Abstract

A gradient formula for the boundary β function, was proved. The formula eliminates the possibility of esoteric asymptotic behavior under renormalization. The gradient formula was expressed as the gradient of the boundary entropy s at fixed nonzero temperature. The basic principles of quantum mechanics and locality were used, and the formula implied equally that the boundary entropy decreased with temperature.
