We divide all fields into two groups,
high frequency modes and low frequency modes.
The high frequency mode is integrated out.

There are some Wilsonian renormalization group equations.
• Wegner-Houghton equation (sharp cutoff)
• Polchinski equation (smooth cutoff)
• Exact evolution equation ( for 1PI effective action)

Wegner-Houghton eq
In this equation, all internal lines are the shell modes which have nonzero values in small regions.
More than two loop diagrams vanish in the limit.
This is exact equation. We can consider (perturbatively) nonrenormalizable theories.

The scalar field has zero canonical dimension.
In perturbative analysis, the 1-loop function is proportional to the Ricci tensor of target spaces. The perturbative results

Here we introduce a parameter which corresponds to the anomalous dimension of the scalar fields as follows:
When N=1, the target manifold takes the form of a semi-infinite cigar with radius .
It is embedded in 3-dimensional flat Euclidean spaces.

When the target space is an Einstein-Kaehler manifold, the βfunction of the coupling constant is obtained.

If the constant h is positive, there are two fixed points:
