How can perturbativity survive renormalization?
This also bothered me briefly when learning renormalization. You first assume that $\delta\lambda$ is small throughout, which means that you make a cutoff first, and take $\lambda$ small enough so tha …

What does a non-perturbative theory mean?
A nonperturbative theory means a theory where all the results can be calculated in principle to arbitrary accuracy on a computer. This is really just the same as a well-defined theory, a theory which …

Most suitable metric for the Solar system?
You just add the metric in isotropic form. You need the isotropic Schwartschild solution, which is found by transforming the r coordinate so that the metric looks like:
$$ - g_{00}(u) dt^2 + g_{uu}(u …

Time-Dependent Potentials in Quantum Mechanics
There are several methods, and several reasons.
Sepration of variables is not
The method of "separation of variables" is a misnomer in this exact context. What separation of variables really means i …
