $tau$. We observe that (i) starting with a classically integrable 2
d $sigma$-model, (ii) formally promoting its couplings $h_alpha$ to functions $h_alpha(tau)$ of 2d time, and (iii) demanding that the resulting time-dependent model also admits a Lax connection implies that $h_alpha(tau)$ must solve the 1-loop RG equations of the original theory with $tau$ interpreted as RG time. This provides a novel example of an integrability - RG flow connection. The existence of a Lax connection suggests that these time-dependent $sigma$-models may themselves be understood as integrable. We investigate this question by studying the possibility of constructing non-local and local conserved charges. Such $sigma$-models with $D$-dimensional target space and time-dependent couplings subject to the RG flow naturally appear in string theory upon fixing the light-cone gauge in a $(D+2)$-dimensional conformal $sigma$-model with a metric admitting a covariantly constant null Killing vector and a dilaton linear in the null coordinate.
We aim to optimize the functional form of the compactly supported smooth (CSS) regulator within the functional renormalization group (RG), in the framework of bosonized two-dimensional Quantum Electrodynamics (QED_2) and of the three-dimensional O(N=
1) scalar field theory in the local potential approximation (LPA). The principle of minimal sensitivity (PMS) is used for the optimization of the CSS regulator, recovering all the major types of regulators in appropriate limits. Within the investigated class of functional forms, a thorough investigation of the CSS regulator, optimized with two different normalizations within the PMS method, confirms that the functional form of a regulator first proposed by Litim is optimal within the LPA. However, Litims exact form leads to a kink in the regulator function. A form of the CSS regulator, numerically close to Litims limit while maintaining infinite differentiability, remains compatible with the gradient expansion to all orders. A smooth analytic behaviour of the regulator is ensured by a small, but finite value of the exponential fall-off parameter in the CSS regulator. Consequently, a compactly supported regulator, in a parameter regime close to Litims optimized form, but regularized with an exponential factor, appears to have favorable properties and could be used to address the scheme dependence of the functional renormalization group, at least within the the approximations employed in the studies reported here.
Fixed points of scalar field theories with quartic interactions in $d=4-varepsilon$ dimensions are considered in full generality. For such theories it is known that there exists a scalar function $A$ of the couplings through which the leading-order b
eta-function can be expressed as a gradient. It is here proved that the fixed-point value of $A$ is bounded from below by a simple expression linear in the dimension of the vector order parameter, $N$. Saturation of the bound requires a marginal deformation, and is shown to arise when fixed points with the same global symmetry coincide in coupling space. Several general results about scalar CFTs are discussed, and a review of known fixed points is given.
In the ferromagnetic phase of the q-state Potts model, switching on an external magnetic field induces confinement of the domain wall excitations. For the Ising model (q = 2) the spectrum consists of kink-antikink states which are the analogues of me
sonic states in QCD, while for q = 3, depending on the sign of the field, the spectrum may also contain three-kink bound states which are the analogues of the baryons. In recent years the resulting hadron spectrum was described using several different approaches, such as quantum mechanics in the confining linear potential, WKB methods and also the Bethe-Salpeter equation. Here we compare the available predictions to numerical results from renormalization group improved truncated conformal space approach (RG-TCSA). While mesonic states in the Ising model have already been considered in a different truncated Hamiltonian approach, this is the first time that a precision numerical study is performed for the 3-state Potts model. We find that the semiclassical approach provides a very accurate description for the mesonic spectrum in all the parameter regime for weak magnetic field, while the low-energy expansion from the Bethe-Salpeter equation is only valid for very weak fields where it gives a slight improvement over the semiclassical results. In addition, we confirm the validity of the recent predictions for the baryon spectrum obtained from solving the quantum mechanical three-body problem.
We construct the holographic renormalization group (RG) flow of thermo-electric conductivities when the translational symmetry is broken. The RG flow is probed by the intrinsic observers hovering on the sliding radial membranes. We obtain the RG flow
by solving a matrix-form Riccati equation. The RG flow provides a high-efficient numerical method to calculate the thermo-electric conductivities of strongly coupled systems with momentum dissipation. As an illustration, we recover the AC thermo-electric conductivities in the Einstein-Maxwell-axion model. Moreover, in several homogeneous and isotropic holographic models which dissipate the momentum and have the finite density, it is found that the RG flow of a particular combination of DC thermo-electric conductivities does not run. As a result, the DC thermal conductivity on the boundary field theory can be derived analytically, without using the conserved thermal current.
