This lecture explores Dilaton Chiral Perturbation Theory and its applications, presented by Maarten Golterman from San Francisco State University. Delve into the complex world of strongly interacting Quantum Field Theory (QFT) with particular focus on how the strong nuclear force is described by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Learn about Yang-Mills theory that exhibits asymptotic freedom while becoming strongly coupled at long distances, where phenomena like quark confinement and chiral symmetry breaking occur. Discover how Lattice Gauge Theory has evolved into a precision tool through improved algorithms, theoretical insights, and computational power. The 47-minute talk is part of a conference aimed at stimulating interplay between lattice and continuum approaches to QFT, covering topics including Euclidean and Hamiltonian approaches to lattice field theory, quantum simulation connections, string-theoretic approaches to confining flux tubes, and recent developments in formal QFT like generalized symmetries.
