| dc.description | The Wilsonian renormalization group (RG) method is applied to finite temperature systems for the study of non-perturbative methods in the field theory. We choose the O(N) linear sigma model as the first step. Under the local potential approximation, we solve the Wilsonian RG equation as a non-linear partial differential equation numerically. The evolution of the domain is taken into account using the naive cut and extrapolation procedure. Our procedure is shown to yield the correct solution obtained by the auxiliary field method in the large $N$ limit. To introduce thermal effects, we consider two schemes. One in which the sum of the Matsubara frequencies are taken before the scale is introduced is found to give more physical results. We observe a second order phase transition in both the schemes. The critical exponents are calculated and are shown to agree with the results from lattice calculations. | |
