Chapter 4 describes a few important steps which have led from the discovery of infinities in quantum electrodynamics in the calculation of Feynman diagrams (ultraviolet divergences (UV divergences)) to the concept of renormalization and renormalization groups (RG). The constructions of quantum (or statistical) field theories (QFTs) and the deeply related RG have been some of the major theoretical achievements in physics of the last century. RG today plays an essential role in the understanding of the properties of QFT and of continuous macroscopic phase transitions. The existence of RG fixed points makes it possible to understand universality when there is no scale decoupling. In particle physics, it leads to the notion of effective field theory and the fine tuning problem in the Higgs particle sector.
