00:00:24,140 --> 00:00:27,530 talking about the chiral Lagrangian as another example 10 00:00:27,530 --> 00:00:29,368 of an effective field theory to illustrate 11 00:00:29,368 --> 00:00:31,160 some of the tools of effective field theory 12 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:32,660 that we didn't meet when integrating 13 00:00:32,660 --> 00:00:33,955 our heavy particles. 14 00:00:33,955 --> 00:00:36,820 It was an example of a bottom-up effective field theory. 15 00:00:36,820 --> 00:00:38,570 So we were constructing it from the bottom 16 00:00:38,570 --> 00:00:42,320 up for the most part. 17 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,810 That's how one should think about it. 18 00:00:44,810 --> 00:00:46,563 There was several things in our program 19 00:00:46,563 --> 00:00:48,480 to understand from chiral perturbation theory. 20 00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:50,240 And we kind of got halfway through. 21 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,160 So we want to understand nonlinear symmetry 22 00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:53,065 representations. 23 00:00:53,065 --> 00:00:54,440 And we went through how you could 24 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,630 think about linear representations 25 00:00:56,630 --> 00:00:59,780 and making changes of variable and putting 26 00:00:59,780 --> 00:01:02,000 the Lagrangian in a form where you could see where 27 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,910 the nonlinear realization was coming from very explicitly, 28 00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:08,540 as well as another way where we constructed it 29 00:01:08,540 --> 00:01:12,800 from the bottom up thinking about parameterizing 30 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,720 the co-set. 31 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,650 And then we started talking about loops 32 00:01:16,650 --> 00:01:17,900 in chiral perturbation theory. 33 00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:20,883 And I gave you this example of this loop here. 34 00:01:20,883 --> 00:01:22,550 So we constructed the chiral Lagrangian. 35 00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:24,260 That's what I've written here. 36 00:01:24,260 --> 00:01:25,640 In terms of the sigma field, this 37 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,110 is the nonlinear version, sigma field, exponential of M field. 38 00:01:30,110 --> 00:01:32,690 M field has the pi n fields in it. 39 00:01:32,690 --> 00:01:35,360 I rewrote it in a little bit of a different notation, which 40 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,550 will be useful today, where I introduced 41 00:01:37,550 --> 00:01:39,200 this thing called chi. 42 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,840 But f squared over 8 chi is just Mq. 43 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,042 So it's just a rescaling. 44 00:01:44,042 --> 00:01:46,250 And I just wanted to have the same kind of pre-factor 45 00:01:46,250 --> 00:01:47,750 here and here. 46 00:01:47,750 --> 00:01:49,430 That's why I did that. 47 00:01:49,430 --> 00:01:54,260 The power counting is in p squared derivatives or M pi 48 00:01:54,260 --> 00:01:56,480 squared, which is the same as Mq. 49 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,690 And the reason that M pi squared and Mq count the same 50 00:01:59,690 --> 00:02:03,260 is there's this relation between pi squared and the quark 51 00:02:03,260 --> 00:02:04,910 masses. 52 00:02:04,910 --> 00:02:06,890 And then we started talking about loops. 53 00:02:06,890 --> 00:02:09,710 And we said that, if we looked at this loop, 54 00:02:09,710 --> 00:02:12,350 the result for this loop diagram would be a factor of p squared 55 00:02:12,350 --> 00:02:14,142 or M pi squared times a factor of p squared 56 00:02:14,142 --> 00:02:17,000 or M pi squared divided by 4 pi f. 57 00:02:24,140 --> 00:02:26,450 This is the same size as the lowest order, 58 00:02:26,450 --> 00:02:28,190 so the suppression factor is this. 59 00:02:45,755 --> 00:02:47,380 So we can say that loops are suppressed 60 00:02:47,380 --> 00:02:49,600 by p squared over some scale lambda chi squared. 61 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,760 So this is scale of our expansion. 62 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,460 And we can associate that scale to 4 pi times f. 63 00:02:57,590 --> 00:02:59,870 OK, so we're going to continue with that story 64 00:02:59,870 --> 00:03:03,970 unless there's any questions from last time. 65 00:03:03,970 --> 00:03:08,920 OK, so we want to use dimensional regularization. 66 00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:12,670 And if we use dimensional regularization, 67 00:03:12,670 --> 00:03:14,710 we can think about having an MS bar scheme. 68 00:03:17,620 --> 00:03:19,890 So how do we do that? 69 00:03:19,890 --> 00:03:21,640 It's a little different than gauge theory, 70 00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:23,810 but the idea is exactly the same. 71 00:03:23,810 --> 00:03:25,540 So we look at the dimensions of objects. 72 00:03:25,540 --> 00:03:30,910 This capital M-- supposed to be a capital M-- 73 00:03:30,910 --> 00:03:36,310 is like a scalar field, so it has dimension 1 minus epsilon. 74 00:03:36,310 --> 00:03:39,520 The decay constant then, if you look 75 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,760 at it, which is the coupling, has to have dimension 76 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,953 1 minus epsilon 2. 77 00:03:43,953 --> 00:03:46,120 And you can see that because this exponential better 78 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,900 be the exponential of something dimensionless 79 00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:49,442 so that, whatever the dimension of M, 80 00:03:49,442 --> 00:03:54,220 should cancel the dimension of f. 81 00:03:54,220 --> 00:03:56,740 And then that works out with the look with the measure 82 00:03:56,740 --> 00:03:57,820 as well, which has a ddx. 83 00:04:01,180 --> 00:04:07,880 So therefore, just like you did for a gauge coupling, 84 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,590 you can say f bare in some mu to the minus epsilon times f. 85 00:04:24,770 --> 00:04:27,830 And if you want to do the same thing for the second term, 86 00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:30,500 though I've put the V0 inside the-- 87 00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:33,200 sorry, there's something missing in my equation. 88 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,300 There was a V0 here. 89 00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:38,300 So before last time, we've written this equation 90 00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:40,790 as V0 out front and then Mq inside. 91 00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:43,940 And I just rescaled it to this chi. 92 00:04:43,940 --> 00:04:47,030 OK, so you can think either in terms of chi. 93 00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:53,960 Chi is kind of absorbing the parameter along with the Mq, 94 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,400 but they're equivalent things. 95 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,340 So you can think of also doing a rescaling that 96 00:04:58,340 --> 00:05:00,410 gets the dimension of this term right. 97 00:05:00,410 --> 00:05:03,980 And the thing that you want is this. 98 00:05:03,980 --> 00:05:06,290 The P0 would then be mu to the minus 2 epsilon 99 00:05:06,290 --> 00:05:08,960 to compensate for the fact that the first term had an f squared 100 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,402 and the second term just had a V0. 101 00:05:13,097 --> 00:05:14,680 But that's just to dimension counting. 102 00:05:32,820 --> 00:05:35,820 There's also no mus in physical quantities like the pi n 103 00:05:35,820 --> 00:05:38,850 mass, which is an observable, which 104 00:05:38,850 --> 00:05:41,520 has just a definite value. 105 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,680 And there's also, in chiral perturbation theory, 106 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,360 no mus in the quark mass. 107 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,780 So when you look at V0 over f squared, 108 00:05:51,780 --> 00:05:58,491 if you look at it bare, that's the same as renormalized. 109 00:06:02,340 --> 00:06:05,340 The other thing that's different about this than in a gauge 110 00:06:05,340 --> 00:06:07,470 theory is, in the gauge theory, you'd have a z. 111 00:06:07,470 --> 00:06:11,250 You'd have g bare is equal to e to the epsilon times g, 112 00:06:11,250 --> 00:06:13,343 but then you'd have a zg. 113 00:06:13,343 --> 00:06:14,760 But in chiral perturbation theory, 114 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,800 the way that the loops work, the loops 115 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,940 aren't renormalizing the leading order Lagrangian. 116 00:06:20,940 --> 00:06:23,070 The loops are renormalizing something else 117 00:06:23,070 --> 00:06:25,560 because they ended up being suppressed. 118 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,265 So you don't need counter-terms here for the leading order 119 00:06:29,265 --> 00:06:30,840 Lagrangian. 120 00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:33,510 And that's why I didn't put a zf or a zV0 here. 121 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,210 OK, but when you do this loop, you 122 00:06:39,210 --> 00:06:41,377 do get ultraviolet divergences. 123 00:06:53,070 --> 00:06:54,758 So you get 1 over epsilon divergence 124 00:06:54,758 --> 00:06:56,550 if you're using dimensional regularization. 125 00:06:56,550 --> 00:06:59,460 And it comes along with the log of mu squared. 126 00:06:59,460 --> 00:07:01,710 And then it'll be divided by some scale 127 00:07:01,710 --> 00:07:05,400 that you have in your loop, like an external momentum p squared, 128 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:11,490 or it could be the pi n mass. 129 00:07:11,490 --> 00:07:13,862 Both of those will show up generically. 130 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:35,592 And in the way we're doing counting, the way the loops are 131 00:07:35,592 --> 00:07:37,800 showing up, if I can bind together the factors that I 132 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,480 told you about here, it's either p to the fourth, 4 powers of p, 133 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,920 or 2 of p and 2 of M pi or 4 powers of M pi. 134 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,020 So to cancel that 1 over epsilon, 135 00:07:49,020 --> 00:07:50,542 we need a counter-term. 136 00:07:50,542 --> 00:07:52,500 But it's not a counter-term in that Lagrangian. 137 00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:54,843 It's a counter term in the higher order Lagrangian. 138 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,010 So we're not done by just calculating the loop. 139 00:08:03,010 --> 00:08:05,527 We have to actually include some higher dimension 140 00:08:05,527 --> 00:08:07,860 operators that are the same order in our power counting. 141 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,130 So we'll talk about SU(3) a little later. 142 00:08:21,130 --> 00:08:24,010 I'll start out by talking about SU(2). 143 00:08:24,010 --> 00:08:28,240 In SU(2), the form of that Lagrangian with higher order 144 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,140 terms is just taking what we had before and just 145 00:08:32,140 --> 00:08:33,991 going to a higher dimension. 146 00:08:37,090 --> 00:08:40,330 So we could have two more derivatives. 147 00:08:40,330 --> 00:08:43,809 One way of doing that is taking what we had at lowest order 148 00:08:43,809 --> 00:08:44,680 and squaring it. 149 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,820 Another way of doing it would be to take and contract 150 00:08:54,820 --> 00:08:56,420 the indices a little bit differently. 151 00:08:56,420 --> 00:09:00,490 So I could do it like this. 152 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,360 The trace is cyclic, so I can move things around from back 153 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,530 to front. 154 00:09:08,530 --> 00:09:10,330 But I could have mu nu in one trace 155 00:09:10,330 --> 00:09:12,902 and mu nu in another trace rather than just contracting 156 00:09:12,902 --> 00:09:13,610 within the trace. 157 00:09:13,610 --> 00:09:17,050 That's another possible term. 158 00:09:17,050 --> 00:09:18,550 And there's a bunch more terms which 159 00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:22,570 I decided to wait and enumerate when we do SU(3) to give you 160 00:09:22,570 --> 00:09:24,550 a full enumeration. 161 00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:32,800 These additional terms you can build 162 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:39,250 from one Mq, which means one of these chi fields or chi 163 00:09:39,250 --> 00:09:45,490 objects and two partials. 164 00:09:45,490 --> 00:09:54,340 That's one possibility or two Mq's because each Mq 165 00:09:54,340 --> 00:09:56,222 counts like two derivatives. 166 00:09:56,222 --> 00:09:58,180 So there's some other terms that we could build 167 00:09:58,180 --> 00:09:59,873 that are analogs of this term. 168 00:09:59,873 --> 00:10:01,540 You could square that term, for example. 169 00:10:01,540 --> 00:10:04,420 That would be a possible higher order term. 170 00:10:04,420 --> 00:10:07,360 And so these coefficients of this Lagrangian 171 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,300 are what we need to cancel off the divergences. 172 00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:12,490 So the counter-terms that we have 173 00:10:12,490 --> 00:10:14,200 that renormalize these loop graphs 174 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,862 come from this Lagrangian. 175 00:10:38,020 --> 00:10:42,220 So the theory is renormalizable in a EFT sense, order 176 00:10:42,220 --> 00:10:44,800 by order in its power counting expansion. 177 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,740 When you go to order p to the fourth, 178 00:10:46,740 --> 00:10:48,490 you have to consistently put in everything 179 00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:50,110 that's order p to the fourth. 