Abstract
A novel exact dynamical real-space renormalization group for a Langevin equation derivable from a Euclidean Gaussian action is presented. It is demonstrated rigorously that an algebraic temporal law holds for the Green function on arbitrary structures of infinite extent. In the case of fractals it is shown on specific examples that two different fixed points are found, at variance with periodic structures. Connection with the growth dynamics of interfaces is also discussed.
