The case against asymptotic freedom
Abstract
Description
In this talk I give an overview of the work done during the last 15 years in collaboration with the late Adrian Patrascioiu. In this work we accumulated evidence against the commonly accepted view that theories with nonabelian symmetry -- either two dimensional nonlinear $σ$ models or four dimensional Yang-Mills theories -- have the property of asymptotic freedom (AF) usually ascribed to them.
