Renormalization group | Scaling symmetries

Beta function (physics)

In theoretical physics, specifically quantum field theory, a beta function, β(g), encodes the dependence of a coupling parameter, g, on the energy scale, μ, of a given physical process described by quantum field theory.It is defined as and, because of the underlying renormalization group, it has no explicit dependence on μ, so it only depends on μ implicitly through g.This dependence on the energy scale thus specified is known as the running of the coupling parameter, a fundamental feature of scale-dependence in quantum field theory, and its explicit computation is achievable through a variety of mathematical techniques.

The problem with `functions' | Arithmetic and Geometry Math Foundations 42a

[First of two parts] Here we address a core logical problem with modern mathematics--the usual definition of a `function' does not contain precise enough bounds on the nature of the rules or procedures (or computer programs) allowed. Here we discuss the difficulty in the context of funct

What is a function?

This video explains what a mathematical function is and how it defines a relationship between two sets, the domain and the range. It also introduces three important categories of function: injective, surjective and bijective.

Reconsidering `functions' in modern mathematics | Arithmetic and Geometry Math Foundations 43

The general notion of `function' does not work in mathematics, just as the general notions of `number' or `sequence' don't work. This video explains the distinction between `closed' and `open' systems, and suggests that mathematical definitions should respect the open aspect of mathemat

When is a function bounded below?

👉 Learn about the characteristics of a function. Given a function, we can determine the characteristics of the function's graph. We can determine the end behavior of the graph of the function (rises or falls left and rises or falls right). We can determine the number of zeros of the functi

We prove that the scaling limits of spin fluctuations in four-dimensional Ising-type models with nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic interaction at or near the critical point are Gaussian. A similar statement is proven for the λφ4 fields over R^4 with a lattice ultraviolet cutoff, in the limit
