On Functional Hamilton-Jacobi and Schrödinger Equations and Functional Renormalization Group

Abstract

Functional Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equation, the central equation of the holographic renormalization group (HRG), functional Schrödinger equation, and generalized Wilson-Polchinski (WP) equation, the central equation of the functional renormalization group (FRG), are considered in $D$-dimensional coordinate and abstract (formal) spaces. Instead of extra coordinates or an FRG scale, a holographic scalar field $\Lambda$ is introduced. The extra coordinate (or scale) is obtained as the amplitude of delta-field or constant field configurations of $\Lambda$. A rigorous derivation of corresponding integro-differential equation hierarchies for Green functions (GFs) as well as the integration formula for functionals are given. Using the integration formula, the functional (arbitrary configuration of $\Lambda$) solution for the translation-invariant two-particle GF is obtained. For the delta-field and the constant field configurations of $\Lambda$ this solution is studied in detail. Separable solution for two-particle GF is briefly discussed. Then, rigorous derivation of the quantum HJ and the continuity functional equations from the functional Schrödinger equation as well as the semiclassical approximation are given. An iterative procedure for solving the functional Schrödinger equation is suggested. Translation-invariant solutions for various GFs (both hierarchies) on delta-field configuration of $\Lambda$ are obtained. In context of continuity equation and open quantum field systems an optical potential is briefly discussed. Modes coarse graining growth functional for WP functional is analyzed. An approximation scheme is proposed for the generalized WP equation. With an optimized regulator translation-invariant solutions for two-particle and four-particle amputated GFs from approximated WP hierarchy are found analytically.
