RIKEN iTHEMS Workshop 2023

Overview

Purpose

　Functional renormalization group (FRG) is a powerful theoretical tool to investigate physical systems described by field theory. Its application covers diverse areas of physics spanning from condensed matter and statistical physics to particle physics and gravity. The purpose of this two-day workshop is to overview the recent applications and progresses of FRG in various fields of physics, to discuss future directions, and to seek for possible new collaborations bridging different fields of physics.

(This is an iTHEMS international workshop supported by RIKEN iTHEMS.)
