abstract

We demonstrate the applicability and advantages of Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes in the context of the Functional Renormalization Group (FRG). We investigate the $O(N)$-model in the large $N$ limit. It is shown that the flow equation for the effective potential can be cast into a conservative form. We discuss results for the Riemann problem, as well as initial conditions leading to a first and second order phase transition. In particular, we unravel the mechanism underlying first order phase transitions, based on the formation of a shock in the derivative of the effective potential.

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A spectral renormalisation group computation extracts the anomalous dimension eta ~ 0.1 for 2+1-dimensional phi^4 theory in the scaling regime, within a truncated approximation.

  4. The $(2+1)$-dimensional Gross-Neveu-Yukawa model at finite temperature, density, and magnetic field within the Functional Renormalization Group

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In the 2+1-dimensional Gross-Neveu-Yukawa model, magnetic fields cause oscillations and first-order transitions in the chiral phase boundary at high density and shift the tricritical point upward in temperature.
