Monte Carlo Renormalization Group for SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory

Abstract
We present the first results for the nonperturbative β function along the Wilson axis for the SU(3) pure gauge theory using the Monte Carlo renormalization-group method. The results show that there is no asymptotic scaling for the coupling in the fundamental representation KF<6.1. The renormalized action generated by the 3 block transformation is also estimated for use in future calculations.
