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 new Functional Dimensional Regularization scheme computes Ising critical exponents directly in d=3 with apparently better convergence than standard functional RG approximations.
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.
Quantum gravity contributions to the beta functions of gauge and Yukawa couplings are derived via the Schwinger proper-time flow equation; their dependence on gauge fixing and regulators is quantified at gravity's interactive fixed point and compared with other schemes.
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.
