Renormalization: Theories and Applications  

In General > s.a. [renormalization]; lattice field theory; quantum systems; regge calculus [general relativity].
@ Types of theories: Maslov & Shvedov ht/98-in [Hamiltonian field theories]; Chen & Huang a0904 [theories at a Lifshitz point, UV behavior].
> Applications: see brownian motion; chaos; phase transitions.

Maxwell Theory, QED > s.a. fine-structure constant; Hopf Algebra; QED variations; vacuum.
* Coupling constant: For = e2/c, in general, to one-loop level,

–1() = –1(MX) + (b/2) log(MX / ) ;

this presents the Landau Pole problem; One finds that (E = 0) 1/137, and (E = 91 GeV = MZ) 1/128.
