| Jul 30 at 9:24 | comment | added | ZeroTheHero | In fact I’m thinking of -say - Weingarten functions, originally developed for evaluating integrals in field theory, turn out to be useful in the study of disordered media, although these developements were done in parallel. | |
| Jul 30 at 9:17 | comment | added | ZeroTheHero | @PanMrož I honestly don’t think so, although it doesn’t mean some methods and techniques used in non-perturbative YM theory cannot percolate in other areas. After all, a number of techniques developed for field theory are now used in stat. mech. problems. It would very well be that some integration trick developed for non-perturbative YM work turns out to be useful for evaluating some integrals needed to predict properties of new materials. | |
| Jul 30 at 6:28 | comment | added | Pan Mrož | So just to be clear there is almost 0 probability that not fully understanding rigorous non-perturbative YM will hinder in any way development of new materials and medical drugs ? | |
