    We readdress quantum criticality of itinerant Fermi systems in dimensionality d=2 adopting the Wetterich equation as the starting point. Upon neglecting Fermi self-energy in the loop integrals of the functional RG flow, we identify a non-Fermi liquid RG fixed point and recover the features of earlier RPA-type approaches in the entire frequency range. In a subsequent step, focusing on the...

    Four-fermion interactions are important in many areas of particle physics, from effective descriptions of weak interactions and QCD to parametrisations of new physics in SMEFT or HEFT. In this talk I demonstrate that four-fermion interactions may develop strongly coupled UV fixed points in four dimensional QFTs. Contrary to weakly coupled expectations, their high energy limit may be (near-)...

    We study topological properties of a quantum mechanical system with $U(1)$-symmetry within the functional renormalisation group (fRG) approach. These properties include the vacuum energy structure and the topological susceptibility. Our approach works with a complexification of the flow equation, and specifically we embed the original symmetry into the complex plane, $U(1)\rightarrow...

    The existence of an ultraviolet (UV) fixed point in the renormalization group (RG) flow of gravity provides a non-perturbative route to renormalizing gravity, that is Asymptotically Safe Quantum Gravity. Evidence for such a UV completion has been found in a variety of settings, including higher-derivative gravity theories and gravityโ€“matter systems. However, despite its apparent robustness, it...

    The derivative expansion is a central approximation scheme within the functional renormalization group, yet its convergence is often hindered by a strong dependence on the choice of regulator.
    In this talk, we argue that this limitation originates from the incomplete realization of conformal symmetry at criticality within standard projection procedures. To address this issue, we construct a...

    One-dimensional interacting bosons subjected to disorder are known to possess an insulating ground state, called the Bose glass. At finite temperature, perturbative computations advocate for a crossover to a non-disordered normal fluid, but an alternative scenario was also suggested, arguing for the existence of a genuine phase transition. The resulting low-temperature insulating phase is then...

    In Euclidean signature, we show that under mild conditions a nonterminating Wilsonian renormalization group (RG) flow of Feynman measures has a factorization property: there exists a regularization-independent ultimate Feynman measure (UV limit), from which the flow originates via pushforward (marginal) by the regulators. In addition, we prove certain existence theorems on the UV limit...

    In this talk I will discuss how the functional renormalization group (FRG) can be employed to study strongly interacting Bose-Fermi mixtures and, in particular, to predict and characterize mechanisms of boson-induced superconductivity. I will begin by reviewing how a self-consistent FRG framework captures the quantum phase transition from a polaronic condensate to a molecular Fermi gas...

    Functional renormalization group flow equations can be constructed to be ultraviolet finite but break reflection positivity / unitarity, or vice versa. We explore how this problem can be circumvented with flow equations of second or higher order. They respect unitarity and are ultraviolet finite, but their solution leaves certain integration constants open. We discuss the physical significance...

    At strong on-site repulsion U, the fermionic Hubbard model realizes an extremely correlated electron system. In this regime, it is natural to derive the low-energy physics with the help of non-canonical operators acting on a projected Hilbert space without double occupancies. Using a strong-coupling functional renormalization group technique, we study the physics of such extreme correlations...

    Depsite being ubiquitous in the universe, plasmas still remain today a quite mysterious state of matter. Among the difficulties describing them is the fact that, even when they are dilute, the Coulomb interaction between electrons and ions is a long-range strong force.
    In this talk, we show how the fRG tools can be used to get a better understanding of the interactions between structures at...

    Detecting signals within nearly continuous spectra remains a fundamental challenge in statistical inference, particularly in high-noise regimes where standard random matrix theory approaches, such as the Baik-Ben Arous-Pรฉchรฉ (BBP) transition, frequently fail. We introduce a methodology that bridges statistical mechanics and statistical inference. By treating the empirical spectrum as an...

    The engineering of exotic ordered states in two-dimensional itinerant electron systems is a matter central to the field of quantum materials, from the viewpoints of both fundamental physics and applications. Ordinary Van Hove singularities (VHSs), logarithmic divergences in the density of states arising from quadratic saddle points in a materialโ€™s dispersion, have long been known to induce...

    The conventional picture of the renormalization-group (RG) flow is that of a smooth evolution in coupling space, which becomes approximately linear in the vicinity of fixed points. In this framework, relevant and irrelevant directions are identified through the scaling properties of perturbations around the fixed point.

    However, there are important physical situations in which the RG...
