A non-perturbative and continuous definition of RG transformations as stochastic processes is proposed, inspired by the observation that the functional RG equations for effective Boltzmann factors may be interpreted as Fokker-Planck equations. The result implies a new approach to Monte Carlo RG that is amenable to lattice simulation. Long-distance correlations of the effective theory are shown to approach gradient-flowed correlations, which are simpler to measure. The Markov property of the stochastic RG transformation implies an RG scaling formula which allows for the measurement of anomalous dimensions when transcribed into gradient flow expectation values.

  1. Stochastic Quantization as Optimal Control

    hep-lat 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Stochastic quantization is re-expressed as finite-time optimal control, in which a learned Doob force plus exact path weights reach the Gibbs measure without waiting for equilibrium.