180 00:10:50,110 --> 00:10:53,110 That includes the loops, which are p to the fourth, 181 00:10:53,110 --> 00:10:59,260 as well as new local Lagrangian interactions. 182 00:10:59,260 --> 00:11:01,580 AUDIENCE: Is that a choice to not renormalize 183 00:11:01,580 --> 00:11:03,370 the f bare and [? d ?] bare? 184 00:11:03,370 --> 00:11:05,620 IAIN STEWART: They just don't get renormalized. 185 00:11:05,620 --> 00:11:07,870 AUDIENCE: But why couldn't I just multiply by 1 plus-- 186 00:11:07,870 --> 00:11:08,620 IAIN STEWART: Oh-- 187 00:11:08,620 --> 00:11:12,072 AUDIENCE: --order p squared by times delta [INAUDIBLE].. 188 00:11:12,072 --> 00:11:13,780 IAIN STEWART: Oh, you want to try to make 189 00:11:13,780 --> 00:11:15,010 a different scheme for them? 190 00:11:15,010 --> 00:11:17,302 AUDIENCE: I'd screw up the power counting [INAUDIBLE].. 191 00:11:19,930 --> 00:11:25,890 IAIN STEWART: So effectively, you 192 00:11:25,890 --> 00:11:27,890 could screw up the power counting by doing that. 193 00:11:27,890 --> 00:11:31,690 So let me tell you what you can do. 194 00:11:31,690 --> 00:11:33,400 You could put a 2 here, right? 195 00:11:36,670 --> 00:11:38,530 But you don't really have much more freedom 196 00:11:38,530 --> 00:11:40,270 than just multiplying by a number. 197 00:11:40,270 --> 00:11:41,895 AUDIENCE: So I can't multiply by 1 plus 198 00:11:41,895 --> 00:11:43,798 p squared over s squared. 199 00:11:43,798 --> 00:11:44,590 IAIN STEWART: Yeah. 200 00:11:44,590 --> 00:11:46,548 That would be a screwing up the power counting. 201 00:11:46,548 --> 00:11:50,945 And effectively, you wouldn't be multiplying by p squared. 202 00:11:50,945 --> 00:11:52,570 You'd be putting derivatives in, right? 203 00:11:52,570 --> 00:11:53,860 Because there's no p. 204 00:11:53,860 --> 00:11:58,893 So p is not something that you're allowed to multiply by. 205 00:11:58,893 --> 00:12:00,310 AUDIENCE: So that's the only thing 206 00:12:00,310 --> 00:12:02,680 that's stopping me-- is what is derivatives [INAUDIBLE]?? 207 00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:03,850 IAIN STEWART: You could put derivatives in, 208 00:12:03,850 --> 00:12:05,440 but then that's equivalent to something here. 209 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,160 So you have to ask what you're doing because you're mixing up 210 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:08,660 things. 211 00:12:08,660 --> 00:12:09,310 AUDIENCE: OK. 212 00:12:09,310 --> 00:12:09,720 IAIN STEWART: Yeah. 213 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,030 AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE] definitely a better way to do. 214 00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:13,180 I was just wondering if there was sort of freedom. 215 00:12:13,180 --> 00:12:15,097 IAIN STEWART: Yeah, there's no freedom really. 216 00:12:15,097 --> 00:12:15,890 AUDIENCE: Good. 217 00:12:15,890 --> 00:12:18,432 AUDIENCE: Why you don't get the renormalization [INAUDIBLE],, 218 00:12:18,432 --> 00:12:21,312 like from [INAUDIBLE] [? loop? ?] 219 00:12:21,312 --> 00:12:23,770 IAIN STEWART: Because all the loops end up being suppressed 220 00:12:23,770 --> 00:12:27,980 by p squared or M pi squared. 221 00:12:27,980 --> 00:12:33,220 So if you write down any diagram and you think it might give 222 00:12:33,220 --> 00:12:38,210 something here, even if it's a two-point function, 223 00:12:38,210 --> 00:12:40,825 it just doesn't. 224 00:12:40,825 --> 00:12:43,870 AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE] to 4 [INAUDIBLE].. 225 00:12:43,870 --> 00:12:45,560 IAIN STEWART: That's right. 226 00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:48,940 Oh, so if you want, you could think that some terms here 227 00:12:48,940 --> 00:12:51,670 are kind of corrections to the kinetic term 228 00:12:51,670 --> 00:12:54,200 if you derive the equation of motion 229 00:12:54,200 --> 00:13:03,730 and you include L and that L and this L. But this Lagrangian, 230 00:13:03,730 --> 00:13:06,130 there's no loop corrections to this Lagrangian. 231 00:13:06,130 --> 00:13:09,820 There's no corrections to this lowest order Lagrangian. 232 00:13:09,820 --> 00:13:12,460 And that's because the loops are all suppressed. 233 00:13:12,460 --> 00:13:13,960 Totally different then gauge theory, 234 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,310 loops are suppressed by p squared or M pi squared. 235 00:13:16,310 --> 00:13:18,460 So they only renormalize some high order things. 236 00:13:18,460 --> 00:13:24,670 And we don't have to worry about really thinking about f. 237 00:13:24,670 --> 00:13:27,850 I mean, the way I've talked about f here 238 00:13:27,850 --> 00:13:29,650 and the factors of mu is just in order 239 00:13:29,650 --> 00:13:32,530 to see where these factors and mu come out here. 240 00:13:32,530 --> 00:13:38,702 But what actually happens is that you get 1 over epsilons 241 00:13:38,702 --> 00:13:40,660 that are cancelled like the counter-terms here. 242 00:13:40,660 --> 00:13:45,700 And there's no need from a renormalization perspective 243 00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:47,655 to sort of change your definitions here. 244 00:13:47,655 --> 00:13:49,280 People play with different definitions, 245 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,905 but it's like they use f squared over 4 246 00:13:50,905 --> 00:13:52,420 instead of f squared over 8. 247 00:13:52,420 --> 00:13:54,700 That's the extent of what people do 248 00:13:54,700 --> 00:13:56,965 with playing with the leading order Lagrangian. 249 00:13:56,965 --> 00:13:58,420 AUDIENCE: So you have [INAUDIBLE] the same thing with 250 00:13:58,420 --> 00:13:59,830 the [INAUDIBLE] that [INAUDIBLE] [? is not ?] 251 00:13:59,830 --> 00:14:01,212 [? renormalizing ?] [INAUDIBLE]. 252 00:14:01,212 --> 00:14:02,920 IAIN STEWART: Both of them are not, yeah. 253 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:03,970 Yeah. 254 00:14:03,970 --> 00:14:07,270 So loops that you build out of these interactions 255 00:14:07,270 --> 00:14:16,418 end up renormalizing these terms, which is kind of neat. 256 00:14:16,418 --> 00:14:19,830 AUDIENCE: That's just because [INAUDIBLE].. 257 00:14:19,830 --> 00:14:22,746 That's just because there's [INAUDIBLE] [? sort of ?] 258 00:14:22,746 --> 00:14:24,210 [INAUDIBLE]. 259 00:14:24,210 --> 00:14:25,840 IAIN STEWART: Yeah. 260 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,160 Well, so we'll prove in a minute a general power counting 261 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,570 formula that tells us how to organize all this. 262 00:14:32,570 --> 00:14:34,920 So for now, you can think of it as an observation, 263 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,970 but we'll build it into a general formula that tells you 264 00:14:38,970 --> 00:14:41,573 sort of how you would organize the power counting 265 00:14:41,573 --> 00:14:42,990 and renormalization of this theory 266 00:14:42,990 --> 00:14:46,810 to all orders in its expansion in a minute. 267 00:14:46,810 --> 00:14:49,060 AUDIENCE: So when you write down all these [INAUDIBLE] 268 00:14:49,060 --> 00:14:51,680 at [? power ?] [? p4, ?] does that include all 269 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:52,800 the [INAUDIBLE] you need? 270 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:53,610 IAIN STEWART: Yeah. 271 00:14:53,610 --> 00:14:55,530 That's right. 272 00:14:55,530 --> 00:14:57,270 Once I've enumerated all the terms, 273 00:14:57,270 --> 00:14:59,310 which I will do for you with SU(3)-- 274 00:14:59,310 --> 00:15:02,580 so it includes things like this and things like this as well-- 275 00:15:02,580 --> 00:15:04,710 then those are all the possible counter-terms 276 00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:07,278 that you could actually need to renormalize 277 00:15:07,278 --> 00:15:08,820 any of the one-loop diagrams that you 278 00:15:08,820 --> 00:15:12,420 could generate with the leading order Lagrangian. 279 00:15:12,420 --> 00:15:15,067 And you know that by power counting. 280 00:15:15,067 --> 00:15:16,650 Once you know the loops are that order 281 00:15:16,650 --> 00:15:19,830 and you've included all local interactions, then you're done. 282 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:28,860 So there's things I didn't write down there, so just 283 00:15:28,860 --> 00:15:30,930 comment about that. 284 00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:34,747 So what is the equation of motion here? 285 00:15:34,747 --> 00:15:37,080 It's a little more complicated because we have the sigma 286 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,680 field, but you can work out that the equation of motion 287 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:41,460 is the following. 288 00:15:57,580 --> 00:16:01,440 And I've given you some reading, so you 289 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:06,000 can read about a derivation of this equation which 290 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,590 takes a little effort. 291 00:16:07,590 --> 00:16:09,330 So your leading order equation of motion 292 00:16:09,330 --> 00:16:12,120 basically allows you to get rid of partial squareds 293 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,590 on the sigma. 294 00:16:13,590 --> 00:16:16,350 And that's why I've always written 295 00:16:16,350 --> 00:16:18,887 one partial on each sigma. 296 00:16:18,887 --> 00:16:20,970 So that's what you should think of this guy doing. 297 00:16:29,860 --> 00:16:31,500 There's also some SU(2) identities 298 00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:37,380 that have been used, even in what I've written, 299 00:16:37,380 --> 00:16:40,230 because you could think of having other types of traces 300 00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:42,300 like this one, for example. 301 00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:46,925 Instead of having trace squared, I could have the following. 302 00:16:46,925 --> 00:16:48,300 Just put everything in one trace. 303 00:16:55,110 --> 00:16:57,840 I always have to alternate sigma sigma dagger, 304 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:04,170 sigma sigma dagger because del mu sigma sigma dagger is 0. 305 00:17:04,170 --> 00:17:06,990 Because sigma sigma dagger is 1. 306 00:17:06,990 --> 00:17:11,160 And that provides an identity that I'm also able to use. 307 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,035 And so I want to have sigmas and sigma 308 00:17:13,035 --> 00:17:14,160 daggers next to each other. 309 00:17:18,733 --> 00:17:21,150 Sorry, chiral symmetry means that sigmas and sigma daggers 310 00:17:21,150 --> 00:17:23,290 should be next to each other. 311 00:17:23,290 --> 00:17:26,290 This is an identity that I can also use to simplify things. 312 00:17:26,290 --> 00:17:28,380 So that allows me to move things around. 313 00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:31,230 And this operator, though, in SU(2) 314 00:17:31,230 --> 00:17:33,330 is actually related to these two. 315 00:17:33,330 --> 00:17:34,740 It's not unique. 316 00:17:34,740 --> 00:17:37,500 Because of the structure of Pauli matrices, 317 00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:40,500 you have a formula which you can work out, 318 00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:43,350 which says that this guy is actually 319 00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:44,865 half of the trace squared. 320 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,240 And there's another one if you did. 321 00:18:03,550 --> 00:18:09,615 This guy, he also can be related to those two guys over there. 322 00:18:09,615 --> 00:18:10,990 So there's a bunch of things that 323 00:18:10,990 --> 00:18:13,780 went into even writing down the level of information 324 00:18:13,780 --> 00:18:14,860 that I told you. 325 00:18:14,860 --> 00:18:16,900 You could think there's more things, 326 00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:19,130 but then, when you enumerate all the possible things 327 00:18:19,130 --> 00:18:21,130 that you can do, you find that those more things 328 00:18:21,130 --> 00:18:23,030 are related to these things. 329 00:18:23,030 --> 00:18:25,030 So you really want to construct a minimal basis. 330 00:18:25,030 --> 00:18:27,030 And there's some things that go into doing that. 331 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:41,060 So at order p to the fourth, as I said, we include both loops. 332 00:18:41,060 --> 00:18:45,170 And those loops will have terms like p to the fourth log 333 00:18:45,170 --> 00:18:46,370 mu squared over p squared. 334 00:18:52,370 --> 00:18:55,970 And we include terms like the L1 and L2, 335 00:18:55,970 --> 00:19:02,150 which are p of the fourth type interactions. 336 00:19:02,150 --> 00:19:04,010 Once I take out the counter-term, 337 00:19:04,010 --> 00:19:06,520 the renormalized coupling is mu dependent just 338 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:07,520 like the gauge coupling. 339 00:19:14,075 --> 00:19:15,950 This just comes from a four-point interaction 340 00:19:15,950 --> 00:19:17,780 with the Li. 341 00:19:17,780 --> 00:19:20,960 And the mu dependence, by construction, 342 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,640 was canceled between these two things. 343 00:19:25,310 --> 00:19:28,400 The divergence from the loop is cancelled by the counter-term. 344 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,500 And correspondingly, the corresponding statement, 345 00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:32,083 if you want to make it in terms of mu, 346 00:19:32,083 --> 00:19:35,600 is that the mu dependence that is tightly tied to that 1 over 347 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,065 epsilon is cancelled in the renormalized quantities. 348 00:19:50,172 --> 00:19:51,630 So there's these two contributions. 349 00:19:51,630 --> 00:19:53,070 They're both mu dependent. 350 00:19:53,070 --> 00:19:55,853 And that mu dependence cancels. 351 00:19:55,853 --> 00:19:57,520 So the way that you should think of this 352 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,190 is you should think mu is a cut off. 353 00:20:01,190 --> 00:20:03,550 It's not a hard cut off, but it is a cut off. 354 00:20:08,350 --> 00:20:10,455 And what the cut off is doing is dividing up 355 00:20:10,455 --> 00:20:11,830 infrared and ultraviolet physics. 356 00:20:16,210 --> 00:20:18,610 In this case, the low energy physics 357 00:20:18,610 --> 00:20:26,050 is in the matrix elements in the loops 358 00:20:26,050 --> 00:20:28,730 where we have our propagating low energy degrees of freedom, 359 00:20:28,730 --> 00:20:31,060 which are the pions. 360 00:20:31,060 --> 00:20:34,645 And the high energy physics is in the coefficients, as usual. 361 00:20:43,730 --> 00:20:44,980 And they're both mu dependent. 362 00:20:44,980 --> 00:20:47,270 And you can think of that mu dependent as a cut off 363 00:20:47,270 --> 00:20:49,310 that divides up how much of the physics 364 00:20:49,310 --> 00:20:52,010 goes into those low energy loops, how much of the physics 365 00:20:52,010 --> 00:20:55,630 goes into the couplings. 366 00:20:55,630 --> 00:20:59,050 So the difference between this and integrating 367 00:20:59,050 --> 00:21:01,030 on a massive particle is not the physics 368 00:21:01,030 --> 00:21:03,550 of where things go because the low energy physics always 369 00:21:03,550 --> 00:21:04,717 goes in the matrix elements. 370 00:21:04,717 --> 00:21:06,790 The high energy physics goes in the couplings. 371 00:21:06,790 --> 00:21:10,638 The difference is that, here, the way that you should think 372 00:21:10,638 --> 00:21:13,180 of it is that we can calculate the matrix elements explicitly 373 00:21:13,180 --> 00:21:16,510 because our theory is in terms of the right degrees of freedom 374 00:21:16,510 --> 00:21:21,910 to describe long distance physics, which are the pions. 375 00:21:21,910 --> 00:21:24,010 And then the coefficients are the unknowns. 376 00:21:24,010 --> 00:21:28,093 That's the way in which it's different. 377 00:21:28,093 --> 00:21:29,760 And that's really kind of the difference 378 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,500 between bottom-up and top-down. 379 00:21:42,740 --> 00:21:47,500 So with that in mind, if you want 380 00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:51,670 to think of what these couplings are, if we just 381 00:21:51,670 --> 00:21:59,470 divide by f squared, then you can think about dimensionally 382 00:21:59,470 --> 00:22:01,030 what they are. 383 00:22:01,030 --> 00:22:02,860 In order for them to sort of match up 384 00:22:02,860 --> 00:22:05,260 with what we got from the loops is 385 00:22:05,260 --> 00:22:10,800 that they have some dependence that looks like this. 386 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,400 You can think of it as parameterized 387 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,590 by some coefficients a and b. 388 00:22:14,590 --> 00:22:17,200 If I want to match up with the 4 pi f squared that comes from 389 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,750 the loops, then I have to sort of say that there's a 4 pi 390 00:22:19,750 --> 00:22:22,150 hiding inside the Li's. 391 00:22:22,150 --> 00:22:24,200 So I can do that. 392 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,300 And then there's some coefficients here. 393 00:22:26,300 --> 00:22:27,730 There's some mu dependence. 394 00:22:27,730 --> 00:22:29,770 And the scales that are in the coefficients 395 00:22:29,770 --> 00:22:32,350 are the high scales, like lambda chi and higher 396 00:22:32,350 --> 00:22:34,970 and rho, those types of things. 397 00:22:34,970 --> 00:22:36,940 So let me just call it lambda chi. 398 00:22:36,940 --> 00:22:38,920 And then there's some numbers here a 399 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:44,650 and b, which encode the high mass physics. 400 00:22:44,650 --> 00:22:47,560 Now, the point of thinking about power counting 401 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,570 is that thinking about the fact that the loops 402 00:22:49,570 --> 00:22:51,610 and these coefficients are the same size 403 00:22:51,610 --> 00:22:54,130 actually tells you that these ai's and bi's should 404 00:22:54,130 --> 00:22:54,820 be order 1. 405 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,310 And this actually goes under the rubric of something called 406 00:23:07,310 --> 00:23:08,780 naive dimensional analysis. 407 00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:23,613 So what naive dimensional analysis says 408 00:23:23,613 --> 00:23:26,030 is that this cut off that we've put between the low energy 409 00:23:26,030 --> 00:23:28,310 physics and the high energy physics is arbitrary. 410 00:23:28,310 --> 00:23:29,300 And we could change it. 411 00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:31,250 We could change it by a factor of 2. 412 00:23:31,250 --> 00:23:35,070 And what changing it does is it moves pieces back and forth. 413 00:23:35,070 --> 00:23:37,100 But if we could move pieces back and forth, 414 00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:39,800 then you wouldn't expect that the two things that you're 415 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,130 talking about would be different in magnitude 416 00:23:43,130 --> 00:23:45,760 because we're allowed to move pieces back and forth. 417 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,840 So you expect that the size of contributions 418 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,680 from the coefficients are about the same size as the loops. 419 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:58,320 And that's this naive dimensional analysis. 420 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,410 So changing mu moves pieces back and forth. 421 00:24:05,450 --> 00:24:14,610 The sum is mu independent, but each individual thing is not. 422 00:24:21,330 --> 00:24:26,130 And because we're able to move things back and forth, 423 00:24:26,130 --> 00:24:28,860 we expect them to be the same order of magnitude. 424 00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:50,030 And that is this statement here, that the ai's and bi's, 425 00:24:50,030 --> 00:24:53,300 once I account for the 4 pis-- 426 00:24:53,300 --> 00:24:56,202 so with this argument, I can figure out 427 00:24:56,202 --> 00:24:58,160 where there's 4 pis hiding in the coefficients. 428 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,108 Because I can identify 4 pis in loops. 429 00:25:00,108 --> 00:25:02,150 And then if they're supposed to be the same size, 430 00:25:02,150 --> 00:25:06,460 I can also identify 4 pis in coefficients. 431 00:25:06,460 --> 00:25:10,150 So if you had figured this out, I don't know, 20 years ago, 432 00:25:10,150 --> 00:25:13,430 then you could have got a PhD thesis like Aneesh Manohar did, 433 00:25:13,430 --> 00:25:14,710 which was 25 pages long. 434 00:25:20,540 --> 00:25:22,400 Short PhD theses do exist. 435 00:25:27,605 --> 00:25:28,105 OK. 436 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,110 So what do we do in practice? 437 00:25:39,110 --> 00:25:41,210 In practice, we have to pick a value of mu. 438 00:25:41,210 --> 00:25:43,680 Just like when we were talking about gauge theory, 439 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:44,930 we need to pick a value of mu. 440 00:25:44,930 --> 00:25:47,780 There we were picking things like mu equals Mb. 441 00:25:47,780 --> 00:25:50,630 Here, what people do is they typically pick 442 00:25:50,630 --> 00:25:52,700 mus that are high. 443 00:25:52,700 --> 00:25:54,710 So maybe they would pick the rho mass. 444 00:25:54,710 --> 00:25:58,640 Maybe they would pick lambda chi. 445 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,390 Or they pick just something in between, like a GeV. 446 00:26:02,390 --> 00:26:04,190 These are typical values that people use. 447 00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:12,820 So what that means is that you've removed all large logs 448 00:26:12,820 --> 00:26:13,930 from your coefficients. 449 00:26:13,930 --> 00:26:15,930 And that's because you want dimensional analysis 450 00:26:15,930 --> 00:26:18,830 to hold for your coefficients because you don't know them. 451 00:26:18,830 --> 00:26:20,740 So you would like to have some power counting 452 00:26:20,740 --> 00:26:21,430 estimate for them. 453 00:26:21,430 --> 00:26:22,990 Then you'd like to go out and fit them to data. 454 00:26:22,990 --> 00:26:25,115 And you'd like the result that you get from fitting 455 00:26:25,115 --> 00:26:27,880 to the data to agree with your power counting estimate, 456 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,290 so that you're happy. 457 00:26:29,290 --> 00:26:33,460 It turns out that it does, so you are happy. 458 00:26:33,460 --> 00:26:37,300 And so to avoid large logs in the story, 459 00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:39,310 you put the large logs into the matrix elements. 460 00:26:54,655 --> 00:26:57,030 So that's different than our story in gauge theory, where 461 00:26:57,030 --> 00:26:59,613 we were thinking that we would re-sum all the large logarithms 462 00:26:59,613 --> 00:27:00,780 in the coefficients. 463 00:27:00,780 --> 00:27:02,490 And then our matrix elements would also 464 00:27:02,490 --> 00:27:03,750 have no large logarithms. 465 00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:05,250 Here, we're just saying, well, let's 466 00:27:05,250 --> 00:27:07,800 allow for large logs in the matrix element. 467 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,992 But the story is also different from gauge theory 468 00:27:09,992 --> 00:27:11,700 in another way, which is that there's not 469 00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:14,810 an infinite series here of large logarithms 470 00:27:14,810 --> 00:27:15,810 that you need to re-sum. 471 00:27:31,190 --> 00:27:33,710 And that's related to the fact that the kinetic term didn't 472 00:27:33,710 --> 00:27:35,237 get renormalized. 473 00:27:35,237 --> 00:27:37,070 There's no mu dependence in the coefficients 474 00:27:37,070 --> 00:27:37,960 of the kinetic term. 475 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,030 So when the loop graphs aren't having 476 00:27:41,030 --> 00:27:44,450 coefficient squared depending on mu, that doesn't happen. 477 00:27:44,450 --> 00:27:47,300 We simply have one log in our loop graphs, 478 00:27:47,300 --> 00:27:50,060 one log from our counter-term diagrams. 479 00:27:50,060 --> 00:27:51,840 They explicitly cancel. 480 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,060 There's no high order terms. 481 00:27:53,060 --> 00:27:55,268 The renormalization group here is completely trivial. 482 00:27:55,268 --> 00:27:57,900 If you integrate, you just get one log. 483 00:27:57,900 --> 00:28:01,900 So there's not really even a reason to talk about it. 484 00:28:01,900 --> 00:28:04,790 OK, so there's certainly some differences in this theory 485 00:28:04,790 --> 00:28:06,200 than there are in gauge theory. 486 00:28:29,370 --> 00:28:31,650 And so typically, the paradigm that you have is you 487 00:28:31,650 --> 00:28:33,030 can calculate matrix elements. 488 00:28:33,030 --> 00:28:34,830 You're going to fit the coefficients. 489 00:28:34,830 --> 00:28:36,468 You think of enough experiments such 490 00:28:36,468 --> 00:28:38,010 that you can get all that information 491 00:28:38,010 --> 00:28:39,052 about those coefficients. 492 00:28:39,052 --> 00:28:40,980 And then you can think of other experiments 493 00:28:40,980 --> 00:28:43,833 and make predictions. 494 00:28:43,833 --> 00:28:45,750 Now, as you go to higher orders in the theory, 495 00:28:45,750 --> 00:28:47,292 you get more coefficients because you 496 00:28:47,292 --> 00:28:48,780 keep having to go to higher orders 497 00:28:48,780 --> 00:28:51,630 and construct higher dimension operators. 498 00:28:51,630 --> 00:28:54,480 And so the paradigm of figuring out how to fit the coefficients 499 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:55,800 gets harder and harder. 500 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,240 And at some point, you effectively 501 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,410 lose predictive power because you 502 00:28:58,410 --> 00:28:59,993 can't think of enough observables that 503 00:28:59,993 --> 00:29:04,110 can be measured in order to fit all your coefficients. 504 00:29:04,110 --> 00:29:07,410 But certainly, at order p to the fourth, 505 00:29:07,410 --> 00:29:09,502 people can think of many more observables. 506 00:29:09,502 --> 00:29:11,085 And actually, people have worked out p 507 00:29:11,085 --> 00:29:13,470 to the sixth as well here. 508 00:29:19,217 --> 00:29:20,800 So two-loop chiral perturbation theory 509 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,133 is kind of the state of the art. 510 00:29:26,933 --> 00:29:28,100 AUDIENCE: I have a question. 511 00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:30,500 IAIN STEWART: Yeah. 512 00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:33,464 AUDIENCE: So why allow log in this case [? is not ?] screwing 513 00:29:33,464 --> 00:29:35,630 up the [INAUDIBLE]? 514 00:29:35,630 --> 00:29:38,123 IAIN STEWART: Yeah. 515 00:29:38,123 --> 00:29:40,290 It doesn't screw it up because it only happens once. 516 00:29:44,390 --> 00:29:46,565 So basically, what you could say is you can say, 517 00:29:46,565 --> 00:29:47,690 I have this matrix element. 518 00:29:47,690 --> 00:29:49,880 It's got a large log and a coefficient. 519 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,580 The coupling, it's not like large log times 520 00:29:52,580 --> 00:29:55,190 the coupling is something that you could count as order 1 521 00:29:55,190 --> 00:29:57,260 because that's not going to reappear 522 00:29:57,260 --> 00:30:00,140 in the higher order when you go to the higher order. 523 00:30:00,140 --> 00:30:02,030 So you still have a large log. 524 00:30:02,030 --> 00:30:04,460 And you are allowed to say that large log is 525 00:30:04,460 --> 00:30:07,070 the most important piece of my matrix element, 526 00:30:07,070 --> 00:30:10,130 but it doesn't repeat itself in the higher orders. 527 00:30:10,130 --> 00:30:11,900 Because once you go to higher loops, 528 00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:13,275 you're actually getting something 529 00:30:13,275 --> 00:30:16,960 that's power suppressed, not loop suppressed. 530 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,710 So the loops are giving power suppression. 531 00:30:18,710 --> 00:30:20,900 And that changes a lot of things. 532 00:30:28,575 --> 00:30:29,075 OK. 533 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,050 What would happen if we used a hard cut off? 534 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,900 Maybe some of this story would be a bit more transparent 535 00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:46,600 if we'd done that because we'd see that we were explicitly 536 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,450 dividing up low energy and high energy physics. 