Renormalization Group Theory

Renormalization Group Theory is a theoretical framework in statistical thermodynamics that systematically describes how the effective behavior of a physical system changes across different length scales by iteratively averaging over microscopic degrees of freedom while preserving essential macroscopic properties near continuous phase transitions such as those in ordering transformations and the Curie temperature.
