2 Renormalization Group Equations Idea: study the dependence of correlation functions on the scale k Various options: k = Λ: Wilson, Wegner-Houghton, coarse graining constant physics, cutoff/uv insensitivity k = µ: Gell-Mann-Low constant physics, fixing scale insensitivity k = m R : Callan, Symanzik (CS) compare theories with different masses Advantage of CS idea: start with massive theories = suppressed fluctuations connect with differential equation to small mass theories = regime with strong correlations
