Construction of the Energy-Momentum Tensor for Wilson Actions

Abstract

Given an arbitrary Wilson action of a real scalar field, we discuss how to construct the energy-momentum tensor of the theory. Using the exact renormalization group, we can determine the energy-momentum tensor implicitly, but we are short of obtaining an explicit formula in terms of the Wilson action.
