They are condensed matter physics, which you can do as QFT or as QM, and the lattice parameter is physically there; the lattice parameter is not taken to a limit of zero at the end. | |
| Sep 3 at 6:25 | comment | added | Aqualone | No, I'm not misguided. First, LGT is applicable in cond-mat (e.g. toric code, spin liquids). Secondly, someone might be ultimately interested in HEP, but doesn't come from a particle physics background and wants to learn some LGT, which really only requires QM and group theory. For example, someone getting involved in quantum simulation for LGT, a major research topic these days, who is coming more from the quantum info side rather than the HEP side. | |
| Sep 3 at 1:16 | comment | added | naturallyInconsistent | The only reason to do lattice gauge theory is HEP. If you wanted to do condensed matter physics, you can just use standard QFT for condensed matter. Lattice gauge theory is meant to handle the renormalisation issues of QCD. | |
