Abstract

The renormalization group approach is studied for large N models. The approach of Brezin and Zinn-Justin is explained and examined for matrix models. The validity of the approach is clarified by using the vector model as. a similar and simpler example. An exact difference equation is obtained which relates free energies for neighboring values of N. The reparametrization freedom in field space provides infinitely many identities which reduce the infinite dimensional coupling constant space to that of finite dimensions. The effective beta functions give exact values for the fixed points and the susceptibility exponents. A detailed study of the effective renormalization group .flow is presented for cases with up to two coupling constants.
