摘要
We further develop an algorithmic and diagrammatic computational framework for very general exact renormalization groups, where the embedded regularization scheme, parametrized by a general cutoff function and infinitely many higher point vertices, is left unspecified. Calculations proceed iteratively, by integrating by parts with respect to the effective cutoff, thus introducing effective propagators, and differentials of vertices that can be expanded using the flow equations; many cancellations occur on using the fact that the effective propagator is the inverse of the classical Wilsonian two-point vertex. We demonstrate the power of these methods by computing the beta function up to two loops in massless four dimensional scalar field theory, obtaining the expected universal coefficients, independent of the details of the regularization scheme.
