introduction

 

 

 

concept of limit==
  • notations
    • N : number of sites
    • a : lattice spacing
    • V : volume
  • continuum limit
    • used in the lattice model
    • sending the lattice spacing a to zero, and the number N of sites to infinity, while keeping the volume V=Na constant
  • scaling limit
    • sounds similar to continuum limit
    • sending the lattice spacing a to zero, while keeping the volume V and the correlation length fixed
  • thermodynamic limit
  • infrared limit
    • sending V to infinity, while keeping the lattice spacing a constant
  • ultraviolet limit
    • ??
  •  
    The c-theorem implies that the infra-red limit, where the scale goes to innity, and the ultra-violet limit, where the scale vanishes, are fixed points of the renormalisation group. http://iopscience.iop.org/1126-6708/2000/03/008/pdf/1126-6708_2000_03_008.pdf
