Abstract: (APS)
Following previous work by one of the authors [M. V. Altaisky, Unifying renormalization group and the continuous wavelet transform, Phys. Rev. D 93, 105043 (2016).], we develop a new approach to the renormalization group, where the effective action functional is a sum of all fluctuations of scales from the size of the system down to the scale of observation . It is shown that the renormalization flow equation of the type is a limiting case of such consideration, when the running coupling constant is assumed to be a differentiable function of scale. In this approximation, the running coupling constant, calculated at one-loop level, suffers from the Landau pole. In general, when the scale-dependent coupling constant is a nondifferentiable function of scale, the Feynman loop expansion results in a difference equation. This keeps the coupling constant finite for any finite value of scale . As an example, we consider Euclidean field theory.Note:
