Renormalization Group Equations

Renormalization Group Equations (RGEs) describe how the coupling constants and masses of a quantum field theory evolve with energy scale. They are fundamental tools for understanding the scale dependence of physics, predicting the behavior of coupling strengths at different energies, and connecting high-energy physics to low-energy precision measurements.
