New Proposal for Renormalisation Group Equations on Curved Spacetimes

Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) via YouTube

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!
Explore a groundbreaking lecture on renormalisation group equations for curved spacetimes. Delve into recent research findings from a collaboration with Edoardo d'Angelo, Nicolo Drago, and Nicola Pinamonti. Examine the formulation of a flow equation similar to the Wetterich equation, applicable to arbitrary globally hyperbolic spacetimes and field theories with normally hyperbolic equations of motion. Discover the advantage of this equation's formulation in an arbitrary Hadamard state, overcoming the obstacle of non-existent unique vacuums. Journey through key concepts including local functions, variation, Green functions, positive conditions, interacting fields, global time functions, and the Functional Renormalization Group (FRG). Gain insights into the cutting-edge developments in perturbative algebraic quantum field theory and its applications in curved spacetime scenarios.