537 00:30:49,450 --> 00:30:52,540 But there's a price to pay for that transparency. 538 00:30:52,540 --> 00:30:55,450 And here, effectively everybody decides 539 00:30:55,450 --> 00:30:56,720 it's too high a price to pay. 540 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,680 And so they use dim reg. 541 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,170 So what type of prices would you pay? 542 00:31:02,170 --> 00:31:03,610 So if you did that, this loop here 543 00:31:03,610 --> 00:31:05,027 would actually have terms that are 544 00:31:05,027 --> 00:31:07,675 cut-off to the fourth over lambda chi to the fourth. 545 00:31:07,675 --> 00:31:09,175 And that guy breaks chiral symmetry. 546 00:31:12,190 --> 00:31:14,710 I mean, it's giving a constant term. 547 00:31:14,710 --> 00:31:17,710 And you're not seeing the derivative coupling. 548 00:31:17,710 --> 00:31:21,010 And that means, effectively, that there's no counter-term 549 00:31:21,010 --> 00:31:23,260 to absorb this dependence in our L chi 550 00:31:23,260 --> 00:31:26,690 because our L chi respected chiral symmetry. 551 00:31:26,690 --> 00:31:30,190 So that's kind of bad. 552 00:31:30,190 --> 00:31:31,690 If you had a cut-off, you'd also get 553 00:31:31,690 --> 00:31:34,750 terms that went cut-off squared times momentum squared 554 00:31:34,750 --> 00:31:37,720 where two powers of the p are replaced by cut-off. 555 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,710 And that, in this language that we used earlier, 556 00:31:41,710 --> 00:31:43,720 would break the power counting in the sense 557 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,060 that we have a power counting that 558 00:31:46,060 --> 00:31:48,880 says that the loops should be suppressed by d to the fourth. 559 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,370 And it's broken by this. 560 00:31:51,370 --> 00:31:55,870 And then you would need to absorb that and renormalize 561 00:31:55,870 --> 00:31:58,090 you're leading order coupling. 562 00:31:58,090 --> 00:31:59,810 But effectively, all the renormalization 563 00:31:59,810 --> 00:32:01,810 would be doing is restoring your power counting. 564 00:32:01,810 --> 00:32:03,940 It's not doing something that you should interpret 565 00:32:03,940 --> 00:32:05,380 as really a physical thing. 566 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,500 So it's just something to be avoided. 567 00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:16,860 And then finally, the physics that you actually want, 568 00:32:16,860 --> 00:32:23,830 which is the logs of the cut-off, would also be there. 569 00:32:23,830 --> 00:32:33,520 And you would do the same thing as you do in dim reg. 570 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:38,530 You would absorb that in higher dimension operators, OK? 571 00:32:38,530 --> 00:32:40,990 So we won't use a cut-off because we 572 00:32:40,990 --> 00:32:42,640 don't want to think about things that 573 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,057 are breaking power counting or messing up chiral symmetry. 574 00:32:52,510 --> 00:32:55,000 Another thing that's different about chiral theories 575 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,770 versus gauge theories is the structure 576 00:32:56,770 --> 00:32:58,390 of infrared divergences. 577 00:32:58,390 --> 00:33:00,460 And that's because you have derivative couplings. 578 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,650 So you have many fewer infrared singularities 579 00:33:11,650 --> 00:33:13,160 than you have in gauge theory. 580 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,700 And in fact, you usually don't have any. 581 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,580 And one way of describing that is that you usually 582 00:33:21,580 --> 00:33:24,940 have a good M pi squared goes to 0 583 00:33:24,940 --> 00:33:28,570 or p squared goes to 0 limit of your results. 584 00:33:33,230 --> 00:33:36,760 So you can just explicitly take these limits 585 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,680 and talk about the results in those limits. 586 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,430 And if we look back at what we were talking about, 587 00:33:42,430 --> 00:33:44,310 you get p to the fourth log p squared. 588 00:33:44,310 --> 00:33:46,770 So there's a p to the fourth multiplying the log p squared. 589 00:33:46,770 --> 00:33:48,520 So you're not seeing log p squared blow up 590 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,280 because it's got so many powers of p multiplying it. 591 00:33:57,100 --> 00:34:00,040 Although our focus is on formalism, 592 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,040 I have to at least give you one example of something predictive 593 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,780 and phenomenological. 594 00:34:04,780 --> 00:34:12,219 So pi pi scattering is a nice example of phenomenology. 595 00:34:12,219 --> 00:34:14,800 And it's particularly nice if you look at it 596 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,770 below an elastic threshold. 597 00:34:17,770 --> 00:34:19,769 So you just have elastic scattering. 598 00:34:25,870 --> 00:34:28,795 So you could look at pi pi goes to 4 pi. 599 00:34:28,795 --> 00:34:30,420 And that's something you could actually 600 00:34:30,420 --> 00:34:32,760 look at in chiral perturbation theory. 601 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:37,440 But if we look at just pi pi goes to pi pi 602 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,739 where we have not enough energy to produce 4 pions, 603 00:34:40,739 --> 00:34:44,500 then the scattering is particularly simple. 604 00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:48,449 It's just described by an S matrix, which we can 605 00:34:48,449 --> 00:34:50,969 enumerate channel by channel. 606 00:34:50,969 --> 00:35:04,680 And it's just a phase where this L is a partial wave phase. 607 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:05,700 And the i is an isospin. 608 00:35:08,820 --> 00:35:12,800 So for each isospin and for each angular momentum state, 609 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:13,800 we get different phases. 610 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,190 But that's encoding all the scattering. 611 00:35:17,190 --> 00:35:19,490 That's like doing non-relativistic scattering 612 00:35:19,490 --> 00:35:24,230 or very simple quantum mechanical scattering. 613 00:35:35,657 --> 00:35:37,740 And when you have an elastic scattering like that, 614 00:35:37,740 --> 00:35:44,880 there's something called the effective range expansion, 615 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,875 which is a derivative expansion for the phase shift delta. 616 00:35:50,540 --> 00:35:52,500 And if you do it for an arbitrary partial wave, 617 00:35:52,500 --> 00:35:54,350 this is how it looks. 618 00:35:54,350 --> 00:35:56,060 So this is, again, something that you 619 00:35:56,060 --> 00:36:00,410 would find in the discussion of scattering theory in quantum 620 00:36:00,410 --> 00:36:01,418 mechanics. 621 00:36:04,700 --> 00:36:06,500 And you have a derivative expansion 622 00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:09,860 of this quantity p to the 2L plus 1 cotan 623 00:36:09,860 --> 00:36:13,070 of that phase shift. 624 00:36:13,070 --> 00:36:19,790 And the a's here and the r0 depend on what channel 625 00:36:19,790 --> 00:36:22,880 you're talking about. 626 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,150 And if we actually just take the fact that we can-- 627 00:36:26,150 --> 00:36:28,220 so this is a description from quantum mechanics. 628 00:36:28,220 --> 00:36:29,990 This is true irrespective of what theory 629 00:36:29,990 --> 00:36:32,750 you're talking about as long as you don't have 630 00:36:32,750 --> 00:36:34,802 other channels you can produce. 631 00:36:34,802 --> 00:36:37,010 If you talk about it from chiral perturbation theory, 632 00:36:37,010 --> 00:36:40,790 though, we can just calculate pi pi goes to pi pi. 633 00:36:40,790 --> 00:36:46,520 And if you do that, which [? Weinberg ?] did, 634 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,175 then you just get results for these coefficients. 635 00:36:53,708 --> 00:36:55,500 So I'll just quote a couple of them to you. 636 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,470 So you just get parameter-free results, 637 00:37:14,470 --> 00:37:16,220 parameter-free in the sense that they just 638 00:37:16,220 --> 00:37:18,560 involve M pi and this thing f. 639 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,490 This thing f is actually measured by pi on decay, 640 00:37:21,490 --> 00:37:23,390 so it's not an unknown. 641 00:37:23,390 --> 00:37:25,490 And then from that, at lowest order 642 00:37:25,490 --> 00:37:27,260 in chiral perturbation theory, you 643 00:37:27,260 --> 00:37:30,800 have no parameters once you fixed M pi and f pi. 644 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,450 And you can just make predictions 645 00:37:32,450 --> 00:37:35,690 for these scattering lengths, and those are the predictions. 646 00:37:35,690 --> 00:37:44,570 And they're parameter-free in the sense that I just said. 647 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,340 OK, so that gives you some of the idea 648 00:37:49,340 --> 00:37:51,460 of what chiral perturbation theory can do for you. 649 00:37:58,330 --> 00:38:01,968 OK, so let's talk about back to formalism. 650 00:38:01,968 --> 00:38:03,760 There's many more phenomenological examples 651 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,880 you could do, but that's not our focus. 652 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:12,820 Back to formalism and back to this general power 653 00:38:12,820 --> 00:38:25,020 counting discussion, so let's consider an arbitrary diagram 654 00:38:25,020 --> 00:38:27,300 in this theory, this chiral perturbation theory. 655 00:38:32,340 --> 00:38:34,470 And let's enumerate some pieces of that diagram. 656 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,550 So we'll say that it has some number of vertices. 657 00:38:40,550 --> 00:38:42,360 We just count how many times I've 658 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,660 inserted vertices from the Lagrangians, 659 00:38:45,660 --> 00:38:48,360 and I'll call that NV. 660 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,755 Some number of internal lines-- 661 00:38:55,410 --> 00:38:56,420 call NI. 662 00:38:56,420 --> 00:38:58,005 Some number of external lines-- 663 00:39:02,730 --> 00:39:04,350 the external lines are all pions. 664 00:39:08,700 --> 00:39:10,695 That's what our theory is describing. 665 00:39:10,695 --> 00:39:14,920 It could be kaons and etas if we're doing SU(3)-- 666 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,290 and. then some number of loops. 667 00:39:18,890 --> 00:39:22,510 So we have an integer associated with each of these things. 668 00:39:22,510 --> 00:39:24,000 And when I talk about vertices, I 669 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,920 don't want to restrict myself just to the leading order 670 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:26,420 vertices. 671 00:39:26,420 --> 00:39:29,310 I want to talk about also these Li's and higher order 672 00:39:29,310 --> 00:39:31,030 vertices as well. 673 00:39:31,030 --> 00:39:35,190 So let me have a notation for that, where I take this integer 674 00:39:35,190 --> 00:39:37,560 NV, which counts all vertices, and split it 675 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,480 into pieces that count the vertices at each 676 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,600 of those different orders in the expansion in p. 677 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,100 So Nn is the number of vertices that 678 00:39:54,100 --> 00:40:01,195 are order p to the n or M pi to the n or combinations of p 679 00:40:01,195 --> 00:40:07,230 and M pi to the n, but n of them, all right? 680 00:40:07,230 --> 00:40:08,790 So hopefully, that's clear. 681 00:40:08,790 --> 00:40:11,030 So if I have two insertions of the leading order 682 00:40:11,030 --> 00:40:13,580 Lagrangian and one insertion of the sub-leading, 683 00:40:13,580 --> 00:40:16,910 then n sub 0 would be 2. 684 00:40:16,910 --> 00:40:18,710 And N sub 1 would be 1. 685 00:40:18,710 --> 00:40:20,677 And the total would be 3. 686 00:40:20,677 --> 00:40:22,010 That's what this notation means. 687 00:40:40,890 --> 00:40:42,540 So we'll assume we're using a regulator 688 00:40:42,540 --> 00:40:43,830 like dimensional regularization. 689 00:40:43,830 --> 00:40:45,900 So we don't have to worry about the regulator messing up 690 00:40:45,900 --> 00:40:46,525 power counting. 691 00:40:46,525 --> 00:40:48,210 And basically, that means we could 692 00:40:48,210 --> 00:40:52,000 ignore the regulator as far as this discussion is concerned. 693 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:52,860 And we just count. 694 00:40:57,570 --> 00:41:00,462 And effectively, we can just count mass dimension. 695 00:41:05,190 --> 00:41:06,755 So we'll count lambda chi factors. 696 00:41:09,700 --> 00:41:10,950 Let's think about it that way. 697 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:21,450 And we'll think about counting lambda chi factors for a matrix 698 00:41:21,450 --> 00:41:27,255 element that I'll call curly M, which has NE external pions. 699 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,550 So NE lines are poking out of it. 700 00:41:38,740 --> 00:41:42,180 So then if we look at the vertices, 701 00:41:42,180 --> 00:41:45,450 we can count how many factors of lambda chi there is. 702 00:41:45,450 --> 00:41:47,010 And I'm counting all dimensionful 703 00:41:47,010 --> 00:41:49,680 and turning all dimensionful things into lambda chi. 704 00:41:55,320 --> 00:42:02,820 And so each different order in N gets a number of lambda chis 705 00:42:02,820 --> 00:42:05,910 because we even saw that already in the examples 706 00:42:05,910 --> 00:42:08,730 we treated where we got f squared from the leading order. 707 00:42:08,730 --> 00:42:11,250 But from the sub-leading, we got Li. 708 00:42:11,250 --> 00:42:14,110 And that was dimensionless. 709 00:42:14,110 --> 00:42:18,540 So for n equals 2, which is the leading order here, 710 00:42:18,540 --> 00:42:20,200 leading order was p squared. 711 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,840 I said that not quite right a minute ago. 712 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,100 So lowest order is p squared n equals 2. 713 00:42:27,100 --> 00:42:28,020 That's L0. 714 00:42:30,650 --> 00:42:31,880 That had an f squared. 715 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,960 And that comes out, if I just have 4 minus 2, that's 2. 716 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:42,250 n equals 4, that was giving our Li's, which were dimensionless, 717 00:42:42,250 --> 00:42:42,750 OK? 718 00:42:42,750 --> 00:42:44,208 So you can see the formula working. 719 00:42:44,208 --> 00:42:47,440 And if we went to higher orders in the derivative and chiral 720 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,690 expansion, then we'd start getting lambda chis 721 00:42:49,690 --> 00:42:50,975 in the denominator. 722 00:42:53,650 --> 00:42:56,160 So this is just counting from the vertices, which 723 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,900 you should think of as counting just 724 00:42:57,900 --> 00:43:00,660 from the pre-factors in the Lagrangian. 725 00:43:00,660 --> 00:43:13,290 There's also f's that come with the pions 726 00:43:13,290 --> 00:43:18,340 because every factor of the pion field comes with a factor of f. 727 00:43:18,340 --> 00:43:19,980 You always have pi over f. 728 00:43:19,980 --> 00:43:25,200 And I'm turning f into 4 pi f for this discussion. 729 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:26,855 I'm not worrying about the 4 pis. 730 00:43:26,855 --> 00:43:28,230 You could do a more fancy version 731 00:43:28,230 --> 00:43:29,897 of this where you worry about the 4 pis, 732 00:43:29,897 --> 00:43:33,700 but let's just focus on the dimensions. 733 00:43:33,700 --> 00:43:35,890 So if you have an internal line, that's 734 00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,660 a contraction of 2 pion fields. 735 00:43:37,660 --> 00:43:38,640 So that gets 2f's. 736 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,687 And the external line is just 1 pion field, 737 00:43:40,687 --> 00:43:41,520 so that just gets 1. 738 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,910 Topologically, these different things that we enumerated 739 00:43:51,910 --> 00:43:55,186 are not unrelated. 740 00:43:55,186 --> 00:43:57,760 So the order identity tells us that the number 741 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,450 of internal lines is the number of loops 742 00:44:01,450 --> 00:44:04,330 plus the number of vertices minus 1. 743 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,710 And so we use that to get rid of NI. 744 00:44:17,190 --> 00:44:19,230 So then we can just put these things together. 745 00:44:34,395 --> 00:44:38,520 So if I get rid of NI here and I replace it by NL-- 746 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,050 so that's that term-- 747 00:44:40,050 --> 00:44:44,940 I replace it by the sum over the Nn's which are the vertices. 748 00:44:44,940 --> 00:44:47,340 And then this gives me a plus 2. 749 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:52,920 OK. 750 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,295 Now, that's not the dimension of the left-hand side. 751 00:44:56,295 --> 00:44:58,170 That's just the dimension of the ingredients. 752 00:44:58,170 --> 00:45:00,555 There's also things that are coming from factors of M pi 753 00:45:00,555 --> 00:45:02,940 or factors of p. 754 00:45:02,940 --> 00:45:07,170 And let me just call that something, E to the D 755 00:45:07,170 --> 00:45:10,290 where D is just some number, integer, 756 00:45:10,290 --> 00:45:17,420 and then some function of logarithms of p over mu 757 00:45:17,420 --> 00:45:18,480 or M pi over mu. 758 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:24,030 So E could be M pi or p. 759 00:45:24,030 --> 00:45:25,772 And for the purpose of power counting, 760 00:45:25,772 --> 00:45:26,730 I'm not distinguishing. 761 00:45:26,730 --> 00:45:30,840 So let's just call it E just to have a notation that 762 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,290 could be either M pi or p. 763 00:45:34,290 --> 00:45:36,040 And then there's one more thing we can do, 764 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,010 which is we can look at the left-hand side. 765 00:45:38,010 --> 00:45:40,740 And we can say, just by dimensional analysis, 766 00:45:40,740 --> 00:45:43,920 the matrix element, what should be its dimension? 767 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,320 And depending on how many bosons you have sticking out, 768 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,487 your matrix element should have a certain dimension, 769 00:45:48,487 --> 00:45:50,290 which you could figure out. 770 00:45:50,290 --> 00:45:56,190 And that dimension is just 4 minus NE. 771 00:45:59,130 --> 00:46:02,820 Two-point function would scale like p squared, et cetera. 772 00:46:02,820 --> 00:46:06,060 So now, I have different things that are giving mass 773 00:46:06,060 --> 00:46:08,445 dimensions, the lambda chis and the E's. 774 00:46:08,445 --> 00:46:11,430 But because I know what the answer has to be, 4 minus NE, 775 00:46:11,430 --> 00:46:27,280 I can solve for D. 776 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:31,110 And that's what I got. 777 00:46:31,110 --> 00:46:31,800 OK. 778 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,770 So the answer for D, in order to get the dimensions right, 779 00:46:34,770 --> 00:46:36,930 we have to compensate for the number of lambda chis 780 00:46:36,930 --> 00:46:39,690 by factors of M pi and p. 781 00:46:39,690 --> 00:46:42,600 And when we do that, then we need this many of them 782 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,247 in order to get the dimensions right. 783 00:46:45,247 --> 00:46:46,830 So one thing you see from this formula 784 00:46:46,830 --> 00:46:48,782 is that D is greater than or equal to 2. 785 00:46:48,782 --> 00:46:50,490 That's because these things are positive. 786 00:46:50,490 --> 00:46:53,370 The Lagrangian starts with n equals 2 and then goes higher. 787 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:05,740 And when I add either of these terms, I cause suppression, 788 00:47:05,740 --> 00:47:06,790 or I stay the same. 789 00:47:16,820 --> 00:47:17,770 So this could be 0. 790 00:47:17,770 --> 00:47:19,850 This could be 0, or it could be bigger. 791 00:47:19,850 --> 00:47:20,845 But it can be smaller. 792 00:47:27,900 --> 00:47:35,355 So you always get more E's, which 793 00:47:35,355 --> 00:47:39,005 are M pis or p's, by adding vertices or adding loops. 794 00:47:39,005 --> 00:47:41,380 So when you looked at the loop graphs that were built out 795 00:47:41,380 --> 00:47:43,530 of the leading order Lagrangian, those terms 796 00:47:43,530 --> 00:47:45,780 had this be 0 because n was 2. 797 00:47:45,780 --> 00:47:48,780 But then you got suppression because we built loop graphs. 798 00:47:48,780 --> 00:47:50,718 So you got suppression from this term. 799 00:47:50,718 --> 00:47:53,010 And when we looked at the higher dimensional operators, 800 00:47:53,010 --> 00:47:53,820 there was no loop. 801 00:47:53,820 --> 00:47:55,487 So we didn't have this term, but then we 802 00:47:55,487 --> 00:47:57,800 had a contribution from this guy. 803 00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,250 But those were trading off. 804 00:48:04,700 --> 00:48:07,283 So having this is, effectively, part 805 00:48:07,283 --> 00:48:09,950 of what we need in order to make sure the theory is well-defined 806 00:48:09,950 --> 00:48:12,350 because it tells us how to organize the theory 807 00:48:12,350 --> 00:48:15,440 and what parts of the theory we need 808 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,560 to worry about if we want a certain accuracy 809 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,628 and what parts we can ignore. 810 00:48:21,628 --> 00:48:23,420 We need to know that we don't need to think 811 00:48:23,420 --> 00:48:24,740 about two-loop diagrams. 812 00:48:24,740 --> 00:48:28,490 And this tells us that we don't. 813 00:48:28,490 --> 00:48:29,422 Yeah. 814 00:48:29,422 --> 00:48:31,880 AUDIENCE: I didn't understand [? where you ?] [INAUDIBLE].. 815 00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,547 IAIN STEWART: Yeah, let me say it again. 816 00:48:33,547 --> 00:48:38,150 So we figured out the lambda chis by this stuff up here. 817 00:48:38,150 --> 00:48:39,950 Then I said, let there be an arbitrary 818 00:48:39,950 --> 00:48:44,300 E to the D, some parameter which we haven't 819 00:48:44,300 --> 00:48:45,860 figured out anything yet. 820 00:48:45,860 --> 00:48:49,010 But I know by just what possibly this 821 00:48:49,010 --> 00:48:51,840 could depend on that it could also depend on an M pis or pis. 822 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:55,160 So let me put some polynomial power in and then some function 823 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:56,770 that could be non-polynomial. 824 00:48:56,770 --> 00:48:58,437 AUDIENCE: But where would that-- can you 825 00:48:58,437 --> 00:49:00,738 give an example of a calculation where I 826 00:49:00,738 --> 00:49:02,030 would see exactly what that is? 827 00:49:02,030 --> 00:49:02,900 IAIN STEWART: Yeah, so if you did 828 00:49:02,900 --> 00:49:04,820 this loop calculation we did a minute ago, 829 00:49:04,820 --> 00:49:06,530 we got a p to the fourth. 830 00:49:06,530 --> 00:49:07,820 And then D would be 4. 831 00:49:07,820 --> 00:49:10,040 AUDIENCE: And those p's came from where? 832 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,770 IAIN STEWART: Oh, they came from the momentum going-- 833 00:49:13,770 --> 00:49:16,580 so if you looked at this diagram, 834 00:49:16,580 --> 00:49:18,060 there's p coming in here. 835 00:49:18,060 --> 00:49:21,020 And then it goes into the loop, right? 836 00:49:21,020 --> 00:49:22,730 And this is derivatively coupled, 837 00:49:22,730 --> 00:49:24,545 so you get p's in the numerator. 838 00:49:24,545 --> 00:49:27,597 AUDIENCE: But that wasn't taken care of with [INAUDIBLE].. 839 00:49:27,597 --> 00:49:28,430 IAIN STEWART: Right. 840 00:49:28,430 --> 00:49:30,380 Because NV is just counting lambda chis, 841 00:49:30,380 --> 00:49:33,335 which are constants, not the p's. 842 00:49:33,335 --> 00:49:37,088 It's just counting the constants, the f's. 843 00:49:37,088 --> 00:49:37,630 AUDIENCE: OK. 844 00:49:37,630 --> 00:49:38,422 IAIN STEWART: Yeah. 845 00:49:38,422 --> 00:49:39,008 AUDIENCE: OK. 846 00:49:39,008 --> 00:49:39,800 IAIN STEWART: Yeah. 847 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:44,213 And then you equate it to this, and then you get the D. Yeah. 848 00:49:44,213 --> 00:49:45,880 So you could have tried to set things up 849 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,730 by thinking about counting p's instead of counting lambdas. 850 00:49:48,730 --> 00:49:50,470 But it's-- yeah, anyway. 851 00:49:54,950 --> 00:49:58,190 All right, so what people often refer to this 852 00:49:58,190 --> 00:50:16,450 is they say it's p counting because you're 853 00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:18,400 counting momenta. 854 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,820 And that includes p or M pi, but sometimes people 855 00:50:21,820 --> 00:50:24,160 call it p counting. 856 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:29,080 And just to do some examples, when we had the lowest order 857 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:33,760 Lagrangian, this guy comes out as 2 powers of p 858 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:35,421 because there's two derivatives. 859 00:50:38,650 --> 00:50:42,940 And that, in our formula, is just the fact 860 00:50:42,940 --> 00:50:46,150 that D is 2 for that. 861 00:50:46,150 --> 00:50:51,520 When we thought about this loop with leading order Lagrangians, 862 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:56,260 which are scaling like p squared, 863 00:50:56,260 --> 00:50:58,183 we ended up having D equals 4. 864 00:50:58,183 --> 00:51:00,100 And the way that that comes out of the formula 865 00:51:00,100 --> 00:51:03,160 is because of this loop term, which is 1. 866 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,070 And then there's 2 plus 2 is 4. 867 00:51:10,270 --> 00:51:15,478 And this guy is 4 because of the explicit suppression. 868 00:51:21,330 --> 00:51:22,220 OK. 869 00:51:22,220 --> 00:51:25,340 So the theory is organized as an expansion of this p. 870 00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:32,470 All right, so I want to come back 871 00:51:32,470 --> 00:51:35,080 to SU(3) partly because the problem 872 00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,570 that I gave you is in SU(3). 873 00:51:37,570 --> 00:51:41,230 So we'll do some discussion of the SU(3) case. 874 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,510 I'll go into a few things in a little more detail 875 00:51:55,510 --> 00:51:58,570 than we did for SU(2), where we were 876 00:51:58,570 --> 00:52:00,070 focusing on more formal things. 877 00:52:02,670 --> 00:52:06,280 So SU(3) would have gamma matrices instead of the Pauli 878 00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,470 matrices. 879 00:52:08,470 --> 00:52:10,270 There's two bases that you can use. 880 00:52:10,270 --> 00:52:12,100 You can either use this basis, which 881 00:52:12,100 --> 00:52:15,040 is like enumerated 1 to 8, or you 882 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:16,820 could use the charged basis. 883 00:52:16,820 --> 00:52:19,630 And if you use the charge basis-- 884 00:52:19,630 --> 00:52:22,030 and often you write it out as a matrix like this. 885 00:52:28,790 --> 00:52:31,100 On your problem set, you're free to pick which basis 886 00:52:31,100 --> 00:52:31,880 you want to use. 887 00:52:37,220 --> 00:52:39,950 It may be that one or the other is easier, 888 00:52:39,950 --> 00:52:41,962 but I can't even tell you which one is easier 889 00:52:41,962 --> 00:52:42,920 since I don't remember. 890 00:52:46,105 --> 00:52:48,185 So sometimes one or the other is easier to use. 891 00:52:48,185 --> 00:52:50,060 And you have a freedom of what basis to pick. 892 00:52:54,520 --> 00:53:01,960 If you expand, in this case, the trace of sigma Mq dagger 893 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:08,890 plus Mq sigma dagger, which is that term that had a V0, 894 00:53:08,890 --> 00:53:10,870 then that gives mass to the mesons, 895 00:53:10,870 --> 00:53:11,935 as it did for the pions. 896 00:53:18,308 --> 00:53:19,850 Because the symmetry group is bigger, 897 00:53:19,850 --> 00:53:21,700 you get more predictions. 