The nonperturbative functional renormalization group and its applications

N Dupuis, L Canet, A Eichhorn, W Metzner… - Physics Reports, 2021‏ - Elsevier
The renormalization group plays an essential role in many areas of physics, both
conceptually and as a practical tool to determine the long-distance low-energy properties of …

QCD running couplings and effective charges

A Deur, SJ Brodsky, CD Roberts - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2024‏ - Elsevier
We discuss our present knowledge of α s, the fundamental running coupling or effective
charge of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). A precise understanding of the running of α s …

QCD phase structure at finite temperature and density

W Fu, JM Pawlowski, F Rennecke - Physical Review D, 2020‏ - APS
We discuss the phase structure of QCD for N f= 2 and N f= 2+ 1 dynamical quark flavors at
finite temperature and baryon chemical potential. It emerges dynamically from the …

Critical reflections on asymptotically safe gravity

A Bonanno, A Eichhorn, H Gies, JM Pawlowski… - Frontiers in …, 2020‏ - frontiersin.org
Asymptotic safety is a theoretical proposal for the ultraviolet completion of quantum field
theories, in particular for quantum gravity. Significant progress on this program has led to a …

Diquark correlations in hadron physics: Origin, impact and evidence

MY Barabanov, MA Bedolla, WK Brooks… - Progress in Particle and …, 2021‏ - Elsevier
The last decade has seen a marked shift in how the internal structure of hadrons is
understood. Modern experimental facilities, new theoretical techniques for the continuum …

Gauge sector dynamics in QCD

MN Ferreira, J Papavassiliou - Particles, 2023‏ - mdpi.com
The dynamics of the QCD gauge sector give rise to non-perturbative phenomena that are
crucial for the internal consistency of the theory; most notably, they account for the …

QCD phase structure from functional methods

F Gao, JM Pawlowski - Physical Review D, 2020‏ - APS
We discuss the QCD phase structure at finite temperature and chemical potential for 2-flavor
and 2+ 1-flavor QCD. The results are achieved by computing QCD correlation functions …

QCD at finite temperature and density within the fRG approach: an overview

W Fu - Communications in Theoretical Physics, 2022‏ - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper, we present an overview on recent progress in studies of QCD at finite
temperature and densities within the functional renormalization group (fRG) approach. The …

Kaon and pion parton distributions

Beginning with results for the leading-twist two-particle distribution amplitudes of π π-and K-
mesons, each of which exhibits dilation driven by the mechanism responsible for the …

[HTML][HTML] Chiral phase structure and critical end point in QCD

F Gao, JM Pawlowski - Physics Letters B, 2021‏ - Elsevier
We map out the QCD phase structure at finite temperature and chemical potential for 2-
flavour and 2+ 1-flavour QCD. This is done within a generalised functional approach to QCD …
