Weakly correlated electrons on a square lattice are studied by angle-resolved functional renormalization group. Upon renormalization the interaction starts to depend on monienta and has pole-like solutions near the doping-dependent critical scale. Near half-filling this critical scale is the pseudogap temperature T*. In the overdoped regime the critical scale is the mean-field like critical temperature for d-wave superconductivity.

The phase transitions described by coupled spin -1/2 Ising models are investigated with the help of the mean field and the renormalization group theories. Results for the type of possible phase transitions and their fluctuation properties are presented. A fluctuation-induced second-order phase transition is predicted.

In Chapter 14, the singular behavior of ferromagnetic systems with O(N) symmetry and short-range interactions, near a second order phase transition has been determined in the mean-field approximation, which is also a quasi-Gaussian approximation. The mean-field approximation predicts a set of universal properties, properties independent of the detailed structure of the microscopic Hamiltonian, the dimension of space, and, to a large extent, of the symmetry of systems. However, the leading corrections to the mean-field approximation, in dimensions smaller than or equal to four, diverge at the critical temperature, and the universal predictions of the mean-field approximation cannot be correct. Such a problem originates from the non-decoupling of scales and leads to the question of possible universality. In Chapter 9, the question has been answered in four dimensions using renormalization theory, and related renormalization group (RG) equations. Moreover, below four dimensions, in an expansion around the mean-field, the most singular terms near criticality can be also formally recovered from a continuum, low-mass φ4 field theory. More generally, following Wilson, to understand universality beyond the mean-field approximation, it is necessary to build a general renormalization group in the form of flow equations for effective Hamiltonians and to find fixed points of the flow equations. Near four dimensions, the flow equations can be approximated by the renormalization group of quantum field theory (QFT), and the fixed points and critical behaviours derived within the framework of the Wilson-Fisher ϵ expansion.

The mean field renormalization group is extended in order to study spin-S Ising models (S≥1) by introducing additional parameters in the Hamiltonians of the clusters, in the same spirit as the mean field approach. These new parameters are then consistently obtained according to finite size scaling ideas and quite good results are obtained, even for the smallest choice of the clusters. Moreover, the mean value of the square of the spin along the second-order transition line can also be obtained from the present formalism.
