84. An analogue of non-interacting quantum field theory in Riemannian signature

Mikhail Molodyk (Stanford University)

Recent advances using microlocal tools have led to constructions, for wave operators on various classes of spacetimes, of four distinguished Fredholm inverses which have the singular behavior required of retarded, advanced, Feynman, and anti-Feynman propagators in QFT. Vasy and Wrochna have used these to define a QFT on asymptotically Minkowski spacetimes, for which they construct Hadamard...

85. Functional Renormalization and the Nash-Moser theorem

The Renormalization Group (RG) Equation determines the flow of the effective action under changes in an artificial energy scale, which roughly corresponds to the scale of the system under consideration. I report on a rigorous construction of a non-perturbative RG flow for the effective action in Lorentzian manifolds. I give the main ideas of a proof of local existence of solutions for the RG...
