Introduce the renormalization-group beta functions and field anomalous dimension
Independence of physics from the arbitrary sliding scale gives the functional Callan-Symanzik equation
up to the equivalent sign convention obtained by defining with a minus sign. For an operator of dimension containing fields, differentiating its coefficient shows the canonical and wave-function pieces
where contains mixing among local field operators and genuine corrections at higher loop order. Thus , , and canonically produce relevant operators, marginal operators, and irrelevant operators, respectively, before anomalous corrections.
