Iwasaki and DBW2 gradient flows keep the topological charge of SU(2) gauge configurations stable at long flow times, unlike Wilson and Symanzik flows; DBW2 quantizes the charge already near t=0.5.

abstract
The gradient flow is the evolution of fields and physical quantities along a dimensionful parameter~$t$, the flow time. We give a simple argument that relates this gradient flow and the Wilsonian renormalization group (RG) flow. We then illustrate the Wilsonian RG flow on the basis of the gradient flow in two examples that possess an infrared fixed point, the 4D many-flavor gauge theory and the 3D $O(N)$ linear sigma model.

Lattice gradient flows (de-)stabilizing topological sectors
Iwasaki and DBW2 gradient flows keep the topological charge of SU(2) gauge configurations stable at long flow times, unlike Wilson and Symanzik flows; DBW2 quantizes the charge already near t=0.5.
