1 The Renormalisation Group and some Applications

1.1 The lectures of David Brydges

at the 2013 School on Mathematical Statistical Physics

http://www.math.ucla.edu/~biskup/Prague-school-2013/index.html

1.2 Abstract:

My goal is to explain the renormalisation group as a rigorous program to understand scaling limits. I will centre the lectures on recent work with Gordon Slade and Roland Bauerschmidt on log corrections in the susceptibility for the four dimensional Edwards model.

1.3 Topics

1.3.1 The Edwards model for self-avoiding walk on a d-dimensional lattice

1.3.2 log corrections in the susceptibility in four dimensions

1.3.3 The massless Gaussian measure and local time isomorphisms

1.3.4 Finite range decompositions of Gaussian fields and progressive integration

1.3.5 First order perturbation theory and flow of interaction

1.3.6 Exact representation as a flow

1.3.7 Second order perturbation theory and origin of log corrections