898 00:53:21,700 --> 00:53:25,060 Here, you get predictions for the kaon masses. 899 00:53:25,060 --> 00:53:35,120 And you get things like the fact that the neutral kaons have 900 00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:41,180 massless order Md plus Ms. And you get things 901 00:53:41,180 --> 00:53:46,950 like eta pi 0 mixing, where there's a mixing matrix. 902 00:53:46,950 --> 00:53:49,270 So if you look at the masses of eta and pi 0, 903 00:53:49,270 --> 00:53:51,050 they're actually non-diagonal. 904 00:53:51,050 --> 00:53:52,890 So for the eta in the pi 0 system, 905 00:53:52,890 --> 00:53:54,980 you actually get a matrix. 906 00:53:54,980 --> 00:53:56,315 So M squared is a matrix. 907 00:53:59,430 --> 00:54:03,800 So for example, for the pi 0, it was just M up plus Md. 908 00:54:06,980 --> 00:54:11,060 But then once you're in SU(3), there's actually a mixing term. 909 00:54:11,060 --> 00:54:13,895 And there's like an M up minus M down term here 910 00:54:13,895 --> 00:54:20,220 that is mixing between, and then same thing over here. 911 00:54:20,220 --> 00:54:22,190 So the etas and the pi 0s actually are mixing. 912 00:54:22,190 --> 00:54:25,310 And there's something in this n tree. 913 00:54:25,310 --> 00:54:27,560 And the mixing is isospin violating in the sense 914 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,050 that it's M up minus M down. 915 00:54:29,050 --> 00:54:33,230 So it's a small effect, but this is something 916 00:54:33,230 --> 00:54:36,440 that you can predict from chiral Lagrangian, something 917 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,560 about because is describes isospin violating effects 918 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:40,550 from the quark masses. 919 00:54:46,100 --> 00:54:48,320 So the reason that I mention that is 920 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,810 because, often when you do calculations, keeping 921 00:54:50,810 --> 00:54:53,420 track of Mu's, Md's, and Ms's all 922 00:54:53,420 --> 00:54:56,820 as separate independent parameters is a little much. 923 00:54:56,820 --> 00:54:58,620 And so you want to make an approximation. 924 00:54:58,620 --> 00:55:01,430 And so if you make an approximation that 925 00:55:01,430 --> 00:55:03,110 ignores isospin violation-- 926 00:55:09,090 --> 00:55:15,400 so we often ignore isospin violation. 927 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,680 Isospin violation is very small. 928 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:19,720 And if you remember, for the SU(3) case, 929 00:55:19,720 --> 00:55:23,460 you're expanding in Ms over lambda QCD or Mk 930 00:55:23,460 --> 00:55:24,180 over lambda chi. 931 00:55:24,180 --> 00:55:25,440 So it's not a great expansion. 932 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,840 You have something like a third. 933 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,180 So ignoring isospin is perfectly valid 934 00:55:30,180 --> 00:55:31,820 if you're expanding in a third. 935 00:55:31,820 --> 00:55:33,570 So basically, because there is a hierarchy 936 00:55:33,570 --> 00:55:36,792 between the strange quark mass and the down and the up, 937 00:55:36,792 --> 00:55:39,000 you want to focus on places where you get the largest 938 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:39,570 corrections. 939 00:55:39,570 --> 00:55:41,975 And one way of making an approximation that 940 00:55:41,975 --> 00:55:44,100 allows you to do that is to ignore isospin and take 941 00:55:44,100 --> 00:55:47,400 Mu equal to Md. 942 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:52,200 So if we take Mu at Md to be some M hat-- 943 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,800 which if you want an exact definition, you could say 944 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,185 it's the average. 945 00:55:58,185 --> 00:55:59,868 And you'd drop the difference. 946 00:56:04,350 --> 00:56:06,750 And then you can think of the strange quark mass 947 00:56:06,750 --> 00:56:08,280 as being somewhat bigger than M hat. 948 00:56:14,450 --> 00:56:17,175 That's an approximation that you can use on your problem set, 949 00:56:17,175 --> 00:56:17,675 for example. 950 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,420 So let me write out here with all the terms 951 00:56:26,420 --> 00:56:28,130 in the chiral Lagrangian is. 952 00:56:28,130 --> 00:56:32,120 And I'll do it for a case where we 953 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:37,582 include in our chiral Lagrangian one other type of coupling, 954 00:56:37,582 --> 00:56:39,290 which is this left-handed current that we 955 00:56:39,290 --> 00:56:42,000 talked about last time. 956 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,665 So we talked about a spurion analysis for the chi term. 957 00:56:44,665 --> 00:56:46,040 And I said you could do something 958 00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,160 similar to a couple in a left-handed current. 959 00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:53,120 And we had this, where D mu sigma 960 00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:57,680 was partial mu sigma times the left-handed current sigma. 961 00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,180 So we thought of putting it together 962 00:56:59,180 --> 00:57:00,950 into a coherent derivative. 963 00:57:00,950 --> 00:57:03,650 And if I do that, it modifies the leading order Lagrangian 964 00:57:03,650 --> 00:57:06,465 and just makes these partials into covariant derivatives. 965 00:57:15,250 --> 00:57:19,760 Power counting, for counting purposes, 966 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,250 you count sigmas of order 1. 967 00:57:22,250 --> 00:57:27,320 You count D mu sigma as order p, which means you count 968 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,700 L mu, the source, as order p. 969 00:57:29,700 --> 00:57:31,070 This is a left-handed source. 970 00:57:33,620 --> 00:57:37,513 And you count chis and Mq's as of order p squared. 971 00:57:37,513 --> 00:57:39,430 That's just repeating what we've already said. 972 00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:46,950 And these higher order terms, which where L's, we 973 00:57:46,950 --> 00:57:48,250 can then enumerate. 974 00:57:52,850 --> 00:57:57,650 And I now just use D's, covariant D's 975 00:57:57,650 --> 00:58:00,590 when I write them down. 976 00:58:00,590 --> 00:58:03,200 I'm now in SU(3). 977 00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:06,860 And it turns out that one of the relations that we used in SU(2) 978 00:58:06,860 --> 00:58:08,960 doesn't carry over to SU(3). 979 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:14,930 So if I just think of guys with four covariant derivatives, 980 00:58:14,930 --> 00:58:18,820 it turns out that there's one more operator there. 981 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:27,350 So there's those two, which we talked about, L1 and L2. 982 00:58:27,350 --> 00:58:30,620 And then there's also L3. 983 00:58:30,620 --> 00:58:32,180 So we can't get rid of this guy. 984 00:58:35,540 --> 00:58:37,910 I'm always writing sigmas next to sigma daggers because 985 00:58:37,910 --> 00:58:41,240 of the chiral transformation. 986 00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,967 I'm also imposing parity, though I'm not 987 00:58:43,967 --> 00:58:45,800 going to spend much time talking about that. 988 00:58:49,780 --> 00:58:52,000 And really I want to enumerate, also, for you 989 00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:59,090 some of the terms that involve the quark mass, the chi guy. 990 00:58:59,090 --> 00:59:01,860 So you could have a guy that's a cross-term. 991 00:59:01,860 --> 00:59:06,630 This would take care of the renormalization of things 992 00:59:06,630 --> 00:59:09,320 like p squared and pi squared times 1 of epsilon. 993 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,290 That's L4, L5. 994 00:59:41,610 --> 00:59:44,115 We could also have the quark mass type term just squared. 995 00:59:48,657 --> 00:59:49,990 So take the trace and square it. 996 00:59:49,990 --> 00:59:52,560 That's L6. 997 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:54,570 It turns out that we could also build something 998 00:59:54,570 --> 00:59:56,880 with the right parity by just having the difference instead 999 00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:57,380 of the sum. 1000 00:59:57,380 --> 00:59:58,918 And that's a different operator. 1001 01:00:05,610 --> 01:00:06,585 So that's L7. 1002 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:11,190 We're going to go up to 9. 1003 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,398 Don't be afraid. 1004 01:00:18,398 --> 01:00:20,190 You can have something with 2 sigma daggers 1005 01:00:20,190 --> 01:00:25,440 and 2 chis, which is another way of building a chiral invariant. 1006 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:30,190 And then for parity, you need the other way. 1007 01:00:30,190 --> 01:00:33,510 And then finally-- something called 1008 01:00:33,510 --> 01:00:39,030 L9, which involves a trace that involves 1009 01:00:39,030 --> 01:00:43,042 L mu nu, where L mu nu is built out of this external current. 1010 01:00:43,042 --> 01:00:45,000 So we can take two of our covariant derivatives 1011 01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:46,477 and take a commutator. 1012 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:53,826 That's giving the final operator. 1013 01:01:10,850 --> 01:01:16,190 So there's a complete basis for SU(3) for a left-handed current 1014 01:01:16,190 --> 01:01:17,428 in the chi. 1015 01:01:17,428 --> 01:01:19,220 AUDIENCE: [? So does ?] [? L mu ?] [? nu ?] 1016 01:01:19,220 --> 01:01:20,018 [? have a field ?] [INAUDIBLE] [? associated with ?] 1017 01:01:20,018 --> 01:01:20,180 [INAUDIBLE]? 1018 01:01:20,180 --> 01:01:21,200 IAIN STEWART: Yeah, I'll write it down. 1019 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:21,742 AUDIENCE: Oh. 1020 01:01:45,698 --> 01:01:47,240 IAIN STEWART: So if L mu is something 1021 01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:50,690 that has SU(3) indices, has an SU(3) matrix hiding inside it, 1022 01:01:50,690 --> 01:01:53,660 then there's a commutator term as well. 1023 01:01:53,660 --> 01:01:57,590 And then it's just this combination. 1024 01:01:57,590 --> 01:02:00,998 I also use the equation of motion. 1025 01:02:00,998 --> 01:02:03,540 And I didn't talk about it, but I use the equation of motion. 1026 01:02:03,540 --> 01:02:05,370 And I used SU(3) relations. 1027 01:02:05,370 --> 01:02:06,950 Much as I talked about for SU(2), 1028 01:02:06,950 --> 01:02:09,448 there's some SU(3) relations that survive. 1029 01:02:09,448 --> 01:02:11,240 And I got rid of some operators doing that. 1030 01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,620 Now, you could say, well, I have this SU(3) and SU(2), 1031 01:02:19,620 --> 01:02:21,990 so why don't I try to relate them? 1032 01:02:21,990 --> 01:02:23,340 One of them has a kaon. 1033 01:02:23,340 --> 01:02:24,420 The other one doesn't. 1034 01:02:24,420 --> 01:02:27,000 The one without the kaon thinks about the kaon 1035 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:28,298 as a heavy particle. 1036 01:02:28,298 --> 01:02:30,090 The one with the kaon thinks about the kaon 1037 01:02:30,090 --> 01:02:31,530 as a light particle. 1038 01:02:31,530 --> 01:02:32,520 Those are two theories. 1039 01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,820 I could try to make them match up with each other. 1040 01:02:35,820 --> 01:02:37,890 And that's something that you can do, actually. 1041 01:02:41,860 --> 01:02:48,300 So there's a little bit of a lesson there. 1042 01:02:48,300 --> 01:02:50,220 So that was why I want to mention it. 1043 01:02:56,790 --> 01:02:58,540 So SU(2) and SU(3) seem like they're 1044 01:02:58,540 --> 01:02:59,690 describing similar physics. 1045 01:02:59,690 --> 01:03:01,560 They both could describe pions. 1046 01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,130 They both have pions in them. 1047 01:03:03,130 --> 01:03:04,090 But the SU(3) has more. 1048 01:03:04,090 --> 01:03:05,770 It's got the kaon. 1049 01:03:05,770 --> 01:03:08,500 That means that, in the SU(2) theory, 1050 01:03:08,500 --> 01:03:13,540 the kaon is in the coefficients, OK? 1051 01:03:13,540 --> 01:03:16,090 So if you do a correspondence, you 1052 01:03:16,090 --> 01:03:18,650 get relations that are like this. 1053 01:03:18,650 --> 01:03:20,260 So the 2 here means SU(2). 1054 01:03:25,380 --> 01:03:28,180 And where I don't put any subscript, it's SU(3). 1055 01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:35,410 And something that-- this is a 96. 1056 01:03:44,140 --> 01:03:48,010 And if you really do that, what I said, compare observables, 1057 01:03:48,010 --> 01:03:50,710 you get relations like this one where you actually 1058 01:03:50,710 --> 01:03:54,190 see the kaon is showing up on this side 1059 01:03:54,190 --> 01:03:56,470 and is being encoded in coefficients in the SU(2) 1060 01:03:56,470 --> 01:03:58,190 theory. 1061 01:03:58,190 --> 01:03:59,868 So what you think of as the coefficients 1062 01:03:59,868 --> 01:04:01,660 in your chiral theory depends on the matter 1063 01:04:01,660 --> 01:04:03,783 that you've put in, including things 1064 01:04:03,783 --> 01:04:05,950 like what particles like the kaon, what group you're 1065 01:04:05,950 --> 01:04:06,640 talking about. 1066 01:04:09,500 --> 01:04:18,680 This is an explicit example of the kaon being the coefficients 1067 01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,890 if we use SU(2). 1068 01:04:25,690 --> 01:04:31,510 OK, so just like in SU(2), we have to go through 1069 01:04:31,510 --> 01:04:34,420 a renormalization of the Li's. 1070 01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,890 And you can think of that by writing a formula 1071 01:04:41,890 --> 01:04:42,520 like this one. 1072 01:04:45,410 --> 01:04:47,690 Bare Li is equal to some renormalized one, 1073 01:04:47,690 --> 01:04:51,800 which I put a bar on top of and then a counter-term. 1074 01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,850 And the counter-term will be some coefficient, 1075 01:04:55,850 --> 01:05:01,760 some number of 4 pis, and then some epsilons. 1076 01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:05,570 And just like in gauge theory, we 1077 01:05:05,570 --> 01:05:09,070 get rid of the Euler gamma and the log 4 pi. 1078 01:05:09,070 --> 01:05:11,330 We have an Ms bar type definition. 