Abstract
Abstract Chapter 9 focuses on the non–perturbative renormalization group. Many renormalization group (RG) results are derived within the framework of the perturbative RG. However, this RG is the asymptotic form in some neighbourhood of a Gaussian fixed point of the more general and exact RG, as introduced by Wilson and Wegner, and valid for rather general effective field theories. Chapter 9 describes the corresponding functional RG equations and give some indications about their derivation. A basic role is played by a method of partial field integration, which preserves the locality of the field theory. Note that functional RG equations can also be used to give alternative proofs of perturbative renormalizability within the framework of effective field theories.
