Abstract

The gauge dependence of effective average action in the functional renormalization group is studied. The effective average action is considered as non-perturbative solution to the flow equation which is the basic equation of the method. It is proven that at any scale of IR cutoff the effective average action depends on gauges making impossible physical interpretation of all obtained results in this method.
