A bstractField theories with weakly coupled holographic duals, such as large N gauge theories, have a natural separation of their operators into ‘single-trace operators’ (dual to single-particle states) and ‘multi-trace operators’ (dual to multi-particle states). There are examples of large N gauge theories where the beta functions of single-trace coupling constants all vanish, but marginal multi-trace coupling constants have non-vanishing beta functions that spoil conformal invariance (even…

The exact renormalization group is used to study the RG flow of quantities in field theories. The basic idea is to write an evolution operator for the RG flow and evaluate it in perturbation theory.
