Renormalization group bounds on Araki relative entropy

Abstract

This paper derives a multiscale Bakry-Émery criterion for an upper bound on the Araki relative entropy of perturbations of an equilibrium state in relativistic QFT. Using stochastic positivity, affiliated perturbations of the relativistic bosonic field can be put in correspondence with perturbations of the massive Euclidean free field. This gives a Feynman-Kac formula, which in turns is used to derive a probabilistic expression for the Araki relative entropy. The description of the massive Euclidean free field as an abstract Wiener space provides the infinite-dimensional framework to derive a Polchinski equation. Extending the methods of Bauerschmidt, Bodineau, and Dagallier to this context yields a probabilistic bound on the Araki relative entropy, which can be formulated entirely in operator-algebraic terms. Using the criterion, it is shown that the Lorentzian massive Sine-Gordon model in the ultraviolet finite regime satisfies the relative entropy bound.
