The standard lattice perturbation theory leads to the asymptotic series because of the incorrect interchange of the summation and integration. However, changing the initial approximation of the perturbation theory, one can generate the…
We present a new numerical Monte Carlo approach to determine the scaling behavior of lattice field theories far from equilibrium. The presented methods are generally applicable to systems where classical-statistical fluctuations dominate…
Differences between lattice Monte Carlo data and perturbation theory (for example the lack of asymptotic scaling) are usually associated with the `bad' behaviour of the bare lattice coupling g_0 due to the effects of large (and unknown)…

We compare, for the static potential and at short distances, perturbation theory with the results of lattice simulations. We show that a renormalon-dominance picture explains why in the literature sometimes agreement, and another…

We discuss how the concept of the Monte Carlo Hamiltonian can be applied to lattice gauge theories.
Three techniques for performing gauge-invariant, noncompact lattice simulations of nonabelian gauge theories are discussed. In the first method, the action is not itself gauge invariant, but a kind of lattice gauge invariance is restored by…
Many of the exciting features of the Standard Model of the elementary particles are inherently non-perturbative. A theoretical understanding of many physics aspects beyond the Standard Model of elementary particles also requires a…
