Abstract

The α-function is a proposed quantity defined for quantum field theories which has a monotonic behaviour along renormalisation group flows, being related to the β-functions via a gradient flow equation involving a positive definite metric. We demonstrate the existence of a candidate α-function for renormalisable Chern-Simons theories in three dimensions, involving scalar and fermion fields, in both non-supersymmetric and supersymmetric cases.
