Explore a comprehensive lecture on the applications of lattice field theory to non-uniform systems, presented by Aleksandr Molochkov at BIMSA. This 90-minute talk examines how lattice field theory techniques, typically used for analyzing strongly interacting quantum field theories in uniform spaces, can be extended to non-uniform systems and non-uniform space-time. Learn about various examples including gauge field theories (U(1), SU(2), SU(3)) in space-time with boundaries, as well as SU(3) theory within rotating and accelerating frames of Minkowski space-time. Discover how space-time non-uniformity affects a theory's spectrum, vacuum structure, and thermodynamic phases. The lecture also briefly covers an innovative application of lattice field theory to inherently discrete and highly non-homogeneous systems such as proteins.
