abstract
We investigate the structure of Polchinski's formulation of the flow equations for the continuum Wilson effective action. Reinterpretations in terms of I.R. cutoff greens functions are given. A promising non-perturbative approximation scheme is derived by carefully taking the sharp cutoff limit and expanding in `irrelevancy' of operators. We illustrate with two simple models of four dimensional $\lambda \varphi^4$ theory: the cactus approximation, and a model incorporating the first irrelevant correction to the renormalized coupling. The qualitative and quantitative behaviour give confidence in a fuller use of this method for obtaining accurate results.

A non-trivial UV fixed point for the scalar matter form factor exists in asymptotically safe quantum gravity, with a discrete spectrum of critical exponents and infrared locality restored.
A new Functional Dimensional Regularization scheme computes Ising critical exponents directly in d=3 with apparently better convergence than standard functional RG approximations.
Spectral functions for graviton and scalar graviton modes are derived in Lorentzian asymptotically safe quantum gravity via adapted FRG flow equations, yielding normalisable results consistent with infrared effective theory.
Asymptotically safe gravitational form factors are obtained by integrating the proper-time flow to k=0; finite cutoff-independent results with 1/q² UV decay require selecting the non-Gaussian fixed point as UV boundary condition.
Auxiliary tensor fields in composite gravity models acquire dynamical kinetic terms via FRG flows, reproducing the transverse-traceless quadratic Einstein-Hilbert structure in the spin-2 sector.
In asymptotically safe gravity, dimension-five couplings of ultralight scalar dark matter to gauge field strengths vanish and are not generated perturbatively.
In asymptotically safe gravity, radiation-filled Bianchi-I cosmologies show quantum corrections that soften anisotropy, while magnetic fields lead to persistent Kasner anisotropy without Lambda but isotropic de Sitter decay with nonzero Lambda.
Renormalization group improved unimodular black holes with self-consistent radial scale identification yield non-singular metrics and associated mass gaps.
A Legendre transform establishes an exact duality between the classical Polchinski equation and the authors' classical RG equation for the gravitational effective action.
Proper-time FRG applied to gravity-coupled O(N) scalars largely reproduces scaling solutions and critical properties found with the effective average action, with some quantitative differences at finite and large N depending on improved schemes.
FRG study of QCD-like theories finds the CP-violating four-fermion operator becomes relevant in the chirally broken phase when the gauge coupling runs, while finite quark mass strongly suppresses infrared running of the theta parameter.
