Equivalence of Wilson Actions

Abstract

We introduce the concept of equivalence among Wilson actions. Applying the concept to a real scalar theory on a euclidean space, we derive the exact renormalization group transformation of K. G. Wilson, and give a simple proof of universality of the critical exponents at any fixed point of the exact renormalization group transformation. We also show how to reduce the original formalism of Wilson to the simplified formalism by J. Polchinski.
