Beta Function
Linked via "RG transformations"
The path leading toward a fixed point is governed by the anomalous dimension ($\gamma$), which is intrinsically linked to the Beta Function through the relation:
$$\gamma(g) = - \frac{1}{2} \beta(g) \frac{\partial \ln Z}{\partial g}$$
where $Z$ is the field renormalization constant, which measures how the fields themselves morph under RG transformations.

Renormalization Group Flow
Linked via "RG transformation"
Theoretical Formalism
The RG transformation is fundamentally a change of variables that integrates out high-momentum (short-distance) degrees of freedom, yielding a lower-energy description. This iterative procedure maps an initial theory, parameterized by a set of bare couplings $\mathbf{g}_0$, onto a sequence of effective theories characterized by running couplings $\mathbf{g}(\Lambda)$, where $\Lambda$ is the momentum cutoff or observation scale.
The dynamics of this flow are governed by the [Callan-Symanzi…
