We present an analytical method, rooted in the nonperturbative renormalization group, that allows one to calculate the critical exponents and the correlation and response functions of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) growth equation in all its different regimes, including the strong-coupling one. We analyze the symmetries of the KPZ problem and derive an approximation scheme that satisfies the linearly realized ones. We implement this scheme at the minimal order in the response field, and show that it yields a complete, qualitatively correct phase diagram in all dimensions, with reasonable values for the critical exponents in physical dimensions. We also compute in one dimension the full (momentum and frequency dependent) correlation function, and the associated universal scaling function. We find a very satisfactory quantitative agreement with the exact result from Prähofer and Spohn [J. Stat. Phys. 115, 255 (2004)]. In particular, we obtain for the universal amplitude ratio g_{0}≃1.149(18), to be compared with the exact value g_{0}=1.1504... (the Baik and Rain [J. Stat. Phys. 100, 523 (2000)] constant). We emphasize that all these results, which can be systematically improved, are obtained with sole input the bare action and its symmetries, without further assumptions on the existence of scaling or on the form of the scaling function.

Renormalization-Group Evolution for the Three-Particle B-Meson Soft Function.

We determine for the first time the renormalization-group equation for the three-particle B-meson soft function dictating the nonperturbative strong interaction dynamics of the long-distance penguin contributions to the double radiative B-meson decays. The distinctive feature of the ultraviolet renormalization of this fundamental soft function consists in the pattern of mixing positive into negative support for an arbitrary initial condition. The exact solution to this integrodifferential evolution equation is then derived with the Laplace transform technique, allowing for the model-independent extraction of the asymptotic behavior at large and small partonic momenta.

We propose a theory for how the weak phonon-mediated interaction (J_{A}=1-4 meV) wins over the prohibitive Coulomb repulsion (U=30-60 meV) and leads to a superconductor in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG). We find the pairing mechanism akin to that in the A_{3}C_{60} family of molecular superconductors: Each AA stacking region of MATBG resembles a C_{60} molecule, in that optical phonons can dynamically lift the degeneracy of the moiré orbitals, in analogy to the dynamical Jahn-Teller effect. Such induced J_{A} has the form of an intervalley anti-Hund's coupling and is less suppressed than U by the Kondo screening near a Mott insulator.

The Vicsek simulation model of flocking together with its theoretical treatment by Toner and Tu in 1995 were two foundational cornerstones of active matter physics. However, despite the field's tremendous progress, the actual universality class (UC) governing the scaling behavior of Viscek's "flocking" phase remains elusive. Here, we use nonperturbative, functional renormalization group methods to analyze, numerically and analytically, a simplified version of the Toner-Tu model, and uncover a novel UC with scaling exponents that agree remarkably well with the values obtained in a recent simulation study by Mahault et al.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a powerful experimental technique for probing the electronic structure of molecules and materials; however, interpreting XPS data requires accurate computational methods to model core-ionized states. This work proposes and benchmarks a new approach based on the generalized active space-driven similarity renormalization group (GAS-DSRG) for calculating core-ionization energies and treating correlation effects at the perturbative and nonperturbative levels. We tested the GAS-DSRG across three data sets.

Helical liquids, formed by time-reversal pairs of interacting electrons in topological edge channels, provide a platform for stabilizing topological superconductivity upon introducing local and nonlocal pairings through the proximity effect. Here, we investigate the effects of electron-electron interactions and phonons on the topological superconductivity in two parallel channels of such helical liquids. Interactions between electrons in different channels tend to reduce nonlocal pairing, suppressing the topological regime.