1079 01:05:11,330 --> 01:05:13,790 And in chiral perturbation theory, 1080 01:05:13,790 --> 01:05:19,010 people often take an extra 1 along with the ride 1081 01:05:19,010 --> 01:05:21,510 just because they're allowed to. 1082 01:05:21,510 --> 01:05:23,510 Because it tends to show up in the kind of loops 1083 01:05:23,510 --> 01:05:24,530 that you encounter. 1084 01:05:24,530 --> 01:05:28,940 So sometimes that's included, sometimes it's not. 1085 01:05:28,940 --> 01:05:35,780 So for example, as an example of a diagram, 1086 01:05:35,780 --> 01:05:38,060 you could think about this one. 1087 01:05:38,060 --> 01:05:42,022 And that does cause mass renormalization 1088 01:05:42,022 --> 01:05:42,980 for the physical boson. 1089 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,120 So if you think about our lowest order relation 1090 01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:57,570 as where we started, let me write that as M0 squared is 1091 01:05:57,570 --> 01:06:04,320 4V0 over f squared Mu plus Md. 1092 01:06:07,950 --> 01:06:10,060 Sometimes people call this-- 1093 01:06:10,060 --> 01:06:18,330 well, making up some more notation, 1094 01:06:18,330 --> 01:06:21,758 yeah, which I'll use in a minute. 1095 01:06:21,758 --> 01:06:23,550 And so if you actually calculate this loop, 1096 01:06:23,550 --> 01:06:25,300 then you get a correction to that formula. 1097 01:06:25,300 --> 01:06:29,820 This would have be M pi squared, but here we get a correction. 1098 01:06:29,820 --> 01:06:34,500 If you did it in SU(2), just to keep 1099 01:06:34,500 --> 01:06:38,760 the formula a little simpler, then it would look like this. 1100 01:06:43,270 --> 01:06:46,710 So M0 is like the pi n mass, but the pi n mass at lowest order 1101 01:06:46,710 --> 01:06:47,952 in the chiral expansion. 1102 01:06:47,952 --> 01:06:49,410 So it's not the physical pi n mass. 1103 01:06:52,320 --> 01:07:01,110 So 2L 4 bar in theory two with two flavors with two SU(2) plus 1104 01:07:01,110 --> 01:07:04,770 an L5 bar minus 4 n L6 bar-- 1105 01:07:04,770 --> 01:07:06,570 so these various coefficients are coming in 1106 01:07:06,570 --> 01:07:10,883 with some numbers in front, some combination of them. 1107 01:07:10,883 --> 01:07:12,300 And then there's some contribution 1108 01:07:12,300 --> 01:07:13,870 from a chiral loop. 1109 01:07:13,870 --> 01:07:19,600 And if I take away that 1, it's just a chiral logarithm. 1110 01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:28,470 So this is 4 pi f squared log M0 squared over mu squared. 1111 01:07:31,890 --> 01:07:35,190 There would be an extra term of just plus 1 times this 1112 01:07:35,190 --> 01:07:38,580 if I hadn't gotten rid of that, the minus 1 times that, OK? 1113 01:07:38,580 --> 01:07:39,720 So this is from the loop. 1114 01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:43,500 This is from the explicit dimension operators 1115 01:07:43,500 --> 01:07:46,200 that were of the higher dimension, some combination 1116 01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:47,700 of them. 1117 01:07:47,700 --> 01:07:51,230 The UV divergence is absorbed in some combination of them. 1118 01:07:51,230 --> 01:07:53,750 And if you want to figure out exactly how UV divergences go 1119 01:07:53,750 --> 01:07:56,430 in between this, then you've got to think of renormalizing 1120 01:07:56,430 --> 01:07:59,470 more than just this diagram. 1121 01:07:59,470 --> 01:08:02,310 And you can generically think of observables 1122 01:08:02,310 --> 01:08:07,090 as having this kind of expansion in Mu and Md. 1123 01:08:07,090 --> 01:08:10,440 So if you like, you should think of M0 here as really just an up 1124 01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:11,462 plus M down. 1125 01:08:11,462 --> 01:08:13,920 This is saying, at lowest order chiral perturbation theory, 1126 01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:15,720 there's a linear term. 1127 01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:19,439 But then here there's an M0 to the fourth term, which is 1128 01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:21,750 quadratic in the quark masses. 1129 01:08:21,750 --> 01:08:24,779 And there's also a quadratic term from the loops. 1130 01:08:24,779 --> 01:08:27,660 So you have an expansion in the quark masses. 1131 01:08:27,660 --> 01:08:32,880 Think of M0 as the quark masses and M pi as the meson mass. 1132 01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:34,859 I just gave you the example of the pion mass, 1133 01:08:34,859 --> 01:08:38,910 but this is generically true for observables 1134 01:08:38,910 --> 01:08:42,210 that you might calculate that they have this type of result 1135 01:08:42,210 --> 01:08:44,218 where you have an expansion. 1136 01:08:44,218 --> 01:08:47,880 AUDIENCE: Is there any physical reason for why this mass square 1137 01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:52,390 of the meson space [? would ?] [? be ?] [INAUDIBLE]?? 1138 01:08:52,390 --> 01:08:54,859 IAIN STEWART: So one way of saying it is-- 1139 01:08:54,859 --> 01:08:55,359 yeah. 1140 01:08:55,359 --> 01:08:59,189 So you might think, well, why is it not M pi equals Mu and Md? 1141 01:08:59,189 --> 01:09:00,910 And the glib way of saying it is, well, 1142 01:09:00,910 --> 01:09:02,535 if you think about M pi squared and you 1143 01:09:02,535 --> 01:09:04,450 think about it having an expansion, 1144 01:09:04,450 --> 01:09:06,990 then it could have a constant plus linear term 1145 01:09:06,990 --> 01:09:08,117 plus quadratic term. 1146 01:09:08,117 --> 01:09:10,575 You don't have the constant because of the chiral symmetry. 1147 01:09:10,575 --> 01:09:14,069 So the linear term is the first thing that's allowed. 1148 01:09:14,069 --> 01:09:16,939 That's one way of saying it. 1149 01:09:16,939 --> 01:09:19,380 I mean, if you think about it in the bosonic theory, 1150 01:09:19,380 --> 01:09:23,100 we have the Lagrangian is quadratic in masses, 1151 01:09:23,100 --> 01:09:25,047 right, whereas in the fermionic theory, 1152 01:09:25,047 --> 01:09:26,130 you have linear in masses. 1153 01:09:26,130 --> 01:09:29,670 And that's also part of what it had to do with, 1154 01:09:29,670 --> 01:09:33,330 but it's linear combination of symmetry breaking and that. 1155 01:09:37,779 --> 01:09:41,680 It's allowed, so it happens is kind of the bottom line. 1156 01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:43,628 But it's allowed by the symmetries. 1157 01:09:47,319 --> 01:09:47,819 OK. 1158 01:09:47,819 --> 01:09:50,611 And so finally, this is the example I'm actually 1159 01:09:50,611 --> 01:09:51,569 going to get you to do. 1160 01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:58,410 So I'll have you look on the problem set at the k constants. 1161 01:09:58,410 --> 01:10:01,270 And they have an analogous result to that one. 1162 01:10:01,270 --> 01:10:04,470 You'll do the calculation in SU(3). 1163 01:10:04,470 --> 01:10:07,860 And the kind of result that you should expect to get 1164 01:10:07,860 --> 01:10:09,450 is something that looks like this. 1165 01:10:22,340 --> 01:10:24,250 So I'm using this B0 notation that I 1166 01:10:24,250 --> 01:10:28,900 introduced over there just so I could write it all on one line. 1167 01:10:33,170 --> 01:10:36,410 And these mus with the subscript i 1168 01:10:36,410 --> 01:10:39,110 are just some shorthand for some contributions 1169 01:10:39,110 --> 01:10:39,920 coming from loops. 1170 01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:57,800 And f is the result in L0. 1171 01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:06,940 So f is the parameter in L0, whereas f pi 1172 01:11:06,940 --> 01:11:10,360 is the physical decay constant of the pion. 1173 01:11:16,830 --> 01:11:21,240 So one result which is encoded in this formula 1174 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:23,160 is that the Lagrangian parameter is actually 1175 01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,200 equal to the decay constant at lowest order 1176 01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:25,950 in chiral perturbation theory. 1177 01:11:25,950 --> 01:11:27,460 That's something I didn't cover. 1178 01:11:27,460 --> 01:11:29,810 I cover it when I teach quantum field theory three. 1179 01:11:29,810 --> 01:11:32,880 You can look at my notes to see that derivation. 1180 01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:36,640 Those of you that have taken QFT3 from me, 1181 01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:37,902 you've already seen that. 1182 01:11:37,902 --> 01:11:40,110 And basically, what I'm asking for in the problem set 1183 01:11:40,110 --> 01:11:41,820 is I guide you with several parts, 1184 01:11:41,820 --> 01:11:45,067 but how to think about these higher order terms. 1185 01:11:45,067 --> 01:11:46,650 What are the loop graph contributions? 1186 01:11:46,650 --> 01:11:49,890 How do you get these terms from the higher order Lagrangians? 1187 01:11:49,890 --> 01:11:51,870 How you put it all together? 1188 01:11:51,870 --> 01:11:55,950 It's a nice example of this use of chiral perturbation theory. 1189 01:11:55,950 --> 01:11:57,840 And again, we see that a physical observable, 1190 01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:00,660 which is this decay constant, has a chiral expansion. 1191 01:12:00,660 --> 01:12:03,330 And the thing that chiral perturbation theory is actually 1192 01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,720 doing is allowing you to predict both the form 1193 01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,390 of that expansion, as well as these things here, which 1194 01:12:09,390 --> 01:12:12,450 are chiral logarithms. 1195 01:12:12,450 --> 01:12:16,270 So if you ask about predictive power, the polynomial terms 1196 01:12:16,270 --> 01:12:18,450 in terms of higher order in the quark masses 1197 01:12:18,450 --> 01:12:21,630 that are polynomial, you end up having unknown coefficients. 1198 01:12:21,630 --> 01:12:23,550 But the terms with logarithms have 1199 01:12:23,550 --> 01:12:26,670 coefficients which are fixed by your lower order Lagrangian. 1200 01:12:26,670 --> 01:12:28,170 So those are things that you predict 1201 01:12:28,170 --> 01:12:31,800 with the chiral perturbation theory. 1202 01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:33,360 When people do lattice calculations, 1203 01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:34,950 they need to do chiral extrapolations. 1204 01:12:34,950 --> 01:12:36,867 And then they're using formulas like this one. 1205 01:12:40,140 --> 01:12:43,384 OK, so any questions about that? 1206 01:12:43,384 --> 01:12:45,283 AUDIENCE: Did the M pi [INAUDIBLE]?? 1207 01:12:45,283 --> 01:12:46,700 IAIN STEWART: Yeah, physical mass. 1208 01:12:46,700 --> 01:12:47,870 This is the physical mass. 1209 01:12:47,870 --> 01:12:49,670 This is the quark masses. 1210 01:12:49,670 --> 01:12:54,610 M0 is just this combination with M up and M down. 1211 01:12:54,610 --> 01:12:56,690 AUDIENCE: So the mu dependence cancel between-- 1212 01:12:56,690 --> 01:12:58,148 IAIN STEWART: And the mu dependence 1213 01:12:58,148 --> 01:13:01,040 cancels because these guys all depend on mu. 1214 01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:03,230 Yeah. 1215 01:13:03,230 --> 01:13:06,600 And same thing here, these guys depend on mu. 1216 01:13:09,668 --> 01:13:12,190 Here, I have just enough room to make that explicit. 1217 01:13:15,440 --> 01:13:17,828 OK, so that actually covers all the goals 1218 01:13:17,828 --> 01:13:19,620 that we had for chiral perturbation theory, 1219 01:13:19,620 --> 01:13:21,410 though it's a fun topic. 1220 01:13:21,410 --> 01:13:23,870 And there's many more things we could discuss, 1221 01:13:23,870 --> 01:13:27,420 but that's what we needed to discuss. 1222 01:13:27,420 --> 01:13:30,000 And so we're going to move on. 1223 01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:31,920 So the next thing I want to talk about 1224 01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:33,920 as an example of effective field theory is heavy 1225 01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:34,970 quark effective theory. 1226 01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,580 So again, what are our goals with this effective theory? 1227 01:13:58,730 --> 01:14:00,500 We will see some new features showing up 1228 01:14:00,500 --> 01:14:01,667 that we haven't seen before. 1229 01:14:06,887 --> 01:14:09,220 We will find out what it means to take a Lagrangian that 1230 01:14:09,220 --> 01:14:10,280 has labeled fields. 1231 01:14:16,315 --> 01:14:18,190 We'll spend a little bit of time on symmetry. 1232 01:14:18,190 --> 01:14:21,465 Because in this heavy quark effective theory, 1233 01:14:21,465 --> 01:14:23,840 there's actually something called heavy quark's symmetry, 1234 01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:26,140 which is not apparent in QCD, but becomes apparent 1235 01:14:26,140 --> 01:14:29,110 in this theory. 1236 01:14:29,110 --> 01:14:35,590 And there's a trick known as using covariate representations 1237 01:14:35,590 --> 01:14:37,900 in order to encode symmetry predictions. 1238 01:14:37,900 --> 01:14:40,000 And it's a very powerful thing that's 1239 01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,750 not special to this theory, but you could use it in general. 1240 01:14:42,750 --> 01:14:44,000 And I want to teach it to you. 1241 01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:45,208 So that's one thing we'll do. 1242 01:14:52,558 --> 01:14:54,100 It's kind of like a spurion analysis, 1243 01:14:54,100 --> 01:14:59,050 but a little bit more powerful. 1244 01:14:59,050 --> 01:15:03,190 And finally, anomalous dimensions that are functions 1245 01:15:03,190 --> 01:15:09,790 is something that we'll show up here, not just numbers. 1246 01:15:09,790 --> 01:15:20,180 There's something called reparameterization invariance, 1247 01:15:20,180 --> 01:15:25,490 which you can think of a kind of symmetry that we'll talk about. 1248 01:15:25,490 --> 01:15:31,180 And finally, if that list is not long enough, 1249 01:15:31,180 --> 01:15:36,820 we'll add one more thing which I hinted at. 1250 01:15:36,820 --> 01:15:40,090 So I said, when we talked about Ms bar, 1251 01:15:40,090 --> 01:15:42,387 that it wasn't a perfect scheme for doing things, 1252 01:15:42,387 --> 01:15:43,720 but there were some limitations. 1253 01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:45,512 And we'll come, at the end of this chapter, 1254 01:15:45,512 --> 01:15:47,080 to what those limitations are. 1255 01:15:54,140 --> 01:15:58,310 The limitations come from power-like scale separation. 