The Symanzik action, together with the usual construction of a partially quenched chiral effective theory from a local, partially quenched, fundamental theory, can then be used to derive the chiral effective theory. The latter reproduces rooted staggered chiral perturbation theory.7 pages, contribution to Lattice 2007 proceedingsHigh Energy Physics - Latticetext
