One-loop renormalization of the gauge coupling

Quoting Yuji Tachikawa, chapter 3 of "${\cal N}=2$ Supersymmetric Dynamics for Pedestrians": Recall the one-loop renormalization of the gauge coupling in a general Lagrangian field theory $$...

What makes the (non-abelian) strong interaction so special that it leads to confinement?

The strong interaction has a coupling constant of $\alpha_s(91GeV)\approx 0.1$ whereas the weak interaction has a much lower coupling constant $\alpha_w \approx 10^{-6}$. Both theories are non-abelian ...

What are clover fermions?

I've seen the term been used quite a lot when reading about lattice gauge theory calculations. So far what I've gathered is the following, from this source [1]. Lorentz invariance of the action is ...

The 1-loop anomalous dimension of massless quark field for $SU(N)$ gauge theory with $n_f$ quark flavours

Considering $SU(N)$ gauge theory with $n_f$ massless quarks I want to find the anomalous dimension to order of 1-loop of the massless quark field, that defined by: $$\gamma_q(g^{(R)})=\frac{1}{2Z_q}\...

A Question about Wave-Function Renormalization Factor in SQCD

Here, I have a question about the one-loop computation of the wave-function renormalization factor in SQCD. According to Seiberg duality, the following electric $\mathrm{SQCD}_{e}$ \begin{gather} ...
