Renormalization Group Flow Diagrams

RG flow shows how coupling constants evolve under coarse-graining. Fixed points are attractors or repellers; their stability determines universality classes. Relevant operators grow (flow away), irrelevant ones shrink (flow toward fixed point) as the RG scale increases.
