Nonperturbative Quantum Field Theory on the Lattice
Abstract
Description
These lectures provide an introduction to lattice methods for nonperturbative studies of quantum field theories, with an emphasis on Quantum Chromodynamics.
Lecture 1 (Ch. 2): gauge field basics
Lecture 2 (Ch. 3): Abelian duality with a lattice regulator (Ch. 4): simple lattice intuition
Lecture 3 (Ch. 5): standard methods (and results) for hadron spectroscopy
Lecture 4 (Ch. 6): bare actions and physics
Lecture 5 (Ch. 7): two case studies, mass of the glueball and $α_s(M_Z)$
