Description
As is well known, in the context of quantum field theories describing different types of interactions in the domain of particle physics, there are rampant ultraviolet infinite which are subtly taken care of by adequate renormalization procedures. The most conventional perturbative regularization schemes are based on the Feynman expansion, so successfully used in quantum electrodynamics. But the unique feature of confinement in strong interactions has forced physicists to search for a non-perturbative cut-off, and this has been provided by the introduction of discrete spacetime lattices over which the field theories have been formulated. the lattice represents a mathematical trick, a more scaffolding, an intermediate step, used to analyze a difficult non-linear system, of an infinite number of degree of freedom. Herein lies the main virtue of the lattice, which directly eliminates all wavelengths less than twice the lattice spacing.Consequently, regarding the lattice merely as an ultraviolet cut-off, physicists should remove this regulator and expect observable quantities to approach their physical values. However as the removal of the regulator is discussed, the question of renormalization emerges, and it is here that the Migdal-Kadanoff recursion relations, representing a simple approximate method for comparing theories with different lattice spacings bring in their virtue by providing a simple method for obtaining an approximate renormalization group function. It is hoped, and currently extensively investigated whether the Migdal renormalization group approach, combined with some other methods, can really provide useful information on the phase structures of lattice gauge theories
