Exact Renormalization Group

This paper is a self-contained review of the loop variable approach to string theory. The Exact Renormalization Group is applied to a world sheet theory describing string propagation in a general background involving both massless and massive modes. This gives interacting equations of motion for the modes of the string. Loop variable techniques are used to obtain gauge invariant equations. Since this method is not tied to flat space–time or any particular background metric, it is manifestly background independent. The technique can be applied to both open and closed strings. Thus gauge invariant and generally covariant interacting equations of motion can be written for massive higher spin fields in arbitrary backgrounds. Some explicit examples are given.

Exact Renormalization Group

Within the framework of the Exact Renormalization Group, a manifestly gauge invariant calculus is constructed for SU (N) Yang–Mills. The methodology is comprehensively illustrated with a proof, to all orders in perturbation theory, that the β function has no explicit dependence on either the seed action or details of the covariantization of the cutoff. The cancellation of these nonuniversal contributions is done in an entirely diagrammatic fashion.

Exact Renormalization Group

The Exact Renormalization Group (ERG) approach to massive gauge theories in the axial gauge is studied and the smoothness of the massless limit is analysed for a formally gauge invariant quantity such as the Euclidean Wilson loop.
