We present a method for extracting effective Lagrangians from QCD. The resulting effective Lagrangians are based on exact rewrites of cut-off QCD in terms of these new collective field degrees of freedom. These cut-off Lagrangians are thus…
We present a general scheme for extracting effective degrees of freedom from an underlying fundamental Lagrangian, through a series of well-defined transformations in the functional integral of the cut-off theory. This is done by…
A brief introduction to the effective Lagrangian treatment of QCD (in the sense of using fields representing physical particles rather than quarks and gluons) will be given. The historical evolution of the subject will be discussed. Some…
Lecture Notes, Summer School on Effective Theories and Fundamental Interactions, Erice, 1996. The application of effective field theory methods to the low energy structure of QCD is discussed. I emphasize the universal structure of the…
Starting from the effective lagrangian for QCD at high energy we calculate the lowest perturbative contributions to the potential of a relativistic nucleus and compare our results to those derived by Kovchegov (see Y.V. Kovchegov, Phys.…
Effective Lagrangians were originally used only at the tree level as so-called phenomenological Lagrangians since they were in general non-renormalizable. Today they are treated as effective field theories valid below a characteristic…
These lectures introduce some of the basic ideas of effective field theories. The topics discussed include: relevant and irrelevant operators and scaling, renormalization in effective field theories, decoupling of heavy particles, power…
After a very brief review of the formalism of lattice gauge theories we show how one can calculate the parameters of the continuum chiral Lagrangians proceeding through the derivation of an effective lattice chiral Lagrangian as an…
The low-energy and low-momentum dynamics of systems with a spontaneously broken continuous symmetry is dominated by the ensuing Nambu-Goldstone bosons. It can be conveniently encoded in a model-independent effective field theory whose…
These lectures provide an introduction to the low-energy dynamics of Nambu-Goldstone fields, associated with some spontaneous (or dynamical) symmetry breaking, using the powerful methods of effective field theory. The generic symmetry…
We present some generic arguments demonstrating that an effective Lagrangian $L_{eff}$ which, by definition, contains operators $O^n$ of arbitrary dimensionality in general is not convergent, but rather an asymptotic series. It means that…
Effective Lagrangians for Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) especially suited for understanding deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration at nonzero temperature and matter density are reviewed. These effective theories allow one to study…
The low energy behaviour of Quantum Chromodynamics makes unreliable an expansion in terms of its coupling strength, since nothing guarantees the convergence of such expansion. To overcomer such difficulty one resorts to Lattice QCD or…
Results from studies of effective Lagrangians for gaugino condensation are summarized and re-examined with an eye to previously neglected one-loop quadratically divergent corrections.
Motivated by past and recent analyses we critically re-examine the use of effective lagrangians in the literature to constrain new physics and to determine the `physics reach' of future experiments. We demonstrate that many calculations,…
A QCD based effective action is constructed to describe the dynamics of confinement and symmetry breaking in the process of parton-hadron conversion. The deconfined quark and gluon degrees of freedom of the perturbative QCD vacuum are…
We propose a method to derive the low-energy efective action of QCD assuming that the long-distance properties of strong interactions can be described by a string theory. We bypass the usual problems related to the existence of the tachyon…
Effective Lagrangians, including those that are spontaneously broken, contain redundant terms. It is shown that the classical equations of motion may be used to simplify the effective Lagrangian, even when quantum loops are to be…
The construction of a general effective lagrangian consistent with the symmetries of QCD and intended for applications to finite-density systems is discussed. The low-energy structure of the composite nucleon is described within the theory…
We derive the chiral effective Lagrangian for heavy-light mesons in the heavy quark limit from QCD under proper approximations. The low energy constants in the effective Lagrangian are expressed in terms of the light quark self-energy. With…
