abstract
Low-energy effective theories have been used very successfully to study the low-energy limit of QCD, providing us with results for a plethora of phenomena, ranging from bound-state formation to phase transitions in QCD. These theories are consistent quantum field theories by themselves and can be embedded in QCD, but typically have a physical ultraviolet cutoff that restricts their range of validity. Here, we provide a discussion of the concept of renormalization group consistency, aiming at an analysis of cutoff effects and regularization-scheme dependences in general studies of low-energy effective theories. For illustration, our findings are applied to low-energy effective models of QCD in different approximations including the mean-field approximation. More specifically, we consider hot and dense as well as finite systems and demonstrate that violations of renormalization group consistency affect significantly the predictive power of the corresponding model calculations.

In the random phase approximation, a convenient renormalization scheme for momentum-dependent meson self-energies shows that the moat regime extent in the QCD phase diagram depends critically on in-medium quark-meson interactions.

Dissecting the moat regime at low energies I: Renormalization and the phase structure
In the random phase approximation, a convenient renormalization scheme for momentum-dependent meson self-energies shows that the moat regime extent in the QCD phase diagram depends critically on in-medium quark-meson interactions.
