On the Functional Renormalization Group approach for Yang-Mills fields
arXiv:1212.2577 · doi:10.1007/JHEP06(2013)086
Abstract
We explore the gauge dependence of the effective average action within the functional renormalization group (FRG) approach. It is shown that in the framework of standard definitions of FRG for the Yang-Mills theory, the effective average action remains gauge-dependent on-shell, independent on the use of truncation scheme. Furthermore, we propose a new formulation of the FRG, based on the use of composite operators. In this case one can provide on-shell gauge-invariance for the effective average action and universality of -matrix.
