Description

The manifestly gauge invariant exact renormalization group provides a framework for performing continuum computations in SU(N) Yang-Mills theory, without fixing the gauge. We use this formalism to compute the two-loop β function in a manifestly gauge invariant way, and without specifying the details of the regularization scheme
