Practicalities of renormalizing quantum field theories
Speaker:
John Gracey, University of Liverpool
Date and Time:
Thursday, October 20, 2005 - 11:00am to 12:10pm
Location:
Fields Institute, Room 230
Abstract:
The talk will review basic ideas of the renormalization of a quantum field theory before discussing practical methods of extracting the renormalization group functions to several orders in perturbation theory. Recent results concerning the renormalization of quantum chromodynamics in various gauges and other field theories are used to illustrate the technical issues.
