LATTICE GAUGE THEORY
First principles ‘‘solution’’ of hadronic physics
• Basic formulation: Wilson 1974
• 1980’s: grew into a major industry
• Dominated by computer simulations
• Annual lattice conference: 300 participants
• New teraflop scale facilities coming
Grandiose goals -- some realized
• Hadronic spectra
• Weak matrix elements
• Quark gluon plasma
• Constraints on Higgs physics

Field theory has divergences• bare charge, mass divergent• must ‘‘regulate’’ for calculation• Pauli Villars, dimensional regularization: perturbative• based on Feynman diagrams
But important non-perturbative effects• confinement• chiral symmetry breaking
need a ‘‘non-perturbative’’ regulator
Wilson’s strong coupling lattice theory (1973)• strong coupling limit confines• only hadrons can move
space-time lattice = non-perturbative cutoff

Quarks: serious unsolved problems
Anticommuting fields• 6⇒ classical statistical mechanics• Integrate out as a determinant• Tedious to simulate.
Chemical potential background baryon density
• Non-positive weight.• No viable algorithms known!
Chiral fermions and the ‘‘standard model’’• Unsolved difficulties tied with anomalies.• Lots of recent activity.• My favorite: 4d world an interface in 5d

My Pet Problems
Chiral gauge theories
• parity conserving theories in good shape
• chiral theories (neutrinos) remain enigmatic
• non-perturbative definition of the weak interactions?
• related problem: supersymmetry
Fermion algorithms
• very awkward
• background ‘‘sign problem’’ unsolved
• why treat fermions and bosons so differently?
We need new ideas!
