RG Flows and Bounds from Chaos

This lecture by the instructor from Johns Hopkins University on RG flows and bounds from chaos covers the main idea of renormalization group (RG) and quantum chaos, explaining the relevance of different degrees of freedom at various energies and the behavior of interacting physical systems. It delves into the concept of semiclassical chaos, chaos bounds, and the relationship between RG flows and chaos. The lecture also discusses the proof of the a-theorem, the dilaton effective action, and the constraints on coupling constants in the context of Nambu-Goldstone bosons. The presentation concludes with insights on the connection between chaos and the RG bootstrap.
