Is renormalization associated with a volume scale or with an energy-momentum and length scale?
Given that real-space renormalization blocks together small volume elements to construct larger volume elements, is it more appropriate/helpful to consider the renormalization scale to be a volume ...

Characteristic time scale in floquet system?
In Floquet formalism, we have quasi-energy spectrum instead of energy spectrum. However, if we have a driving force with a low frequency, we shall be able to use adiabatic approximation and regard the ...

Present value of the cosmological scale factor, important or arbitrary?
I'm now confused about a subject that I thought was very clear to me, until recently. So I need to sort this clearly once and for all. Consider the standard FLRW cosmology in classical general ...

Continuum assumption: validity & motivation
I still can't grasp why the so-called continuum assumption can be taken as reasonable under the proper conditions.
Let's consider the space-time microscopic distribution of a generic tensor field. If ...

How scale invariance is broken in nature?
By definition a system will exhibit scale invariance at low energies if it has an IR fixed point.
I am having some doubts on how to interpret this fact in terms of quantum field theory and to ...

Cosmological densities when universe was/will be a different size
Supposing a spatially flat, matter-dominated universe, the expression for the Hubble parameter is:
$$ H^{2}=H_{0}^{2}\left(\frac{\Omega_{m}}{a^{3}}+\Omega_{\Lambda}\right) $$
The previous equation ...

Balanced forces in scales
We have scales-like mechanism with a spring. Rigidity of the spring $C=10\ \mathrm{kg/cm}$, initial length $L_0=60\ \mathrm{mm}$ and diameter $d=\ \mathrm{10mm}$.
Without any weight the scales are in ...
