Renormalization of the Three-Body System with Short-Range Interactions
read the original abstract
We discuss renormalization of the non-relativistic three-body problem with short-range forces. The problem becomes non-perturbative at momenta of the order of the inverse of the two-body scattering length, and an infinite number of graphs must be summed. This summation leads to a cutoff dependence that does not appear in any order in perturbation theory. We argue that this cutoff dependence can be absorbed in a single three-body counterterm and compute the running of the three-body force with the cutoff. We comment on relevance of this result for the effective field theory program in nuclear and molecular physics.

Non-perturbative renormalization group for pseudo-hermitian scalar fields in 4D
The pseudo-hermitian scalar model exhibits a line of non-unitary 4D fixed points, massless flows between them, and cyclic RG flows, supported by three-loop beta functions and an all-order conjecture.

A rich structure of renormalization group flows for Higgs-like models in 4 dimensions
A two-Higgs-doublet model with SU(2)-based marginal operators produces unavoidable cyclic RG flows, pseudo-unitary behavior below pair-production threshold, and Russian Doll VEVs whose period is fixed by the Koide for...
