Introduction to effective field theory
The basic idea behind effective field theory (EFT) methods is to describe nature in terms of a fully consistent quantum field theory, but one which is valid in a limited energy range. Now strictly speaking this means that almost any theory is an EFT except string theories that try to be a theory of everything (TOE). Indeed even the quintessential quantum field theory—quantum electrodynamics—is ...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Few Nucleon Systems in Effective Field Theory
Progress in the Effective Field Theory of two and three nucleon systems is sketched, concentrating mainly on the low energy version in which pions are integrated out as explicit degrees of freedom. Examples given are: the extraction of nucleon polarisabilities from deuteron Compton scattering at very low energies; the energy dependence of the nucleon polarisabilities; three body forces and the ...
متن کاملIntroduction to the Effective Field Theory Description of Gravity
This is a pedagogical introduction to the treatment of general relativity as a quantum effective field theory. Gravity fits nicely into the effective field theory description and forms a good quantum theory at ordinary energies. Lectures presented at the Advanced School on Effective Theories, Almunecar, Spain June 1995 (to be published in the proceedings). UMHEP424, gr-qc/9512024
متن کاملIntroduction to Noncommutative Field Theory
But what is it exactly? Let us motivate the problem in a mathematical way: consider the Gel’fand-Naimark duality theorem, a mathematical theorem which establishes a one-to-one correspondence between topological (Hausdorff) spaces X and commutative C∗-algebras A=C(X), where A is the algebra of continuous complex-valued functions f : X → C with the pointwise multiplication (f.g)(x) = f(x).g(x). G...
متن کاملIntroduction to spherical field theory
Spherical field theory is a new non-perturbative method for studying quantum field theories. It uses the spherical partial wave expansion to reduce a general d-dimensional Euclidean field theory into a set of coupled onedimensional systems. The coupled one-dimensional systems are then converted to partial differential equations and solved numerically. We demonstrate the methods of spherical fie...
