Description

I will discuss abstract weakly relevant flows in a general number of dimensions, which arguably provide the simplest example of a renormalization group (RG) flow between two non-trivial fixed points. I will compute several two-point correlation functions in position space valid along the whole RG flow. I will then focus on four dimensions and compute the change of the a- and c-trace anomalies along the flow in this theory.
