\title{Main result}
\vfil
\begin{framed}
If $|U|$ and $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_3$ are small enough, then the specific ground state energy
$$
e_0:=-\lim_{\beta\to\infty}\lim_{|\Lambda|\to\infty}\frac1{\beta|\Lambda|}\log(\mathrm{Tr}(e^{-\beta H}))
$$
and the two-point correlation functions are {\it analytic} functions of $U$.
\end{framed}
\begin{itemize}
\item In other words, if $|U|$ is small enough, then the qualitative behavior of the system is similar to that at $U=0$ ({\it weak coupling}).

\item For anti-ferromagnetic interactions, the effective Hamiltonians go to a {\it non-trivial fixed point}.

\title{Current results}
\begin{itemize}
\item Hierarchical Kondo model: idealization of the Kondo model that shares its scaling properties.
\item It is {\it exactly solvable}: the map relating the effective theories at different scales is {\it explicit} (no perturbative expansions).
\item For $\lambda_0<0$, the flow tends to a non-trivial fixed point, and $\chi^{(\lambda_0)}<\infty$ in the $\beta\to\infty$ limit (Kondo effect).

\title{Hierarchical model}

\item Imaginary time: $\psi_\alpha^\pm(t):=e^{t H_0}a_\alpha^\pm(0)e^{-t H_0}$.
\item Scale decomposition
$$
\psi_\alpha^\pm(t):=\sum_{m\leqslant0}\psi_\alpha^{[m]\pm}(t)

\title{Conclusion and perspectives}
\begin{itemize}
\item Two examples: {\color{blue}bilayer graphene} and the {\color{blue}hierarchical Kondo model}, which can be studied via {\it constructive}, {\it rigorous} implementations of the renormalization group technique.
\item Bilayer graphene: weak coupling.
\item Hierarchical Kondo model: strong coupling (non-trivial fixed point).
\item Extensions: full Kondo model, BCS theory, high-$T_c$ superconductivity...