1256 01:15:58,310 --> 01:16:02,210 And that's related to something called renormalons. 1257 01:16:02,210 --> 01:16:05,030 So we'll learn what a renormalon is 1258 01:16:05,030 --> 01:16:07,640 and why it has something to do with the failure of Ms bar 1259 01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,893 and how one can get around that failure 1260 01:16:10,893 --> 01:16:12,560 and how one actually needs to get around 1261 01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:15,000 that failure in some cases. 1262 01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,840 OK, so that's the list of goals. 1263 01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:22,220 It's kind of, in some ways, in order of importance, actually. 1264 01:16:24,750 --> 01:16:27,000 So when we think about heavy quark effective theory, 1265 01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:29,137 you shouldn't think about it as just something 1266 01:16:29,137 --> 01:16:31,470 that you would need to do if you wanted to do heavy work 1267 01:16:31,470 --> 01:16:34,200 physics because the idea of what we're doing here 1268 01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:35,915 is much more general than that. 1269 01:16:35,915 --> 01:16:37,290 The idea of what we're doing here 1270 01:16:37,290 --> 01:16:39,990 is we're saying, take a heavy particle 1271 01:16:39,990 --> 01:16:43,770 and think about what happens if I tickle it. 1272 01:16:43,770 --> 01:16:49,120 And that heavy particle could be a heavy source to some theory. 1273 01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:51,120 We'll talk about it in the context of them being 1274 01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:52,578 heavy quarks, but you should really 1275 01:16:52,578 --> 01:16:56,100 think of it as any heavy particle tickled 1276 01:16:56,100 --> 01:16:57,060 by light particles. 1277 01:17:15,010 --> 01:17:18,370 And what we really mean is that we want 1278 01:17:18,370 --> 01:17:21,037 to study the heavy particle. 1279 01:17:21,037 --> 01:17:22,870 And since we want to study it, we better not 1280 01:17:22,870 --> 01:17:23,980 remove it from the theory. 1281 01:17:27,532 --> 01:17:29,740 So we want to tickle it with light degrees of freedom 1282 01:17:29,740 --> 01:17:32,830 with small momentum transfer, but we don't want 1283 01:17:32,830 --> 01:17:35,578 to integrate that particle out. 1284 01:17:35,578 --> 01:17:37,120 So another way of saying this, if you 1285 01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:39,037 don't want to think of it as a heavy particle, 1286 01:17:39,037 --> 01:17:40,810 is that you have some source. 1287 01:17:40,810 --> 01:17:45,550 And that source can be tickled and could wiggle, 1288 01:17:45,550 --> 01:17:47,718 but it's sort of mostly just a static source. 1289 01:17:47,718 --> 01:17:48,760 And then it could wiggle. 1290 01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,663 And that's what this is an effective field theory for. 1291 01:17:51,663 --> 01:17:53,830 So we'll talk about it in the context of heavy quark 1292 01:17:53,830 --> 01:17:54,460 effective theory. 1293 01:17:54,460 --> 01:17:56,543 And some of the things, like heavy quark symmetry, 1294 01:17:56,543 --> 01:17:57,892 will be special to that theory. 1295 01:17:57,892 --> 01:18:00,100 But more generally, the kind of approach we're taking 1296 01:18:00,100 --> 01:18:01,100 is a more general thing. 1297 01:18:04,330 --> 01:18:07,270 So what's heavy quark effective theory? 1298 01:18:07,270 --> 01:18:08,837 So you have a heavy quark. 1299 01:18:08,837 --> 01:18:11,295 And you have it sitting in a bound state, which is a meson. 1300 01:18:14,770 --> 01:18:18,070 So that means it's surrounded by light degrees of freedom, 1301 01:18:18,070 --> 01:18:21,520 one heavy quark, lots of light junk. 1302 01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:24,430 In the quark model, you'd say it's a Q bar q, heavy cork 1303 01:18:24,430 --> 01:18:31,270 capital Q and a light cork little q, like b bar d, 1304 01:18:31,270 --> 01:18:33,490 which is the B0. 1305 01:18:33,490 --> 01:18:36,850 But that's just a quark model approximation 1306 01:18:36,850 --> 01:18:38,470 for what the degrees of freedom are. 1307 01:18:38,470 --> 01:18:41,137 And there's many more pairs of Qq bars and gluons 1308 01:18:41,137 --> 01:18:42,970 that are really forming this hydronic state. 1309 01:18:45,547 --> 01:18:48,130 So you'd like to be able to make model independent predictions 1310 01:18:48,130 --> 01:18:51,370 for that without having to worry about the fact 1311 01:18:51,370 --> 01:18:54,790 that you're not parameterizing properly that stuff 1312 01:18:54,790 --> 01:18:55,990 that you can't calculate. 1313 01:18:55,990 --> 01:19:00,140 And you can do that using effective field theory. 1314 01:19:00,140 --> 01:19:01,820 There's two scales in the problem. 1315 01:19:01,820 --> 01:19:04,540 There's the size of this thing, the inverse size 1316 01:19:04,540 --> 01:19:05,650 of order lambda QCD. 1317 01:19:05,650 --> 01:19:09,317 That's the hadronization that scale. 1318 01:19:09,317 --> 01:19:11,650 And that's a scale that's much less than the quark mass. 1319 01:19:11,650 --> 01:19:14,190 So you're really just expanding in lambda QCD divided by Mq. 1320 01:19:14,190 --> 01:19:15,940 That's what this effective theory will be. 1321 01:19:21,610 --> 01:19:27,250 And what you want to describe are 1322 01:19:27,250 --> 01:19:31,882 fluctuations of the heavy quark due to the light quarks. 1323 01:19:31,882 --> 01:19:33,340 So you could think that this guy is 1324 01:19:33,340 --> 01:19:36,550 so heavy he just sits in the middle of the state, 1325 01:19:36,550 --> 01:19:39,087 and he's static. 1326 01:19:39,087 --> 01:19:41,170 And then he gets tickled by the light stuff that's 1327 01:19:41,170 --> 01:19:42,295 flying and whizzing around. 1328 01:19:42,295 --> 01:19:43,660 And that's a reasonable picture. 1329 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:48,760 So what we really want to do here 1330 01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:52,090 is an example of top-down effective field theory again. 1331 01:19:52,090 --> 01:19:58,210 So going back to our like integrating out 1332 01:19:58,210 --> 01:20:02,860 heavy particles, but now we want to keep the heavy particles 1333 01:20:02,860 --> 01:20:04,540 in the theory, not remove them. 1334 01:20:04,540 --> 01:20:06,790 But still, we want to take a low energy limit of them. 1335 01:20:09,710 --> 01:20:14,050 So that means that we have to take a low energy limit of QCD, 1336 01:20:14,050 --> 01:20:19,438 which is id slash minus Mq Q. And you 1337 01:20:19,438 --> 01:20:20,980 can see that part of the problem here 1338 01:20:20,980 --> 01:20:23,560 is that the Mq is upstairs, which 1339 01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:26,530 makes taking the limit not completely obvious. 1340 01:20:26,530 --> 01:20:28,810 In the case where we were doing the heavy bosons, 1341 01:20:28,810 --> 01:20:30,892 we sort of saw that it was always in propagators. 1342 01:20:30,892 --> 01:20:33,100 And we could just think of, since it's always they're 1343 01:20:33,100 --> 01:20:35,500 internal, we just expand. 1344 01:20:35,500 --> 01:20:37,640 Here, we want to keep the Q in the theory. 1345 01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:41,930 So we have to really think about how we take this limit. 1346 01:20:41,930 --> 01:20:48,490 So let's start slowly and consider the propagator 1347 01:20:48,490 --> 01:20:50,987 for a heavy quark. 1348 01:20:50,987 --> 01:20:52,570 And we'll come back to the Lagrangian. 1349 01:20:56,890 --> 01:21:06,990 And we'll consider it with some on-shell momentum, which we'll 1350 01:21:06,990 --> 01:21:09,570 consider an on-shell momentum to be parameterized 1351 01:21:09,570 --> 01:21:11,560 in the following way. 1352 01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:13,200 So if I have an on-shell momentum, 1353 01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:17,640 I'll say that p is equal to MqV, so that p squared is 1354 01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:23,310 equal to Mq squared and this V is 1. 1355 01:21:23,310 --> 01:21:25,590 So once I pull out the mass dimension Mq, 1356 01:21:25,590 --> 01:21:28,440 the remaining thing I call V. And that's just some parameter 1357 01:21:28,440 --> 01:21:32,850 which squares to 1 on-shell. 1358 01:21:32,850 --> 01:21:36,990 Now, if I have kicks, which are from light degrees of freedom, 1359 01:21:36,990 --> 01:21:39,780 then I don't have exactly on-shell. 1360 01:21:39,780 --> 01:21:45,240 So P mu is MqV, which is like on-shell piece plus something 1361 01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:48,480 small, k mu. 1362 01:21:48,480 --> 01:21:52,620 And k mu is of order lambda QCD. 1363 01:21:52,620 --> 01:21:56,280 So this is like saying the on-shell piece plus the tickle. 1364 01:22:01,380 --> 01:22:03,240 And if I want to construct the propagator, 1365 01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:09,120 then the propagator is encoding the optional off-shellness 1366 01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:10,740 of the degree of freedom. 1367 01:22:10,740 --> 01:22:13,510 That's 1 over the off-shellness. 1368 01:22:13,510 --> 01:22:14,760 So it'll depend on the tickle. 1369 01:22:24,710 --> 01:22:33,200 OK, so we could just take QCD propagator, which is this, 1370 01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:34,530 and just plug in that formula. 1371 01:22:50,100 --> 01:22:52,920 There's Mq squared, which cancels this Mq squared. 1372 01:22:56,900 --> 01:23:00,650 Then there's some cross-terms that don't get cancelled. 1373 01:23:00,650 --> 01:23:04,760 So there's one that comes from the dot product of the V dot M 1374 01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:05,540 with the k term. 1375 01:23:05,540 --> 01:23:06,050 That's this. 1376 01:23:06,050 --> 01:23:07,550 And then there's the k squared term. 1377 01:23:07,550 --> 01:23:10,130 So I have these. 1378 01:23:10,130 --> 01:23:11,420 And then I can expand that. 1379 01:23:19,700 --> 01:23:22,310 M is a positive quantity, so it doesn't 1380 01:23:22,310 --> 01:23:25,070 change the sign of the i0. 1381 01:23:25,070 --> 01:23:27,650 And if I expand in M, then the leading term looks like that. 1382 01:23:27,650 --> 01:23:30,350 It's M independent. 1383 01:23:30,350 --> 01:23:32,750 And then there's some order 1 over M terms, which I could 1384 01:23:32,750 --> 01:23:33,917 also work out what they are. 1385 01:23:38,150 --> 01:23:40,610 OK, so that we could expand even though we don't, a priori, 1386 01:23:40,610 --> 01:23:42,426 know how to expand the Lagrangian. 1387 01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:48,562 We could also think about vertices in this theory. 1388 01:23:48,562 --> 01:23:49,520 This is the propagator. 1389 01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:51,380 What about vertices? 1390 01:23:51,380 --> 01:23:53,090 And again, this is a top-down. 1391 01:23:53,090 --> 01:23:55,820 So we can think about vertices in QCD. 1392 01:23:55,820 --> 01:23:58,340 So if this is a heavy particle here, 1393 01:23:58,340 --> 01:24:00,890 we could think about what would happen. 1394 01:24:00,890 --> 01:24:02,000 How do we expand those? 1395 01:24:06,460 --> 01:24:08,210 And there doesn't look like there's really 1396 01:24:08,210 --> 01:24:11,390 anything going on here because there's nothing to expand. 1397 01:24:11,390 --> 01:24:14,540 But because these things are heavy particles here, 1398 01:24:14,540 --> 01:24:17,870 you realize from the propagator formula 1399 01:24:17,870 --> 01:24:20,090 here that you're going to have 1 plus V slashes 1400 01:24:20,090 --> 01:24:23,670 on each side of this guy. 1401 01:24:23,670 --> 01:24:26,880 So for a propagator on each side, 1402 01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:28,807 you can make a simplification. 1403 01:24:35,350 --> 01:24:38,740 And that's because 1 plus V slash over 2 gamma 1404 01:24:38,740 --> 01:24:44,110 mu 1 plus V slash over 2, after some Dirac algebra, 1405 01:24:44,110 --> 01:24:48,850 is just V mu times 1 plus V slash over 2. 1406 01:24:51,610 --> 01:24:54,460 So the gamma mu becomes a V mu. 1407 01:24:54,460 --> 01:24:58,520 So the vertice, once you take that into account, 1408 01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:01,840 is just minus igTA V mu. 1409 01:25:06,700 --> 01:25:08,980 Even if we don't think about starting with the QCD 1410 01:25:08,980 --> 01:25:10,690 Lagrangian, if this is our Feynman rule 1411 01:25:10,690 --> 01:25:12,850 and that's our propagator, we can write down 1412 01:25:12,850 --> 01:25:18,820 an effective theory for that that gives those Feynman rules. 1413 01:25:18,820 --> 01:25:21,377 And that actually is the HQET Lagrangian. 1414 01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:37,360 So sorry for going a little bit over, 1415 01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:40,930 but I wanted to at least get a little bit into this. 1416 01:25:40,930 --> 01:25:43,990 OK, so by construction this way, we 1417 01:25:43,990 --> 01:25:45,947 can arrive at this Lagrangian. 1418 01:25:45,947 --> 01:25:47,530 And next time, I'll come back and I'll 1419 01:25:47,530 --> 01:25:49,660 show you how you can really properly 1420 01:25:49,660 --> 01:25:52,300 take this limit of the QCD Lagrangian 1421 01:25:52,300 --> 01:25:55,010 to get the same thing. 1422 01:25:55,010 --> 01:25:56,710 OK, but that is the HQET. 1423 01:25:56,710 --> 01:25:59,170 The lowest order of the HQET Lagrangian is this. 1424 01:26:02,810 --> 01:26:05,120 So it's a linear V dot D decoupling. 1425 01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:07,403 V is a parameter, and so I've put it 1426 01:26:07,403 --> 01:26:08,570 as a parameter on the field. 1427 01:26:08,570 --> 01:26:11,780 We'll see more why that was done next time. 1428 01:26:11,780 --> 01:26:14,000 And there's a projection relation on the field. 1429 01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:15,650 If I'm using a four-component field, 1430 01:26:15,650 --> 01:26:17,192 then I have this projection relation. 1431 01:26:17,192 --> 01:26:19,590 I could also read it in a two-component notation, 1432 01:26:19,590 --> 01:26:21,920 and then I wouldn't need that. 1433 01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:24,695 But for four-component notation, you do need that. 1434 01:26:24,695 --> 01:26:27,610 We'll talk about that next time, too.
