Non-perturbative renormalization in lattice field theory

Creators

Description

A review the strategies which have been developed in recent years to solve the non-perturbative renormalization problem in lattice field theories. Although the techniques are general, the focus will be on applications to lattice QCD. I discuss the momentum subtraction and finite volume schemes, and their application to scale dependent renormalizations. The problem of finite renormalizations is illustrated with the example of explicit chiral symmetry breaking, and I give a short status report concerning Symanzik's improvement programme to O(a)
