The Renormalization Group: Dynamics of Scale
Abstract: The renormalization group (RG) provides a systematic way to understand how models behave under changes of scale. Originally developed in statistical mechanics and quantum field theory, the RG has since found applications in probability, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations. Its central idea is to view coarse-graining and rescaling as a transformation acting on a space of models. The long-term behavior of this transformation is governed by fixed points and their stability, which shed light on phenomena such as universality and scaling laws. In this talk, I will introduce the renormalization group from a mathematical perspective and illustrate how changes of scale help explain the emergence of large-scale structures.
