Cet article retrace la genèse du GR de Kenneth Wilson de 1956 à 1965, en se penchant tout particulièrement sur sa relation avec le GR de Murray Gell-Mann et Francis Low publié en 1954. Je défends la thèse selon laquelle il n’y a, au final, que très peu de continuité méthodologique et conceptuelle entre leurs versions respectives. L’article conclut brièvement sur l’évolution du GR wilsonien de 1965 jusqu’au début des années 1970.Cairn free access |

Renormalisation Group (RG) methods are one of the theoretical masterpieces of postwar physics whose historical development still remains largely unexplored. This article traces the origins of Kenneth Wilson’s RG from 1956 to 1965, with a particular focus on its relationship to Murray Gell-Mann and Francis Low’s RG published in 1954. I argue that there is ultimately little methodological and conceptual continuity between their respective versions. The article briefly concludes with the evolution of the Wilsonian RG from 1965 to the early 1970s. |
