An elementary introduction to the non-perturbative renormalization group is presented mainly in the context of statistical mechanics. No prior knowledge of field theory is necessary. The aim is this article is not to give an extensive overview of the subject but rather to insist on conceptual aspects and to explain in detail the main technical steps. It should be taken as an introduction to more advanced readings.

  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. Coarse graining from within: Wilson-Fisher universality on $S^3$

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A spectral cutoff RG flow on S^3 realizes the Wilson-Fisher universality class with one relevant direction and critical exponents close to flat-space values.

  3. Renormalization group flows in area-metric gravity

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The first renormalization group analysis of area-metric gravity shows shape-mismatching masses grow toward the infrared, parity is not emergent, and the Immirzi parameter flow has fixed points at γ=0 and γ=∞.

  4. FunKit: A computer algebra toolkit for functional approaches

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    FunKit is a computer algebra toolkit that automates derivation of functional equations such as Dyson-Schwinger and functional RG from arbitrary master equations, with tracing via FORM and export to numerical code.

  5. 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...

  6. Scaling solutions for gauge invariant flow equations in dilaton quantum gravity

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Scaling solutions of a gauge-invariant functional flow equation support the dilaton quantum gravity fixed point, with Planck mass ~ φ² at large field and a stable negative kinetial in the infrared.

  7. Unified Functional-Holographic Theory of the QCD Critical End Point

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A coupled DSE-FRG-holographic model predicts the QCD critical end point at T_CEP approximately 130-135 MeV and mu_B,CEP approximately 600 MeV, with sensitivity to regulator and normalization choices.

  8. $CP$ phase structure of QCD from functional renormalization group

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    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 t...

  9. Reinterpreting Memory Effects in Nonequilibrium Systems: From Temporal Dynamics to Steady-State Signatures via NEGF

    cond-mat.mes-hall 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Memory effects from different scattering mechanisms in 2D systems appear as distinct features in the NEGF spectral function, proposed as a steady-state diagnostic for non-Markovian behavior.
