Principles of non-local field theories and their application to polymerized membranes
Abstract
Description
In these lecture notes, we give an overview about non-local field-theories and their application to polymerized membranes, i.e. membranes with a fixed internal connectivity. The main technical tool is the multi-local operator product expansion (MOPE), generalizing ideas from local field theories to the multi-local situation.
