摘要
En 中文
The c-theorem is a profound result applying to statistical mechanical theories or quantum field theories in two dimensions. Such theories may be described by a set of parameters which vary as we increase or decrease the scale on which we observe the system, until we reach a fixed point or critical point where the couplings have fixed values. The c-theorem defines a quantity (the c-function) which always increases (or is constant) with increasing scale and thereby gives a valuable insight into the flows' of the couplings between fixed points. The a-theorem is a proposed generalisation of the c-theorem to higher dimensions, especially four. In this article, we describe the c-theorem, starting in the simpler statistical mechanical context and then showing how in quantum field theory the theorem is most easily formulated in a curved spacetime. We then sketch how these concepts are applied in the more technically complex scenario of four dimensions.
