We provide analytical arguments showing that the non-perturbative approximation scheme to Wilson's renormalisation group known as the derivative expansion has a finite radius of convergence. We also provide guidelines for choosing the regulator function at the heart of the procedure and propose empirical rules for selecting an optimal one, without prior knowledge of the problem at stake. Using the Ising model in three dimensions as a testing ground and the derivative expansion at order six, we find fast convergence of critical exponents to their exact values, irrespective of the well-behaved regulator used, in full agreement with our general arguments. We hope these findings will put an end to disputes regarding this type of non-perturbative methods.

  1. Asymptotic behaviour of the derivative expansion in the ERG

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The derivative expansion of the exact renormalization group is divergent for generic operators in any dimension, but behaves as an asymptotic series that converges to high order in common applications.

  2. Solving Functional Renormalization Group Equations with Neural Networks

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A neural network that learns fRG flows from the equation residual, with a large-N analytic baseline, matches finite-difference and discontinuous-Galerkin solvers for O(N) models.

  3. Critical and multicritical Lee-Yang fixed points in the local potential approximation

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the local potential approximation, the Lee-Yang fixed point of iφ^3 theory is followed to d=2 with few-percent-accurate scaling dimensions, while multicritical iφ^{2n+1} fixed points annihilate with new non-perturb...

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The existence of an asymptotically safe UV completion for the Abelian gauge coupling is shown to survive simultaneous variations of the regulator and gauge parameters in certain minimal-sensitivity regions.

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A spectral renormalisation group computation extracts the anomalous dimension eta ~ 0.1 for 2+1-dimensional phi^4 theory in the scaling regime, within a truncated approximation.
