Asymptotic freedom: History and interpretation
Mar, 2008Citations per year
Abstract: (arXiv)
In this lecture, the early history of asymptotic freedom is discussed. The first completely correct derivation of \beta_0 in non-abelian gauge theory (Khriplovich, 1969) was done in the Coulomb gauge/ this derivation is reproduced (in modernized terms) in Sect. 2. A qualitative physical explanation of asymptotic freedom via chromomagnetic properties of vacuum (Nielsen, 1981) is discussed in Sect. 3.- lectures: Dubna 2008
